About the Competition

 

Competitors range in age and ability; from 4 to 74 and novice to pro. Each year we welcome back hundreds of competitors all aiming to achieve a higher level than they had the previous year. With the ultimate aim of winning the category, they have entered, whether it’s 1, 3, 5, 15, 20 or 30 juzz – the whole quran.

Each year the competition welcomes hundreds of new applicants, from different nationalities and all at different stages of their hifz journey. All who enter are rewarded with gifts and a certificate stating their level of recitation. The winners of each category are invited to attend a prestigious awards ceremony in our capital, London, where they are awarded their prize (from £100 to £10,000).

Each year the Qur’an competition tests contestants for their Hifz(memorisation) ability, this year the competition will incorporate a new element which all participants must complete. The new element will require contestants to read a small amount of information on chosen subject. On the competition, the contestants will be asked questions to reflect their understanding of the Qur’an as well as memorisation.

The competition runs every summer. We at Right Start Foundation International invite you all to enter Read & Rise.
