An official with the Russian Council of Muftis said his country is ready to host the sixth edition of the International Quran Competition for Muslim Students.

Andar Galiov, the director of the council’s international department, said that such a Quranic event could help promote university students’ activities in Quranic fields like Quran memorization, recitation and concepts.

He said a proposal has been made to the Iranian Academics’ Quranic Activities Organization (IAQAO) for holding the contest in Moscow or another Russian city and that talks about the issue are going on.

 

 

The sixth edition of the International Quran Competition for Muslim Students had been planned to be held in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad but was later called off due to interference with the programmes of the Mashhad, 2017 Cultural Capital of Islamic World. (AhlulBayt News Agency)
