Maldives to Establish Quran Center Branches in All Islands
President Mohamed Muizzu said they will be set up within the remaining years of his administration.
He said facilities would be developed according to each island’s population size, available land, and existing infrastructure.
“There are also very sparsely populated islands and those with space constraints. So I have spoken about this with those realities in mind,” he said.
Highlighting that Islamic University campuses have already been set up across the country, Muizzu stressed the government’s commitment to advancing Islamic education.
“We want to increase Islamic learning and teach Islam strongly in connection with modern times. We don’t need to look elsewhere for this, Islam is the solution. That is why this government prioritizes teaching Islam as it is,” he said.
The president of Maldives also revealed that land has been allocated to the Ministry of Islamic Affairs for the construction of a dedicated Waqf building for Quran. The facility, to be developed with government support, will provide a range of religious services.
