A young boy from Karachi has brought pride to Pakistan by achieving an extraordinary milestone. Muhammad Abu Bakr, a 10-year-old who is visually impaired, secured first place in an international Quran recitation competition held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The competition took place under Rabita Alam Islami’s “Tahfeez and Qira’at” program and featured participants from several Islamic countries.
Abu Bakr studies at Madrassa Dar Al-Islah Lil Tahfeez Wal Tajweed, where he has been learning Quran memorization and recitation.
Despite his age and physical challenges, he impressed the judges with his clear, accurate, and heartfelt recitation. His performance stood out among many skilled students from across the Muslim world, earning him the top position.
His father, who works as a caretaker in a mosque, said the achievement is not only a proud moment for their family but also a blessing for the nation. He expressed deep gratitude for the support his son has received.
Abu Bakr’s teacher, Qari Islahullah Sadiq, also shared his happiness and said that the boy’s dedication and discipline played a major role in his success.
Many people across Pakistan are celebrating Abu Bakr’s accomplishment, calling it a source of national pride. His journey serves as an inspiring example for children and adults alike. It shows that disability does not limit a person’s potential when they have determination, guidance, and strong belief.
Abu Bakr’s victory highlights the talent present in Pakistan’s young generation and the importance of supporting children in religious and educational fields. His story continues to motivate others to work hard and pursue their goals with confidence.
