Amazing Quran Memorization and Recitation Competition


110 kids from the Islamic world are chosen and arrive in Cairo for the world’s oldest Quran reciting contest. Koran By Heart follows two boys from Senegal and Tajikistan, and a little girl from Maldives, of 10 years old- who go head-to-head with kids nearly twice their age in the pronunciation, recitation and perfected memorization of the Qur’an

    I do admire your passion however i would respectfully disagree with your analysis.No to say that our ways(WEST) is the best in the world but comparatively i am sure that you can tell the difference as times go by between folks who are raised memorizing stuffs they do not understand vs those who were raised analyzing what`s what . Clearly you can see where extremism comes from ! Folks are told that jihad to hunting and killing those they do not agree with.without analysis of the true meanings….

    No kid this age would understand anything beyond C for Cat or D for Dog etc. But the beauty here is two fold: Firstly, Quraan is The Book uniquely natural and very own inimitable symphony; secondly, it is Mercy to memorize even for young kids who never get bored of reciting it. Most of these children do go on to dissect, digest, and ACT on The Book. And that is the ultimate literacy. TRY READING IT. IT WILL SURPRISE YOU. BTW, Google the word “atrocities”and see who you get as worst offenders.

    No wonder whenever these folks are told to hate and kill those who do not agree with their version of Islam ,without any question to go ahead and commit all sort of atrocities.Memorizing without analysis ultimately will lead to extremism.Clearly these kids are not taught to dissect and digest what`s written.This is worse than illiteracy .

    We have a saying in my country that can apply to a lot of haters in here: “When the cat can’t reach the ham, he says it stinks.” in the same manner, when grown up haters realize they can’t compete with the memorization skills of these blessed little kids, they quickly write down irrelevant hateful comments to appease their frail self-confidence.

    google “scientific errors in the quran” …kids need to be taught to reason and think for themselves…rote memorization leads to a continuation of the ignorance that is islam

  15. foeasy16 says:

    For me to entertain those claims of which you have no evidence of would be a mistake on my part, and besides I really don’t care about somebody that would go out of their way to criticize little innocent kids. I bet you’d rather you’re kids do something productive rather than rapidly becoming douche bags and trash human beings like yourself before you’re eyes.

  16. foeasy16 says:

    What kind of person criticizes little innocent kids? And death threats? So If I told somebody to go kill themselves, that’s a death threat? Either you’re incredibly stupid or you’re reading comprehension skills are severely lacking.

  17. foeasy16 says:

    My issue is that these kids are staying out of trouble and doing something productive and this nobody has the audacity to criticize little children, now compare these kids to the facebooking/texting/skinny jean wearing scum bag kids. Lets put things into perspective now.

    “No, no, no YOU are the problem, you’re knocking these kids for doing something good for themselves…Ideally understanding the religion should come first”
    So, which is the BIGGER problem? That someone stated their opinion that people memorise but don’t understand- an opinion you AGREE with, or that kids are being made to memorise things without understanding of what you happen to believe to be “the truth”? Bear in mind, much of the problems in the world are caused by unthinking zombies…

  21. TurboDally says:

    “…you’re knocking these kids for doing something good for themselves…where’s the harm”
    Memorisation doesn’t compensate for the lack of critical thinking skills. Time spent memorising fiction, is time wasted that could otherwise be used to develop critical thinking skills which are essential for any child.
    “Go kill yourself.”
    You asked for a harm- you’ve demonstrated it. Instead of acknowledging criticism and providing constructive criticism, you perform ad hominem attacks and death threats.

  22. jethro035181 says:

    these kids should be getting an education and not memorizing nonsense like the earth is flat, the sun and moon revolve around the earth, the sun sets in a spring of murky water and shooting stars are missles for devils…this dark age nonsense is out of the koran and is meant to be taken literally among you people
