Summer Quranic Programs Warmly Received by Egyptian Students

IQNA – School students in Egypt have warmly received the special Quranic programs slated to be held in summer.

For the second year in a row, a large number of students have gone to mosques with their parents to sign up for the Quranic courses, officials said. 

The Quran memorization courses have been the most popular among eh students, they said, according to Al-Watan daily.

The Quranic programs will be held twice a day in mosques across Egypt during the summer holidays.

They are organized by the country’s Awqaf ministry, which has designed and implemented many Quranic programs for children and teenagers in recent years.

Meanwhile, many children in villages and rural areas learn the Quran at Maktabs (traditional Quran schools).

Egypt is a country in North Africa with a population of around 100 million.

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.
