The General Administration for Quran Affairs at Al-Azhar Al-Sharif is preparing to launch the second global edition of the “International Quran Recitation Day” initiative on August 30, with the participation of tens of thousands inside and outside Egypt. This event is held under the generous patronage of His Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, as a global celebration of Quran recitation. Numerous entities participate including private Quran memorization offices supervised by Al-Azhar, 202 government Al-Azhar institutes, 66 private institutes across 9 governorates, the World Organization of Al-Azhar Graduates, the Islamic Research Complex, Al-Azhar’s preaching regions, the Islamic Propagation City, Al-Azhar University, the Kindergarten Administration, and Islamic institutions worldwide. Al-Azhar institutes abroad also participate in countries such as Indonesia, Nigeria, Uganda, Somalia, Iraq, South Africa, Chad, Niger, and Tanzania. To date, 85,784 participants have registered from Egypt and abroad.
This global edition follows the great success of last year’s event, which saw the entire Quran recited in one session in a historic event in Egypt. This year, participation has expanded to include countries worldwide, making the voice of Quranic recitation resonate globally at the same time. The General Administration for Quran Affairs invites all students of Al-Azhar institutes, Quran memorization offices, and individuals inside and outside Egypt to join this blessed initiative aimed at reviving the greatness of the Quran in hearts, training tongues in recitation, and connecting hearts to the words of Allah Almighty.
