6,000 Qurans to Be Distributed among Participants in Egypt Quranic Plan
The country’s Awqaf ministry will distribute 6,000 copies of the Holy Book among the participants in the plan, which includes correcting errors made by people when reciting the Quran.
The ministry said they copies will be handed out in December in the mosque hosting the initiative.
The move is aimed at encouraging people who take part in this plan or Quran recitation circles in mosques, it added.
Dubbed “Correct Your Recitation”, the initiative is held in a number of major mosques in different cities of Egypt.
Ten mosques host the implementation of the program, with the first one held at the Sayyidah Zaynab Mosque in Cairo last Thursday.
It includes recitation of one-fourth of a Hizb (part of the Quran) by a senior qari or the imam of the mosque with the listeners repeating the verses after him.

Muslims account for around 90 percent of the country’s total population.
Quranic activities are very common in the Muslim-majority Arab country and many of the Muslim world’s top qaris in the past and present have been Egyptian.
