Al-Anzi: Women's Department in Quran Competition a historic move
The 46th edition of the King Abdulaziz International Competition for Memorization, Recitation, and Interpretation of the Qur'an featured a new category for female contestants for the first time in its history, following the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz. This step reflects the Kingdom's interest in empowering women and enabling their participation in international Qur'anic events. A total of 132 female contestants from 133 countries participated, demonstrating excellent levels of Qur'an memorization and recitation, with high praise from the female judging panels for the contestants' performance. The introduction of the women's category embodies the Kingdom's vision in serving the Book of Allah and underscores the ongoing development of the competition, which is considered one of the world's most prominent, within the framework of efforts to enhance the Kingdom's role in serving the Holy Qur'an and Islamic propagation.
