Speech by Dr. Khaled Qandil

To you, heroes of the divine word.. To you are those whose hearts have become a dwelling place for the holy verses. To you who have traversed the labyrinthine corridors of memory to embrace the indescribable beauty of God’s book – I address these words, not just letters on parchment, But for your deep voice to reach the world. You gathered under the azure canopy of the watchful eye of heaven, And you embarked on a journey beyond the temporal fabric of existence, With the echoes of your resounding recitations and the rhythms of your voices, you carved the longing of your souls into the hearts of the martyrs. your souls have been purified, It established a link between the earthly and the heavenly. O victorious souls, your victory is not a victory of rivalry or ego-driven ambition, It is a victory born of the union between the finite and the infinite, Triumph resounds in the chambers of the soul, When you stood before the judges and the eager eyes of the faithful, You were not just a participant, You were divine envoys, I found the pages of the Holy Quran, that embraces deep wisdom through the ages, live echo in your hearts, Your commitment to preservation, and your hours of recitation, and your tears shed in moments of deep attachment – all gathered at this wonderful juncture, Where your voices become an anthem of devotion. But remember champs, your journey does not end at the climax of this competition, no, It is a journey that extends in the horizons of your life, A ceaseless quest to embody the truths you have embraced. you all, In reality, legacy torchbearers, charged with the task of carrying a beacon of faith to the darkest corners of the world, As your voices chimed in the amphitheater, May your life be in harmony with the divine commandments. To light the way for others.
