The National Centre for the Holy Quran has stated it will hold classes at King Salman Mosque in the new academic year.
The centre currently conducts six classes and is facing challenges in holding classes due to the lack of space in its building. In order to solve the issue, the centre is working to transfer the class sessions to King Salman Mosque.
Speaking to PSM News, Director of the National Centre for the Holy Quran Ibrahim Abdul Kareem said that 90% of the work to transfer the class sessions to King Salman Mosque has been completed and that the centre expects classes to begin at the mosque at the start of the new academic year. He noted the mosque currently does not have internet connection and therefore, some of the class work will continue at the centre.
King Salman Mosque has allowed the Holy Quran centre to conduct its classes and administrative work on the third floor. The centre is also allowed to use the mosque’s auditorium to hold seminars and conferences.
The National Centre for the Holy Quran was opened by the president in 2000. The centre operates under the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and is entrusted with the task of educating the population with Quranic knowledge and sciences. More than 2,500 students are studying in the centre and its affiliated centres to become teachers and Imams.
