“Today, we gather not just to celebrate, but to reflect on the power of the Qur’an, the sacrifice of parents, and the endless mercy of Allah. I begin by thanking the Almighty Allah for granting us success in concluding the maiden edition of the Quranic Recitation Competition, held in honor of the late Hajiya Abibatu Mogaji, OON, MFR, the mother of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

“May Allah forgive her shortcomings, accept this effort on her behalf as sadaqah jariyah, and grant her Al-Jannah Firdaus. Ameen.

“To these brilliant young reciters, we say: you have not just won a prize, you have earned a place among the people of the Qur’an Ahlul Qur’an. And so, as a symbol of our appreciation, the four crown winners are being awarded homes as a foundation for their future. Allah (SWT) tells us in the Qur’an:

“We pray these vehicles bring stability and sustainability to your homes, and that they become tools for provision, not distraction.

“And perhaps most inspiring of all, thanks to the generosity of Qatar Charity, these young stars have also earned full scholarships — up to the university level. This is not just a gift; it is a gateway to knowledge.”
