The Quran recitation competition held in Kazan amazed not only ordinary spectators, but also the jury, says Ilnur Vafin, imam-khatib of the Ravza mosque. According to him, the competition was held for the second year in a row, and the participants have achieved great success over the year. For example, those who memorized 10 surahs last year have now managed to memorize half of the 30 surahs, and some have even managed to memorize the entire surah.
