On behalf of Bashundhara Shuvosangho, we have always been working to build an ideal society enlightened by the teachings of the Qur’an, and we will continue such activities in the future as well.”

He further said, “Through competitions, children, adolescents, and youths will develop greater interest in Qur’anic education and become more deeply connected with Islamic culture. This will play a positive role in promoting morality, harmony, and human values in society.”
