Strength in Every Verse
Mike, from our Editorial team, takes part in Quranic competitions multiple times a year as a way to grow and improve. This is his story:
Alhamdulillah—I’m deeply grateful to have secured 2nd place in the Tilawah (male) category of the MSU Quranic League, which began earlier this year and concluded with the finals on March 20, followed by the closing ceremony on March 21, 2025.
This achievement holds special meaning for me, particularly as I was grappling with serious voice challenges at the time. Despite the obstacles, I gave it my all and am proud of my Quranic recitation in the taranum style.

Mansur’s Light: Inspiring Beyond Sight
Mansur, a young boy from Almaty, Kazakhstan, is proving that true vision comes from the heart. Although visually impaired, he memorises Quran surahs, studies the Arabic alphabet using the Braille Primer with his teacher, Ustaz Askar, and excels in school. His love for sports and the outdoors shines through, too.
Inspired by his resilience, his parents founded a centre for visually impaired children, offering them the same opportunities. Mansur is a powerful reminder that determination knows no limits. 🌟
May Allah guide and bless us all. 🤲🏻 🌟
