Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs is set to host the International Qirat Competition (IQC-2025) in Islamabad from November 24 to 29, bringing together more than 34 Qaris from OIC member countries. The event will take place at the NUML Auditorium, with the grand prize ceremony scheduled at the Jinnah Convention Center.
The competition aims to celebrate and promote the art of Qur’anic recitation, foster cultural exchange, and strengthen interfaith harmony. It also provides a platform to highlight Pakistan’s rich religious and cultural heritage on an international stage.
State-level dignitaries are expected to attend and preside over the sessions, reflecting Pakistan’s growing role in religious diplomacy and its efforts to build strong cultural and spiritual ties across the Muslim world.
