750 Quran memorization students graduate in Turkey

 The state of Konya, in central Turkey, witnessed the organization of a majestic ceremony for the graduation of a new batch of memorizers of the Noble Quran, with official, governmental and religious participation.

In his speech during the graduation ceremony held on the occasion, the Turkish Head of Religious Affairs, Professor Ali Erbash, cited the noble hadith of the Prophet, saying, “The Messenger of God, peace be upon him and his progeny, said “The best of you is he who learns the Quran and teaches it, and you here have learned the Quran and will teach it to others.”

He continued, “The Quran is the greatest miracle sent to earth, and God sent it to bring people out of darkness into light. It is the greatest miracle of the Messenger, peace be upon him and his progeny, and the main source of Islam.”

The ceremony concluded with honoring over 750 memorizers (400 male and 350 female) of the Noble Quran.
