To all the participants may Almighty Allah accept all your efforts. This competition is not about winning it is about your bravery in participating and taking the time to practice and learn to recite the Holy Quran in a beautiful way.
أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا {73:4}
Or a little more; and recite the Qur’an in slow, measured rhythmic tones.
Judging is also a subjective process, and on any day due to the competitive nature of having so many good reciters someone misses out. Do not get discouraged, InshaAllah your efforts have been accepted by Allah and InshaAllah you practice a little more and come back next year.
Congratulations to those who have progressed to the final on May 11th, 2025 and we look forward to seeing you all at Imam Hasan Centre. The timings will be confirmed to you shortly.
All state 1st place winner will receive a State Winners plaque – Final winners will share in $10,000 cash and prizes. Prizes will be presented at the FINAL on May 11, 2025
