Jordan Launches 20th International Quran Competition for Women

The 20th edition of Jordan’s International Quran Competition for Women began on Saturday in the capital, Amman. The event inaugurated by Jordan’s Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Mohammad Al-Khalayleh.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Al-Khalayleh said Jordan is committed to Quranic education. “Jordan has given special attention to the Holy Quran through Quranic centers across the country and by organizing and participating in local and international competitions,” he stated, as quoted by local media.

He said the event aimed to strengthen young Muslim women’s connection to the Quran, not only through recitation but also as a guiding way of life.

Al-Khalayleh further stressed the need for a deep and accurate understanding of the Quran’s teachings. He noted that this understanding should positively influence the behavior of Muslims and help promote values such as justice, tolerance, and compassion.

“The Quran calls for promoting good and preventing wrongdoing, and contributes to the preservation of security and stability in society,” he said.
