Benha National University organized its Qur’an and Prophetic Hadith Competition during the holy month of Ramadan as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting cultural and religious activities and fostering religious awareness among students. The competition was held with the support of Prof. Tamer Samir, President of the University, and Prof. Hussein El-Maghraby, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and was coordinated by Dr. Khaled Eissaoui, Advisor to the University President for Student Activities.
The competition was designed to encourage students to strengthen their engagement with the Holy Qur’an and the Prophetic Sunnah, while reinforcing values of discipline, reflection, and moral responsibility within the University community.
The event attracted 59 participants, including 28 male students and 31 female students, who competed across a number of categories:
- Memorization of the entire Holy Qur’an
- Memorization of three quarters of the Holy Qur’an
- Memorization of half of the Holy Qur’an
- Memorization of one quarter of the Holy Qur’an
- Prophetic Hadith category (Al-Nawawi’s Forty Hadith)
The judging panel commended the high standard demonstrated by participants, particularly in the full Qur’an memorization category, which recorded the highest level of participation and reflected the strong engagement of students in faith based and values driven activities.
The inclusion of a dedicated Prophetic Hadith category further broadened participation and enriched the overall scope of the competition, allowing a greater number of students to take part. The event was delivered in a well organized and supportive environment, contributing to an atmosphere that reflected the spiritual significance of the holy month and the University’s emphasis on student development in its broader sense.
