A 26-year-old religious scholar has been chosen as the winner of a Malaysian TV talent show searching for a top young imam, or Muslim leader.
In Friday’s live TV final, Muhammad Asyraf saw off the last of nine other contestants vying to win Young Imam.
He had survived 10 weeks of written and practical tests, which included reciting Koran verses, washing a dead body for burial and slaughtering sheep.
