New Zealand hosts 1st Quran Exhibition in Masterton to foster religious understanding

Masterton, New Zealand, launched its first Quran exhibition on Saturday, November 2, 2024, organized by the Muslim community to promote interfaith understanding and address misconceptions about Islam.

The exhibition offers visitors deeper insight into Islam through various displays and translations of the Holy Quran, including one in Te Reo Māori, New Zealand’s indigenous language.

Organizers hope the event will serve as a platform for dialogue and mutual understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims in New Zealand, helping clarify Islamic values and counter negative stereotypes.
