Ramadan Quran Contest Concludes in Pakistan’s Peshawar
Quran memorization, Tahqiq and Tarteel recitation, and questions on Surahs Hujurat and Israa were the categories of the two-day competition.
It was held for male and female participants in two groups of teenagers and the youth in Kheybar Pakhtunkhwa province.

Three participants in each category were announced as the winners at the end of the contest.
Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. It is a period of prayer, fasting, charity giving and self–accountability for Muslims around the world.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast (abstain from foods and drinks) from sunrise to sunset.
They also devote a considerable amount of time during this month to reading and contemplating the Quran.
Holding Quran competitions is also very common in this month every year. This year, most of the Quran contests have been organized online due to coronavirus concerns.
