The Muslim Unity Center held a Qur`an recitation contest during Ramadan; the contest showed the tremendous skills of the hifz school students.

The hifz school students, taught by Sheikh Ahmed Mabrouk, also recited beautifully during tahajjud and taraweeh prayers during Ramadan.

The Qur`an competition was divided into four categories based on age and level of study.  The ages of the students varied from 6 to 14.

The contestants recited surahs of their own choice, and after each recitation the mosque was filled with shouts of “Subhanallah” and “Allahu Akbar,” and those in attendance showered praise on the management of the Unity Center for organizing such  an event on the auspicious occasion of Laylatul Qadr, when Qur`an was first revealed to Prophet (s).

The winners of the first level of the contest were the following:  Dania Demashkieh and (1st level) Besher Kashlan; in second place  (1st level) Ghassan Abunada; third place (1st level) Luay Demashkieh; fourth place (1st level) was Yusuf Kashlan; in fifth place was Hamzah Kaakarli.
