The Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance in Saudi Arabia began distributing two million copies of the Qur’an. The copies are being given out as a present from King Salman to pilgrims who are returning to their home countries following the annual Hajj pilgrimage, which began this week and ended this week.
The journey began at King Abdulaziz International Airport and completed at Jeddah Islamic Port, as well as other land and airports. King Abdulaziz International Airport is the largest airport in Saudi Arabia. In addition, gift copies are being given out by the Ministry to public servants who were on duty throughout the Hajj season in this year.

This endeavor to distribute copies of the Qur’an comes as part of the directions given by the king, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been in charge of overseeing the project.
