IIB Concludes 2026 Ramadhan Youth Book Competition Finals Across All Bureaus
The Islamic Information Bureau (IIB) has successfully concluded the finals of its 2026 Ramadhan Youth Book Competition across all six bureaus in Malawi, Limbe, Mzuzu, Lilongwe, Balaka, Mangochi, and Ndirande, after running the competition throughout the entire month of Ramadan. The month-long contest challenged young participants nationwide to engage deeply with the book “My Love for Jesus Led Me to Islam.”
At the Limbe bureau, Shameem Kachingwe emerged as the overall winner, taking home K100,000 and a collection of assorted Islamic books. Ahmed Louis secured second place with K75,000 and books, while Muhammad Mahmood finished third, receiving K50,000 along with reading materials. Similar competitions at the other bureaus also recognized outstanding participants with cash prizes and Islamic literature for their knowledge, critical thinking, and understanding of the book’s themes.
The initiative not only promoted youth engagement, knowledge, and critical thinking but also focused on building strong relationships with young people and inculcating a culture of reading among them. By combining faith-based learning with interactive competition, the IIB continues to nurture informed, spiritually grounded, and motivated youth across Malawi.
