CIS Ghana Students Join Global Quran Recitation Summit Online — Inspiring Young Reciters

The Centre for Islamic Studies (CIS) continues to strengthen its commitment to nurturing disciplined, confident, and spiritually grounded students. As part of this mission, selected students recently participated in the Global Qur’an Recitation Summit, an international virtual gathering that brought together young reciters, scholars, and Qur’an enthusiasts from across the Muslim world. The Summit served as an excellent platform for students to refine their recitation skills, learn from experienced teachers, and appreciate the beauty and depth of the Qur’an.

The event featured sessions on Tajweed, the science governing proper recitation, as well as spiritual reminders on the importance of connecting with the Qur’an beyond memorisation. Students joined discussions led by renowned Qur’an instructors from countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Nigeria, gaining exposure to diverse recitation styles and techniques. The experience broadened their understanding of how Muslims across the globe preserve and honour the Book of Allah.

CIS students expressed great enthusiasm as they interacted with peers from different cultural backgrounds, all united by a shared love for the Qur’an. For many, this was their first experience participating in an international Islamic programme, and the summit encouraged them to aim higher in their personal and academic lives. Teachers also observed remarkable improvements in pronunciation, rhythm, and confidence among the participants.

The Global Qur’an Recitation Summit also emphasised the importance of applying Qur’anic teachings in daily life. Speakers reminded students that recitation is only complete when it is paired with good character, discipline, and obedience to Allah. This message reinforced CIS’s vision of shaping students who excel both spiritually and academically.

CIS will continue to create opportunities for students to participate in regional and global Islamic programmes. The school believes that connecting with the wider Ummah helps students build strong identities, appreciate diversity, and understand their role as future Muslim leaders.
