Striving to instil the love of qur'an in the hearts of the community, the Husseini Islamic Center of Orlando's Youth girls organized the first ever Night of Power Qur'an Drive during the Holy Month of Ramadhan.
Participants of all ages could choose to recite Surah Ankabut, learn the meaning of Surah Dukhan, and/or create a visual representation of Surah Rum. Children 5 and under were presented the challenge of learning to recite Surah Qadr and create an art piece reflecting their understanding of the surah. On 'test day', despite the stormy weather, over 50 individuals participated in one or more categories and they were later honoured at our Recognition Party. Syed Hadi Qazwini spoke about the importance of instilling Qur'an and shared some tips on how to make this responsibility a family affair.
A donation on behalf of the participants was made to the World Federation Ramadhan Relief Fund.
One participant cheerfully and thankfully remarked "I actually knew what I was reciting during my a'maal this year!" The organizing team thanks all those who contributed and participated in the Qur'an Drive and look forward to a wider response in the years to come.
