Qur’an memorization charity celebrates graduation of 185 female students in Eastern Province

Under the patronage of Princess Abeer bint Faisal bin Turki Al Saud, wife of the Governor of the Eastern Province, the Eastern Province Qur’an Memorization Charity held its ninth 'Ijlal' ceremony to celebrate the 32nd graduating class of female Qur’an memorizers. The event honored 185 women from various cities, towns, and villages across the Eastern Province who completed memorizing the entire Holy Qur’an. The ceremony took place on Monday, November 9, 2026 (corresponding to 29 Jumada Al-Awwal 1448 AH), at Al-Noor Hall in the Al-Faisaliah district of Dammam.

The program featured eloquent segments highlighting Saudi Arabia’s efforts to serve the Holy Qur’an and support its memorizers, as well as the blessings and positive impact of the Qur’an on individuals and society.

The ceremony showcased exceptional examples of the Qur’an’s influence within families, including a mother graduating alongside her three daughters, another mother with her daughter, and four sisters who completed memorization together. The ages of the graduates ranged from 11 to 72, reflecting the widespread dedication to the Qur’an across generations and age groups.

The graduates expressed their joy and pride at completing their memorization, emphasizing that this achievement motivates them to continue learning and applying the teachings of the Holy Qur’an.

At the conclusion of the event, the wife of the chairman of the charity’s board honored the graduates, supporting organizations, and businesswomen in recognition of this achievement and in appreciation of their contributions to the charity’s mission of teaching the Holy Qur’an.

The charity also presented a commemorative shield to Princess Abeer bint Faisal bin Turki Al Saud in gratitude for her ongoing support, which was received on her behalf by Lulwa bint Awad Al-Shammari, Secretary-General of the Eastern Province Council for Social Responsibility.

The Eastern Province Qur’an Memorization Charity continues its efforts to serve and teach the Holy Qur’an to all segments of society, encouraging boys and girls to memorize and master it, in line with its vision to be a leading institution in Qur’an education with quality and excellence.
