The Istanbul Mufti's Office organized the 'Bilgilig Football Tournament' with the slogan 'Stay away from addiction, stay close to life' to raise awareness about addiction among youth. The tournament, held at the Üsküdar Çengelköy Sports Club facilities, was attended by students from summer Quran courses in 16 districts.
Speaking at the event, Istanbul Deputy Mufti Mehmet Aksoy wished all students success, stating that there would be no losers in the tournament. Emphasizing that students at summer Quran courses do not only receive religious education, Aksoy said, 'Our Quran courses do not only teach the Holy Quran. They also raise young people who engage in sports and live healthy lives.'
Bilgin Ekşi, the Provincial Coordinator for Combating Addiction at the Istanbul Provincial Mufti's Office, noted that the tournament was organized in a different format that centers on knowledge and morality in addition to sports.
