The Russian citizen Bilal Abdulkhalikov, who took part in the International Quran Recitation contest on behalf of Russia (the Dagestan Republic), was chosen the second after the winner from Saudi Arabia.
Bilyal Abdulkhalikov participated in the Contest by the assignment of the Russian Muftis Council.
We are proud and happy for Bilyal Abdulkhalikov. His achievement proves that the Russian schools preparing Quran reciters have acquired a new lease of life.
We thank Allah the Almighty for this joyful news in the Holy month of Ramadhan. We pray that our hafizs keep achieveng new goals at the international scale, representing all Russian Muslims.
It should be noted that Bilyal Abdulkhalikov took the first place at the International Quran recitation contest in Bahrain earlier and read the Qur’an at the opening ceremony of the Moscow Cathedral Mosque last September.
