The celebration agenda started with some verses from the Holy Quran, followed by a documentary on the most significant achievements of the Al Ber Quran Memorisation project.

H.E. Khalfan Khalifa Al Mazrouie, Chairman of Dar AL Ber Society, said, in a speech delivered by Imran Mohammed Abdullah, head of charity projects sector, that the project is one of the key schemes of Dar Al Ber Society.

“Our competent staff Quran memorisation offered classes for free under the project, and fulfil all the students’ needs of Quran copies, books, pencils, and notebooks.”

Students go through intensive learning sessions to master the Holy Quran memorisation and recitation as due, he added. “Students with excellent performance have had precious chances to participate in so many local and international competitions.”

Adding, he said Dar Al Ber also runs a special trip for listed students to encourage them to learn the Quran. “Regular celebrations are organised as well to honour brilliant memorisers.”

So far this year, students of the Al Ber Quran Memorisation Project, have participated in seven international Quran contests, he pointed out. “We are really proud of their exceptional achievements, as was the case in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan Quran awards in which our students seized advanced ranks.”

H.E. Al Mazroui said Dar Al Ber spares no effort to bring happiness to everybody as instructed in the holy Quran. “Real happiness does not only come with money, power or fame. It is rather in inner peace and satisfaction which may only be achieved through heart purification.”

Meanwhile, Khalid Sultan-al-Ulama, manager of the Al Ber Quran Memorisation Project, shed light on the relentless effort of the Program staffers all the year round in the service of the Holy Quran. “Such unique dedication has resulted in many advanced positions locally, regionally and worldwide.”
