Saudi Arabia has launched a large-scale initiative to distribute copies of the Holy Qur’an translated into 80 different languages to pilgrims departing after completing Hajj.
The program aims to help pilgrims take home a deeper understanding of Islamic teachings and share the message of the Qur’an with communities around the world in their native languages.
Millions of Pilgrims Benefit from Initiative
Officials stated that the translated Qur’an copies are being distributed at airports, seaports, and border crossings as pilgrims begin their journeys back to their home countries following Hajj.
The initiative is designed to serve the diverse international community participating in Hajj, which attracts Muslims from hundreds of countries every year.
Promoting Islamic Knowledge Worldwide
Authorities say the distribution project reflects Saudi Arabia’s ongoing efforts to promote Islamic education and make the teachings of the Holy Qur’an accessible to people from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
The translated editions cover a wide range of global languages, allowing pilgrims to better understand and study the Qur’an after returning home.
Part of Saudi Arabia’s Hajj Services Program
The initiative forms part of broader services provided to pilgrims during and after Hajj, including:
- Religious guidance
- Educational materials
- Transportation support
- Healthcare services
- Pilgrim assistance programs
Officials emphasized that providing translated Qur’an copies helps strengthen the spiritual experience of pilgrims and supports the global dissemination of Islamic knowledge.
Hajj Pilgrims Return Home After Completing Sacred Journey
As millions of pilgrims complete the final stages of Hajj, Saudi authorities continue to facilitate smooth departure operations while offering religious and educational resources to worshippers from around the world.
The distribution of Qur’an translations in 80 languages is being viewed as one of the largest religious publication initiatives associated with the annual pilgrimage.
