Dr Muhammad Al Muhairi said that Dar Al Ber attaches special and exceptional importance to memorizing the Holy Qur’an, supporting, caring for, and qualifying its memorizers and those who are about to memorize it, and honing their skills in its recitation and various sciences related to the Book of Allah, Blessed and Most High, while the Society seeks to develop the sector of memorizing the Qur’an, by harnessing modern technologies and smart services and activating the concepts of creativity and innovation.

Al Muhairi stressed the importance of educating young people and successive generations, the people of the UAE and those residing in its land, on the values and morals of the Qur’an, in light of its effective and fruitful role in establishing moderation, tolerance, education and behavioural correction, confronting abnormal morals, negative behaviours and social ills, and promoting community solidarity and national cohesion.
