Quranic studies panacea for video games
The State-level ‘Quranic Studies Competition,’ which was held in the past few months in different parts of the State, concluded here on Sunday. The competition was organised by the United Forum for Quranic Studies (UFQS).
Vijayawada: The State-level ‘Quranic Studies Competition,’ which was held in the past few months in different parts of the State, concluded here on Sunday. The competition was organised by the United Forum for Quranic Studies (UFQS).
Chairman of the UFQS Md Dawood said the organisation had been conducting Quranic competitions to encourage Muslim children to read Holy Quran. He announced that 8,000 students from various parts of the State took part in the competition. As many as 57 students from five groups entered the finals and the winners were given cash prize of Rs 20,000, Rs 15,000 and Rs 10,000, he said.
He informed that so far 40,000 children participated in the competitions conducted in the state for the last four years.
Expressing concern over the change in habits of children, Dawood said that these days, children are getting addicted to mobile games and wasting time by playing games and are glued to their phones. He said a study revealed that 62 percent children prefer games like shooting, fighting and robbery. These kind of games would pollute the minds and hearts of children, he lamented.
To overcome such situation one should have divine fear for a change and Quranic studies was one way to mould them as better citizens, he observed.
