Creative Writing Competition

Students write a story or a sketch that could be read in a Muslim home. Islamic Center Information Hub asks for imagination with a boundary: no vulgarity, no mockery of the deen, no copied film plot with Islamic names stuck on.

Teachers comment on language, structure, and honesty of feeling. English, Urdu, and Hindi may be allowed as announced so a child is not locked out by medium.

This is part of our wider writing culture — journalism workshop, essays, baitbaazi. A writer from Firozabad should be able to create without leaving the Qur’an at the door.
