The quiz served as a platform to educate and inspire participants about the rich legacy of Muslim scholars, scientists, and innovators.
The quiz offered attractive cash prizes to the top three winners: ₹5,100 for the first prize, ₹3,100 for the second, and ₹2,100 for the third. Additionally, all participants were awarded certificates of participation, making the event both rewarding and educational. The winners of the quiz were:
- 1st Position: Humera Begum
- 2nd Position: P. Raghul
- 3rd Position: Sameer Hussain
Dr. Samra Sultana, a passionate educator and content creator, shared her vision behind the initiative. She stated, “The main aim of this quiz is to educate people about the incredible inventions and contributions made by Muslims during the Golden Age. Unfortunately, much of the world remains unaware of these achievements, and through this quiz, I hope to bridge that gap.”
This was not the first time Dr. Sultana had taken such an initiative. She has previously organized two similar quizzes, both of which were met with overwhelming enthusiasm. Beyond the quiz, Dr. Sultana actively shares motivational and informational content through her YouTube channel, Dr. Samra Sultana Network.
