Dubai: With clear and impressively fluent Arabic the Burundi contestant said, "I memorised the Quran to honour my mother's request, who witnessed my enthusiasm to learn it."
Nyandwi Majaliwa, from Burundi, was the first contestant to show off his talents for this year's Dubai International Holy Quran Award (DIHQA), which is being held at the Cultural and Scientific Association in Al Mamzar, Dubai.
After his dawn prayers, he undertakes two hours of Quran memorisation till 9am. His day at a regular school ends in the afternoon following which he revises the Quran until sunset.
"I am very respected and honoured in my home town for memorising the Quran," he said.
He enjoys reading about world and current political affairs from magazines and newspapers. Young as he seems, the contestant is also knowledgable of the works of prominent Islamic scholars on interpretation such as Mohammad Ali Al Saboni.
His native country is approximately 62 per cent Roman Catholic, 8 to 10 per cent Muslim and the rest follow indigenous beliefs and other Christian denominations.
