“I have been preparing for this competition for two months. In one day, I would recite five Juzuks from the Al-Quran, which took five to six hours a day.
“In the competition, we will be given three questions and we will be reciting for 15-30 minutes. Insya Allah, I will try my best in this competition,” he said.
