Major Quran Distribution Campaign Launched in Mecca

IQNA – The religious affairs authority of the Grand Mosque in Mecca has launched what it describes as the largest campaign to distribute copies of the Quran and its translations in multiple languages.

According to Sabq, a Saudi electronic newspaper, the campaign includes the distribution of Quran copies, Islamic interpretations, prayer mats, umbrellas, and CDs containing Quranic texts and recitations.

Materials will be made available to pilgrims at airports and train stations in Mecca.

The initiative is led by Sheikh Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, President of Religious Affairs for the Grand Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina. He stated that the campaign aims to promote what he called a message of moderation and to expand services for pilgrims, Umrah performers, and visitors.

The materials being distributed include translated copies of the Quran published by the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran. Additional resources include informational booklets, guidance materials, and educational texts covering themes such as Hajj and Umrah rituals.

The timing of the campaign coincides with preparations for the upcoming Hajj season, during which millions of Muslims are expected to travel to Mecca.
