MADINAH: The first group in the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ Program for Hajj, Umrah, and Visit has toured the King Fahd Glorious Qur’an Printing Complex in Madinah.
The 250 pilgrims from 16 Asian regions looked at the facility and learned about its high-precision printing, translation, and global distribution processes.
The complex presented the guests with copies of the Holy Qur’an and translations of its meanings following the visit.
The guests thanked the Saudi leadership for serving Islam and praised the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance for organizing the educational tour. They also expressed gratitude to the leadership for the services and care provided throughout the visit.
