KABUL(PAN): Up to 4,500 people have registered for participation in a quiz show on religion and politics, to be held shortly in Kabul, an official said.
The competition is being organised by the Afghan Society for Social Reforms and Development (ASSRD) in collaboration with the Zikrullah Zada Tourism Company, Afghan Islamic Welfare Trust and Usman Umar Trade Firm.
ASSRD spokesman Ahmad Zia Rahimzai told Pajhwok Afghan News the quiz was aimed at enlightening the youth with Islamic history and education, an effort launched on September 23. So far 4,500 people, including women, have registered for the contest.
He said they had distributed question papers -- each carrying 1000 questions -- to applicants who would have to answer at least 100 queries to qualify for participation in the event.
Rahimzai added 60 successful contestants would be awarded prizes, with the topper being paid hajj and umra expenses. The runner-up will be given laptop. Twenty top scorers will also receive computers.
Lailuma, a Kabul University student who seeks to participate in the quiz, said she had learnt such things as she never came across over the last 12 years.
Another applicant, Abdul Hakim, a resident of Kabul, confirmed receiving the questions a week ago. He said the questions helped him learn many new things.
