The Quranic event was held in the Croatian capital of Zagreb on September 26-28, 2024. 

Quran memorizer Abdul Salam Fathi al-Amrouni from Libya came first in the competition’s memorization of the entire Quran category.

He won the top title after reciting Verses 12-17 from Surah Al-Araf in the contest.

“He (Allah) asked: ‘What prevented you to prostrate, when I commanded you?’ ‘I am better than he,’ he (Satan) replied. ‘You created me of fire and You created him of clay.’

He (Allah) said: ‘Descend from it! This is no place for you to be proud. Begone, you are of the humiliated.’

He replied: ‘Respite me till the Day of Resurrection.’

Said He (Allah): ‘you are among the respited,’

He answered: 'Because You have caused me to go astray, I will waylay them as they walk on Your Straight Path,

And come upon them from the front and from the rear, from their right and from their left. Then, You shall find most of them ungrateful.’”
