Jamil Mohammad, who attended the 27th international Quran competition in Tehran last week, told that Iranian reciters, including Masud Nikdasti who won the top title in Iran’s international contest and Jafar Fardi who came second last year in Malaysia’s Quran competition, have shown their talents in different international events.
He said Mr. Nikdasti deserved to win the first position, though the Tanzanian reciter also performed a beautiful recitation.

Asked about Quran instruction in his country, Jamil Mohammad said there are Quran memorization institutes as well as traditional Quranic centers in Sri Lanka where Muslims of all ages learn the Quran.
Mohammad, who attended the recitation category of Tehran’s Quran competition, is also a memorizer of the entire holy Quran.
Iran’s 27th international holy Quran competition was held from July 9-14 with the participation of 95 contestants from 60 countries.
