King Abdulaziz Quran Competition Starts
The 46th edition of the King Abdulaziz International Competition for Memorizing, Reciting, and Tafsir of the Quran achieved unprecedented success, with the participation of 334 male and female contestants from 133 countries— the highest number since its inception nearly 40 years ago. The competition aims to foster Muslims' enthusiasm for memorizing and understanding the Quran, engaging the youth in contemplating the Book of Allah, and emphasizing the importance of connecting the Islamic community with Quranic principles. The final rounds and closing ceremonies are held separately for men at the Sacred Mosque and for women at the Hilton Hotel in Mecca, reflecting a historic step that showcases the competition’s development and the expansion of international participation. Prizes amounting to over 10 million Saudi Riyals — the largest in its history — are awarded. The ministry has also completed all arrangements to receive the participants, including cultural programs and historic visits to enhance the Kingdom’s status and its role in serving the Holy Quran.
