Over Half A Million Copies of Quran Distributed among Mosques in Mecca, Suburbs
It noted that the copies have been printed by the Medina-based King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex, makkahnewspaper.com reported.
They contain translations of the Quran in different lanaguges as well, the ministry said.
The Nimrah Mosque in Arafat, Mash’ar al-Haram Mosque in Muzdalifah, Al-Khaif Mosque in Mina, and other mosques on the path of Hajj pilgrims have received the copies.
The move is aimed at facilitating the Hajj pilgrims’ access to what they need to carry out the rituals.
Also 80,000 copies of the Holy Book have been placed on shelves at the Grand Mosque in Mecca.
All Hajj pilgrims will also receive a copy of the Quran as a gift.
One million Muslim pilgrims from different countries have converged on Mecca for the largest Hajj since the coronavirus pandemic severely curtailed access to one of Islam’s pillars.
The Hajj rituals began in the holy city on Thursday.
