AhlulBayt News Agency: More than 10,000 memorizers of Surah Al-Hujurat gathered in Iraq’s Anbar Province on Saturday to participate in the third edition of the Ajyal al-Quran (Generations of the Quran) competition.
The large-scale event, held at a stadium in Anbar on April 19, was described by local media as one of the most significant Quranic gatherings ever held in the country.
According to Alsumaria News, the gathering featured collective recitation and a Quranic competition focused on Surah Al-Hujurat.
Omar Mashaan Dabbous, head of the Anbar Provincial Council and one of the event’s supervisors, said the Quran should not be seen only as a source of religious celebration but also as a framework for building communities and guiding human development.
“The Quran is not just a program for ceremonies and celebrations; it is a project for shaping nations and building human beings,” Dabbous stated during his speech.
The event also included congregational prayer. As part of the closing ceremony, 110 participants were randomly selected to receive free Umrah pilgrimage packages to Mecca.
