Bhatkal: Online Naat Contest announced by Fikrokhabar

Bhatkal: 05 September 2025 (Bhatkallys News Bureau) The news portal Fikrokhabar has announced an Online Naat Competition 2025 for children from coastal Karnataka, marking the occasion of Rabi al-Awwal, the month that commemorates the birth of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

The organisers said the programme has been launched with the aim of offering a platform to children to recite Naats and showcase their devotion in a creative manner. By adopting the digital format, the competition makes it possible for a larger number of families to take part without geographical barriers.

Participation is open for boys up to the age of 13 years and girls up to the age of 8 years. Contestants are required to record and submit their Naat recitation videos, which should not be longer than three minutes. Entries can be sent through the Google Form link made available by the organisers.

Describing the importance of the contest, the organisers said that the initiative goes beyond being a cultural activity. It is an opportunity for children to understand the teachings of the Prophet more closely, develop their confidence in public expression, and present their memorised verses before a wider community.

Parents and guardians have been encouraged to enrol their children at the earliest. Details regarding deadlines, judging criteria and prizes are available with the event coordinators, who can be contacted on +91 9916131111, +91 9620573395 or +91 9108080800.
