They were between six and 18 years old.

The organisers wanted children to learn about good behaviour and helping others.

Quotes

Asif Hussain Sohail

Sponsor of the Seerah quiz prize fund

“A mosque should not only be a place of worship but also a centre of learning, character-building, youth engagement and service to humanity. The Seerah teaches us that worship must be reflected in our character and our service to people. We want to inspire children to learn, develop good character and become responsible members of society.”
