The 13th Libya International Holy Quran Award is currently underway in Benghazi, drawing participants from over 70 countries. The event, described as a significant religious and cultural gathering, brings together elite Quran memorizers to compete in an atmosphere of faith, brotherhood, and peace.

According to a report by the International Quran News Agency (IQNA), the competition highlights the Libyan state’s commitment to supporting religious activities, even as the country remains politically divided since the 2011 civil war.
