Warba Bank honored the winners of the fourth edition of its "Qurra Warba" Ramadan competition, held in collaboration with the "Saad" application.
The competition drew 3,662 participants across various age groups, making it a significant community initiative aimed at promoting Quranic recitation and Tajweed through interactive digital platforms.
The event saw strong engagement during the Holy Month of Ramadan, reflecting the bank’s success in using digital technology to foster positive competition and religious education.
Abdullah Fakhro, Executive Manager of Sharia Management at Warba Bank, said the participation of 3,662 individuals reflects the community’s demand for initiatives that combine Islamic values with modern digital tools. "We believe our social responsibility extends beyond launching initiatives to providing platforms that support community development and cultural identity," Fakhro said. He added that the competition offered participants an opportunity to learn and improve their recitation skills through a digital platform.
Fakhro said the competition aligns with the bank’s vision of employing digital solutions to expand access to educational content. The partnership with the "Saad" app provided a specialized and user-friendly experience for participants across different age groups. As part of the campaign, Warba Bank and "Saad" hosted an introductory booth at Assima Mall, featuring a mini-studio that enabled visitors to experience Quranic recitation firsthand. This two-day event helped increase participation and engagement throughout the competition period.
The bank said such initiatives are central to its strategy of supporting sustainable community programs that promote knowledge and cultural values. The closing ceremony honored the winners to encourage continued learning and engagement with Quranic studies.
