Umar Bermejo participates in the 14th international ‘huffadh’ competition, Toronto, Canada

The Toronto Qur’an Competition is an organization dedicated to promoting the good and serving the Noble Qur’an, hoping to encourage the younger generation to be people of this enlightening Book, while strengthening the practice of their noble path. The prestigious Toronto Quran Competition aims to revive the community’s relationship with the Noble Book of Allah.

Umar Bermejo, from Seville, has participated in the 14th edition of this prestigious international competition for the memorization of the Koran. Umar Bermejo has also participated before in other similar competitions that have taken place in Kuala Lumpur or Dubai.

The memorization of the Qur’an is an arduous and necessary task in all communities whose benefits are incalculable. It is a ‘fard kifayyah’, an obligation of the whole community that if a part of it is fulfilled the rest are exempt, but if no one carries it out, the whole community is responsible for it being done. For this reason, and because of the immense value brought by those who have memorized the Qur’an, it is necessary that each and every one of us be aware of the effort and dedication that these young people dedicate to this noble task and that we do our best to honor and help them.
