IslamChannel is launching its Model Mosque 2008 show to find the best Mosque in the United Kingdom. Each week two Mosques will battle it out and qualify for each heat which will lead to a two mosque final at the final at the Global Peace and Unity 2008.

MyAdhan will provide the SMS text message voting platform to allow viewers the ability to vote for their Mosque to help progress it to the final.

“Model Mosque is a national competition to find the best mosque in the UK. The ultimate aims of the show are to improve standards within UK mosques and to share best practice amongst mosques. The show has nothing to do with the size, layout or architecture of a mosque. It has everything to do with the services the mosque provides for its local community and how well the mosque manages relations with the local host community”.

MyAdhan is also powering the SMS text voting for the National Qir’aat Competition which will also hold it’s finals at Global Peace and Unity 2008. The competition is now in it’s third year and has gained popular status amongst younger viewers who aspire to read the Quran like some of the contestants.

The National Qiraat Competition is a competition on Islam Channel where viewers under the age of 16 are encouraged to recite their favorite verses of the Quran which is judged by a panel of Imam’s. The Imams score on Tarteel, Tajweed and knowledge of the Quran. The season starts with general phone callers and then on to studio recitation, leading to the final at the Global Peace and Unity Event.
