Edinburgh Semi-Final- An Abundance of Talent in the Heart of Scotland!!

              

Assalamo Alaykum,

*In short- Nasheed Factor Edinburgh Semi-final was BUZZING...SPIRITUALLY-FULFILLING... and a CHARITY-DRIVEN day!!! Alhumdulillah!!*

Our remaining 16 semi-finalists touched the hearts of the audience in the heart of Scotland- Edinburgh. A great turnout with people attending from all over Scotland from Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee! The audience were bedazzled by the performances, such great talent from bold Qur’an recitation to the more sweet and innocent youth performing Nasheeds.

Iqra Academy was truly left spellbound by the Nasheed Factor magic bestowed on our audience.

It was so lovely to see the place packed out with many people, the ambiance was great, kids running around from stall to stall, getting face paints, eating cupcakes...participants eagerly ready to perform, doing sound checks...team members welcoming guests and directing them to the event and looking after the judges.

There were stalls from 3pm with many wonderful and creative things to buy from and yummy cupcakes and food was also available. Guests were then ushered to the event, where our host Kamran Chaudry led the Adult and Youth Qiraats.

Rizwan Mohammad was also present speaking to our audience about the cause of Nasheed Factor.

A Maghrib break was then taken for our audience to read their salaah. After the Maghrib break, Shahbaz Mirza- Nasheed Factor founder then welcomed the remaining Adult and Youth Nasheeds/Naats semi-finalists who sang beautifully from the heart.




The semi-finalists voices echoed through Iqra Academy with passers-by getting to hear the spiritual sounds of Islam.

Very positive and uplifting comments were made by our judges- Shokat Aksi, Javaid Ullah and Tahira Fatima.

Our brothers and sisters who attended the semi-final were left with a deep and meaningful message about giving to charity and helping to fulfil our vision through Islamic Relief’s One Safe Village Appeal. Videos were played to show to our audience Our cause...Their struggle....and Semi finalists voice as a means to help ‘Rebuild People’s Lives’. Alhumdulillah after hearing about the cause, many donated generously!

A remarkable and breath-taking event with many praising the competition and eagerly asking about the Grande Finale!
