Dubai: The young Malaysian participant who was eventually declared the winner of the recitation event at the Dubai International Holy Quran Award (DIHQA) event had the jam-packed audience in a thrall.
The contest began at midnight on Thursday after the conclusion of programmes associated with the event. The prizes will be announced today at 9.30pm in the presence of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, at the Cultural and Scientific Association.
There were seven participants in all who vied for the top three prizes. A Turkish contestant and a Kuwaiti participant were adjudged second and third respectively in the recitation event.
Showcasing talent


Thirteen-year- old Mohammad Bin Ahmad Zahid's performance moved some members of the audience to tears. His recitation of verses from Surat Ar-Rahman (The Beneficent, The Mercy Giving) of the Quran during the stage of the competition when each participant was given seven minutes to showcase his talent went down especially well with those assembled.

Iftar with Adik Mohammad bin Ahmad Zahid
20th day of Ramadhan

Anak ini begitu istimewa di mata kami. Once I set my eyes on him, had a deja vu that I've seen this familiar face. Tapi kat mana ya? Only then I realised I have seen him on TV reciting Azan calling people to perform solat. But today we saw him in person; masih muda tapi diri tampak mature. Adik Muhammad bergelar Hafiz pada usia semuda 10 tahun. Keterampilan dan Sahsiah serta Akhlak beliau begitu terserlah dan amat tertib sekali. Percakapan dan tingkah laku tidak langsung mengambarkan beliau baru berusia 13 tahun. Tiada perkataan yang dapat diungkapkan bagi menceritakan keistimewaan anak yang bernama Muhammad ini. Dapat dirasakan betapa bangganya ibubapa beliau. Namun itulah hakikatnya.

As usual, we had meals for Iftar pot lucked by mommies and solat Maghrib diImamkan oleh adik kecil ini. Menitis air mata, terusik naluri keibuan tatkala beliau mula membaca Al -Fatihah dan Quranic verses seterusnya. Sesudah solat, adik Mohammad meluangkan masa memperdengarkan sedikit Quranic verses dan ada sessi temubual dan dijawab dengan begitu confident dan tertib. Antaranya makna yang tersirat bila seseorang itu sudah biasa dengan hafazan dan ayat Qur'an, seseorang pasti akan baik budi dan akhlaknya. Ditanya tentang cita2 ; 'hendak menjadi Ulamak Professional' katanya. Alhamdulillah, he has set his mind and he knows well where to head on. Bak kata saudara Hasnol "Cilik orangnya, namun ilmu di dada mencerahi perawakannya. Baru 13 tahun, dah menjadi Imam jemputan d Masjid sekitar Kuala Lumpur", Impressive! Hati kami berkata "Sesuai buat calon menantu".

We were so genuinely impressed dengan anak kecil ini, begitu juga utk kedua ibubapanya. Dalam hati berkata kedua ibubapanya memang memainkan peranan samarata dan amat committed dalam memberi warna yang betul dalam membentuk sahsiah diri anak-anak mereka. Si adik berumur 8 tahun juga telah menghafaz banyak juzuk, begitu juga adik2 yang lain. Rasa kerdil memikirkan tentang family sendiri dan termampukan menyediakan bekalan atau 'harta' semahal ini. Hanya anak yang soleh yang tidak akan lupa untuk mendoakan ibubapa yang telah tiada. Never too late, utk kami. Mudah-mudahan, InsyaAllah

Kepada Adik Mohammad bin Ahmad Zahid, Tahniah dari kami sekeluarga serta semua warga Malaysia di Dubai. We are proud having u here. Alhamdulillah.
