The Echo of Bilal: IQRA Adhan Competition
The IQRA Adhan Competition is a unique opportunity for Muslims of all ages to showcase the beauty of the Adhan while strengthening their confidence, pronunciation, and connection to this timeless act of worship. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced caller to prayer, this competition invites you to recite the complete Adhan with clarity, excellence, and sincerity for the sake of Allah.
The Main Objective
At IQRA, we believe learning the Qur’an is more than a course — it’s a lifelong journey. This competition aims to:
Motivate students to bring their best in memorization, tajweed, and recitation
Foster confidence, discipline, and love for Qur’an within our global community.
Celebrate excellence: highlight students who work diligently and sincerely with their parents’ support.
Strengthen brotherhood/sisterhood
— let’s grow together in a spirit of respect, humility, and encouragement.
How It Works
The IQRA Adhan Competition takes place in two exciting rounds, combining expert evaluation with community engagement.
The First Round
Video Submissions
Record and submit a video of yourself reciting the complete Adhan. All entries will be reviewed by a panel of qualified judges, who will evaluate participants based on pronunciation, accuracy, melody, and overall delivery. The highest-scoring contestants from each category will advance to the final round.
The Second Round
Community Voting
The finalists will be featured for public voting, where family, friends, and the wider community can support their favorite recitations. The participants receiving the most votes in each category will be crowned the winners of the IQRA Adhan Competition.
