He needed to read it, learn the rules of its intonation, and reach levels he had not dreamed of reaching before. And he reached that level when he found himself in the semifinals of the competition.

His presence in the semifinal round is considered a new awakening for him after his brother’s recovery from a coma.

Muhammad Nour Ibrahim had taken refuge in the Qur’an, using it as a sanctuary for everything he faced in his career.

His effort culminated in obtaining a number of advanced positions in the Qur’an competitions in Taif Governorate, Saudi Arabia, in addition to his academic specialization in business administration.

Today’s episode of Otr Elkalam show, one of the initiatives of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), witnessed Muhammad Nour Ibrahim competing with the Saudi contestant Abdulaziz Al-Faqih, who was the first to step into the final of the competition, which is the largest of its kind in the world.

The Adhan qualifiers witnessed the qualification of the Saudi muezzin Muhammad Al Sharif against the British contestant, Muhammad Hafez Al-Rahman, in competition that was characterized by accuracy, closeness, and the presence of many colors of melodious voices.

Otr Elkalam is considered the largest competition show for the Qur’an of its kind in the world, in addition to being the first show that combines competitions for recitation of the Holy Qur’an and raising the Adhan, and has the largest international awards of its kind, as its total prizes exceed SR12 million.
