Tijan Al Noor: The Holy Quran Recitation Contest.
Doha: Jeem TV is set to present several special programmes to inspire children and families during Ramadan this year.
Formerly Al Jazeera Children’s Channel (JCC), a child centric channel, Jeem TV recently engaged children with the ‘Ramadan Slogan Competition’ to showcase their spirit in the holy month. Ramadan Ghaith Al Quloob (Ramadan, the delight of heart) was chosen as the winning theme and will be featured as an overreaching message of JeemTV and its identity.
The programmes include new seasons of the channel’s most successful shows such as Tijan Al Noor (The Holy Quran Recitation Contest) Baad Al Taraweeh, Noun and Uncle Mosleh’s Tales. In addition, two co-produced series — Min Qissas Al Saleheen and Olamaa Al Muslimin — a short animation movie Stories of Islam will also go on air.

This year 1,367 children aged 9-13 years from 54 countries will compete in front of a prestigious panel of judges from the Arab world.
