Thousands of Muslim Children in Bulgaria Join Summer Quran Courses to Strengthen Islamic Identity
—————————————————-
Thousands of Muslim children across Bulgaria are participating in summer Quran courses organised annually by the Bulgarian Muslim Religious Authority, as part of efforts to promote religious education and strengthen Islamic identity among younger generations.

According to the platform “Muslims Around the World,” the programmes are among the main educational and religious activities supervised by the Bulgarian Mufti’s Office. They provide children with opportunities to learn Quran recitation and memorisation, along with basic Islamic beliefs, ethics and values.

The courses are held during the summer holiday at dozens of mosques and religious centres across Bulgarian cities and towns, targeting different age groups under the supervision of qualified teachers and educators.

Organisers say the programmes go beyond Quran education by helping children develop their character and maintain a connection with their religious and cultural identity, particularly amid challenges faced by Muslim minorities in European societies.

The summer Quran courses represent the largest annual educational initiative organised by the Bulgarian Muslim Religious Authority and continue to attract strong participation from Muslim families seeking to provide their children with religious knowledge during the school break.
