Saudi Arabia Delivers Qur’an Copies in 80 Languages to International Pilgrims

JEDDAH: The Ministry of Islamic Affairs has begun distributing King Salman’s gift of the Holy Qur’an and its translated editions to departing pilgrims and seasonal field workers.

Saudi Arabia has begun distributing copies of the Holy Qur’an and its translated editions to departing Hajj pilgrims as part of the annual gift from King Salman bin Abdulaziz. The initiative is being carried out at airports and other departure points across the Kingdom, including King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, ensuring that pilgrims receive the sacred gift before returning to their home countries.

Minister of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance Sheikh Abdullatif Al Alsheikh highlighted that the gift reflects the leadership’s dedication to spreading the message of the Holy Quran globally. He noted that the ministry has fully mobilized its logistical and human resources to ensure the distribution is seamless, efficient, and readily accessible to all departing pilgrims.
