Mohammed VI Foundation of Africa holds Hadith Competition in Accra

The Mohammed VI Foundation of Af­rican Oulema, Gha­na Branch, has held the second edition of its Annual Had­ith Competition in Accra, aimed at promoting Islamic scholarship, preserving the Prophetic traditions, and inspiring young Muslims to deepen their knowledge and faith.

The contest, which also under­scores the relevance of Hadith in guiding contemporary Muslim life, brought together students from Madrasas across the country.

Regional preliminaries were conducted in the Northern, Cen­tral, and Southern zones to select finalists for the national event.

Participants demonstrated their mastery in memorisation, recita­tion, and interpretation of Hadith before an audience that included dignitaries from the Moroccan Embassy, leading Islamic scholars, Arabic instructors, and members of the Muslim community.

They commended the Founda­tion for nurturing the next genera­tion of leaders and scholars.

President of the Foundation’s Ghana Branch, Sheikh Mustapha Ibrahim, praised the high level of commitment displayed by the stu­dents and urged winners to make Ghana proud at the upcoming continental finals.

“Ghana will be competing against Nigeria, Mauritania, Sen­egal, Chad, Morocco and others. With the dedication shown, I am confident Ghana stands a strong chance of winning,” he said.

Winners were announced in three categories including: Catego­ry One (40 selected Hadiths with chain of transmission): Afnaan Swalah Nasigri, winner; Abass Iddris, second; Zainab Abdullah, third; Category Two (35 selected Hadiths with meanings): Sa’aadatu Thaalith, winner; Wakeel Abdul Kareem, second; Kamaludeen Mohammed, third and Category Three (25 Ahkaam Hadiths with explanations): Yasin Abdul Mu­tallib, winner; Hindu Mohammed, second; Muntaka Hamza, third.

The three first-place winners would represent Ghana at the forthcoming All-Africa Hadith Competition.

Last year, Kamaludeen Mo­hammed of Ghana won both the national and continental contests.
