Muscat: The Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs today held a ceremony marking the conclusion of the preliminary qualifying rounds of the Holy Quran Memorization Competition titled “Fastamsik” (Hold Fast), with the participation of around 170 male and female contestants from various age groups.
The competition aims to enhance care and attention devoted to the Holy Quran, support Quranic schools as centers of knowledge and faith, and highlight the role of endowment institutions and their contributions to serving the Holy Quran.
