Assalamu Alaikom Wa Rahmatu Allahe Wa Barakatuh,
Dear Parents/Caregivers,
On the 23rd and 24th of May, the Australian Islamic College held its Annual Quran and Azan Competition at the Adelaide campus. Alhamdulillah the Quran competition was a great success with 73 participants ranging from Reception to Year 12. The main aim of the Quran competition was to encourage students to recite The Holy Quran and to provide them with the opportunity to compete with each other with the best recitation of the words of Allah.
The judges for the competition were Imam Mohamed Elsayed of AIC Adelaide, Imam Riyad El-Rifaie of Marion Masjid, Dr. Ahmed Mostafa the Director of Hifz Program, and Ustadh. Marie Salem. We were privileged to have the Imams address the students about the greatness of The Holy Quran and advise them that those people who live their lives in accordance with the Quran are the people of Jannah.
The participants and parents were also very fortunate to have a breathtaking Quran recitation from Imam Riyad and Dr. Ahmed who read with his beautiful voice.
The college would like to congratulate all the boys and girls who won in this year’s Quran competition. However, in the sight of Allah SWT, everybody is a winner for being part of this competition!
I am also delighted to inform you that the top six winners will each get a scholarship from a very generous and good friend and brother, Dr. Waleed. May Allah SWT rewards him abundantly.
May Allah accept from all of us, keep us all steadfast and united and keep away from us any form of division and disunity.
May Allah bring the hearts closer and protect all Muslims from any evil and harm.
AMEEN AMEEN AMEEN.
Wassalam
Imam Mohamed Elsayed
Imam of Australian Islamic College Adelaide
