Bangladesh’s T.K. Group has announced the second season of its Quran recitation reality show, Pusti Verses of Light, scheduled to air during the holy month of Ramadan in 2026.

The announcement was made on Sunday at a press conference held at the Pan Pacific Sonargaon Hotel in Dhaka, with company executives, Islamic scholars and media representatives in attendance.

Speaking at the event, the Business Director of T.K. Group, Mohammad Mofassel Haque, said the programme is designed to give young Hafiz boys and girls across Bangladesh a national platform to showcase their Quran recitation skills.

He said the company expects Season 2 to attract wider interest than the first edition and reaffirmed T.K. Group’s commitment to promoting the learning and appreciation of the Holy Quran through the initiative.

Also speaking, Director of Human Resources at T.K. Group, Almas Raisul Ghani, described the programme as part of the group’s broader social responsibility, noting that it remains one of its most significant contributions to Islamic values.

Internationally renowned Qari and chief judge of the competition, Sheikh Ahmad bin Yusuf Al-Azhari, praised the project, saying it encourages children and young people to deepen their connection with the Holy Quran.

According to organisers, talented Hafiz from across the country will take part in regional auditions, with selected contestants progressing to the main competition after assessments by qualified judges and scholars.

The nationwide auditions will begin on December 22, 2025, while the main show will be broadcast daily throughout Ramadan from 5:00 pm until just before Maghrib on Channel Nine.
