“By the time I was in first grade, I was calling the adhan and reading the Quran at the mosque where my father worked,” he said. For Sizcan and others in his field, the art of Quranic recitation is more than a skill—it’s a deeply spiritual practice intertwined with tradition.Muhammed Sizcan expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to compete internationally, saying, “This year’s competition was a truly enriching experience, surrounded by the sound of the Quran in a warm and friendly environment.”
