Egyptian Minister of Endowments, Osama Al-Azhari, has commended a contestant's Quranic recitation on the state TV show, "Dawlat Al-Tilawa" (State of Recitation). The contestant, Abdel Rahman Abdel Lah, who is visually impaired, impressed Al-Azhari with his beautiful recitation. Al-Azhari stated that they are on the verge of discovering a talented and lasting voice in the world of Quranic recitation.

The judging panel also praised Abdel Rahman's performance, stating that his recitation was good with no errors in Tajweed (Quranic recitation rules). The panel appreciated his wonderful feeling and performance, and wished him continued success. Meanwhile, Islamic preacher, Mustafa Hosny, expressed his admiration for Abdel Rahman's recitation, saying that God loves to see His servants happy and content.

"Dawlat Al-Tilawa" is a Quranic recitation competition that airs on Fridays and Saturdays at 9 PM on Life, CBC, and Al-Nas TV channels. The show is also available on the Watch It platform at 11 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. The second season of the show features contestants of various ages, including 91-year-old Sheikh Awad Al-Fardi, the oldest contestant, and 11-year-old Sheikh Abdel Rahman Abu Fayed, the youngest.

The show aims to showcase Egypt's Quranic talents and promote a culture of listening to distinguished recitations. The second season of "Dawlat Al-Tilawa" will continue until the night of the crescent moon sighting in Ramadan. The program has been well-received by audiences, with many praising its role in promoting Quranic recitation and Islamic values.

In a special episode, the show will feature the first recording of a complete Quranic recitation by the winners of the first season, Bilal Sayyef and Mohamed Kamel. This recording will be broadcast before it is aired on the Egypt Quranic channel. The show's organizers hope that it will inspire a new generation of Quranic reciters and promote a deeper understanding of Islamic values.

The show's format allows contestants to showcase their talents and compete with others from different parts of Egypt. The judging panel, comprising experts in Quranic recitation, evaluates the contestants' performances based on their Tajweed, tone, and overall recitation skills. The show's host, Amal Al-Qadi, guides the contestants through the competition and provides feedback on their performances.

The Egyptian Ministry of Endowments has expressed its support for the show, which aims to promote Quranic recitation and Islamic values among Egyptians. Minister Al-Azhari has stated that the show is an important initiative that helps to discover new Quranic talents and promote a culture of listening to distinguished recitations.
