In the adhan track, Rayan Hawsawi, a Nigerian who resides in Makkah , participated in the competition. Hawsawi has a good voice and imitates the muazzins of the Grand Mosque in Makkah skillfully. He, like other contestants, dreams of reaching the final of the competition. The electrical engineer Tariq Deeb from Syria also participated in the same track. Deeb started raising adhan in some mosques in his country from a young age. However, he lost to his Nigerian rival, Hawsawi, who qualified for the next stage of the competition.
