According to MuslimsAroundTheWorld, the top winner of this competition will be sent on an Umrah pilgrimage. 

The goal of the contest is to encourage young people and those interested in reviving the spiritual and authentic art of prayer recitation and Ibtihal, which draws a direct connection between people and God through sincere and humble supplication.

The competition will identify brilliant talents in this field, according to the organizers.

It is expected that the competition will be held with widespread participation from Kazan and other cities of Tatarstan.

In addition to the Umrah trip, other prizes will be awarded to encourage participants and motivate them to strengthen their skills in this art.
