Quran in Amazigh Unveiled in Algeria
The program, held on February 19, was attended by a large number of imams of mosques, scholars and intellectuals from all over the country.
The translation of the Divine Book into Amazigh language was done under the supervision of Sa’eed Bouziri, a professor of theology and Quran interpretation at the Tizi Ouzou University in Algeria.
Al-Qabail region in the northeast of the country has the most number of mosques in Algeria, but many people of the region do not speak the Arabic language.
So far the Algerian people were using the Quran copy in Amazigh which had been translated in Saudi Arabia, but now they are provided with a translation of the Holy Book done by an Algerian.
Berber or the Amazigh languages or dialects are a family of similar and closely related languages and dialects indigenous to North Africa.
They are spoken by large populations in Algeria and Morocco, and by smaller populations in Libya, Tunisia, northern Mali, western and northern Niger, northern Burkina Faso, Mauritania, and in the Siwa Oasis of Egypt.
