TEHRAN (IQNA) – The 25th Prince Sultan bin Salman Contest for Memorization of the Holy Quran for children with disabilities concluded in Saudi Arabia with 34 winners.

 

Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz, who is president of the Disabled Children’s Association, congratulated the winners, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.

Prince Sultan explained that the competition had enjoyed a distinguished presence at a local and international level over 25 years, with about 2,600 children taking part.

The competition’s next phase would see great development in light of the achievements made in previous years, he added.
