Congratulations, Hafiz Takrim!

Saleh Ahmad Takrim, a 13-year-old Bangladeshi, has recently secured third position in the 42nd King Abdul Aziz International Hifzul Qur'an Competition held in Makkah of Saudi Arabia. A total of 153 participants from 111 countries took part in the competition and a jury of experts selected him as one of the winners. Takrim's win has already touched many of us. And he is being praised on social media for his beautiful voice and recitation of Qur'an.

Takrim is a prolific Qari of Qur'an. He started participating in various national and international competitions from since his early childhood and has been the recipient of numerous awards. He bagged the first place in the 38th International Hifzul Qur'an Competition in Iran's Tehran. Right now, he is a student of Quran Al Islami Madrasa in Dhaka. His father is a madrasa teacher and mother a homemaker. We hope this young Qur'an reciter will be nurtured with care and bring more honour to his dountry.
