Ramadan is a time of giving, a time of peace and prayer, and a month where reciting and reflecting on the words of the Quran holds a special significance.

MAX is excited to host the 3rd Annual Quran Recitation Competition. The ultimate goal of this event is to improve familiarity with our holy book, and encourage Muslim youth from across Canada to connect with the Quran during Ramadan.

There is a total of CAD $8,000 in cash prizes to be won!
