Hawzah News Agency- H.E. Ahmed Darwish Al Muhairi, Director General of the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai International Quran Award, emphasized that this vision also aims to position Dubai as a global hub for celebrating Quranic excellence — honoring distinguished reciters, scholars, and institutions dedicated to the service of the Holy Quran.
He added that this record-breaking participation is the result of qualitative developments introduced in the 28th edition, in particular the introduction of a dedicated section for women participants for the first time, which allows for direct nominations of individuals in addition to the traditional nominations by the participating country or a recognized Islamic center.
Ibrahim Jassim Al Mansouri, Executive Director of the Dubai International Holy Quran Award, said: this level of global interest is in line with the objectives of the award’s new development vision, a vision through which Dubai aims to expand its influential role in serving the Holy Quran, promoting its memorization, encouraging excellence in recitation and understanding of its sciences, and instilling its values and teachings among the younger generation.
The Dubai International Holy Quran Award received 5,816 applications during the registration period, which ran from May 21 to July 20. Of these, 30% were submitted under the female category.
Qualified applicants from the preliminary round will move to the second stage, which will involve direct video calls between the memorizers and the evaluation committee. This phase will run from September 1 to 30. Finalists will then advance to the final evaluation round, which will take place in person in Dubai during the second week of Ramadan.
