More than 500 male and female memorizers from Gaza Strip began reciting the Holy Quran at one session, under the name of “the Elite of Memorizers”, at the initiative of the Dar Al-Quran and Sunnah, in a first-of-its-kind event.

The event comes as a means of reinforcing the values and principles of the Quran, which provides the nation with its constitution and approach.

“We have designated this day every year to be a day to narrate and recite the entire book from morning until evening, and next year there will be a greater number of people taking part, God willing,” said Bilal Imad, who heads the Dar Al Quran and Sunnah which organized the unique event.

”We have received letters of thanks and gratitude from different countries from across the Islamic world, and this is a message also about the sanctity and loftiness of this book so that it should not be insulted … and it shows the status of this book among Muslims,” Imad added. (ILKHA)
