National Quran Recitation Contest Honors Young Participants
On March 14, 2026, Casablanca witnessed a significant event as the Mohammed VI Foundation for Social Works of National Security personnel organized the final of the inaugural National Quran Memorization and Recitation Contest. This prestigious event took place at the Administrative and Cultural Complex of Habous, gathering together the children and orphans of police officers. The contest was aimed at nurturing the cultural and religious development of these young individuals, fostering an understanding of the sacred text while instilling values of tolerance and moderation that are central to Islam.
Event Highlights and Participants
The final was not merely a competition; it served as a celebration of the young talent that emerged from regional selections held across various police prefectures in Morocco. Contestants were divided into two main categories: complete memorization and quality of recitation (Tajwid). The participants showcased impressive technical skill and profound spirituality, leaving the jury—composed of experts in Quranic sciences—thoroughly impressed. The event was attended by a high-ranking official delegation, including representatives from local, military, and security authorities, as well as senior members of the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN). Award ceremonies recognized the outstanding performances of the young participants, with both financial and material rewards presented, while special acknowledgment was given to the jury for their guidance and fairness.
This initiative is part of the broader strategy of the DGSN, aiming to support the younger generations of the national security family. By encouraging the memorization of the Quran, the foundation seeks to cultivate a sense of cultural identity and moral grounding among the children of police officers.
