The Qur’anic Botanic Garden (QBG) has announced the AlUtrujah Holy Quran Contest in collaboration with the Education City Mosque, which will start at the beginning of Ramadan.
It aims to encourage the community and school students to memorise the Holy Quran, and highlights the Quranic verses and stories that focus on botanical terms. Contestants will also be asked about the meaning of some verses of the Holy Quran that relate to plants.
The contest, which will feature a series of different categories, is open to both male and female schoolchildren in Qatar under-12 years old, as well as employees and students of Qatar Foundation and Education City universities.
The finals of the AlUtrujah contest will be held in the first week of Ramadan. Interested participants must register before April 20, via the QBG website, http://www.qbg.org.qa/.
Alongside the AlUtrujah contest, which is the name of a citrus fruit mentioned in the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), a number of Ramadan events and activities will be organised by the QBG at the Education City Mosque. These include public lectures based on the ethics and stories of the plants mentioned in the Holy Quran and Hadith and will be delivered by a number of well-known Islamic scholars.
