According to the Dar-ol-Quran’s website, the educational program, which was held online due to the coronavirus restrictions, was attended by teenagers aged 9 to 15.
Quran memorization, recitation principles and Quranic concepts were the themes of the course, which also included weekly Quran competitions.
Montadhar Al-Mansouri, an official with the Astan, said that despite the changes made in teaching methods this year, the course was successfully held for one month.
He added that 1560 girls and boys from 16 countries including Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Oman, the UAE, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Australia, the US, and Nigeria, took the course.
