TEHRAN (IQNA) – Egyptian Ministry of Awqaf (Endowments) has planned to hold a special Quranic circle at Imam Hussein (AS) Mosque in Cairo on October 8.

 

According to Egyptian media, the session will start at 9:30 AM local time and is in the framework of the Ministry’s efforts to bring prominent qaris to mosques across the country so as to revive the role of mosques.

Sheikh Mohamed Mahmoud Al Khasht, Sheikh Muhammad Taha al-Numani, Sheikh Ahmed Tamim al-Maraghi, Sheikh Mohamed Fathullah Bibris, and Sheikh Fathi Abdul Mun’im Khalif are among the prominent qaris who are set to attend the Quranic circle which is open to the public.

The first session of such circles was held in late July at Al-Rahma Mosque and was also attended by the Egyptian Minister of Awqaf.

Egypt is a country in North Africa with a population of around 100 million.

Muslims account for around 90 percent of the country’s total population.

Quranic activities are very common in the Muslim-majority Arab country and many of the Muslim world’s top qaris in the past and present have been Egyptian.

Over the past decades, Egyptian qaris have always played a major role in the art of Quran recitation in the world.
