Qatar Charity launches Quran Literacy Project in Bangladesh
DOHA: Qatar Charity (QC) has launched its pioneering Quran Literacy Project in Bangladesh, aimed at empowering children with reading difficulties by equipping them with the essential skills to recite, memorize, and comprehend the Holy Quran. The project is part of Qatar Charity's wider Al-Furqan Quranic Literacy Program, which not only focuses on Quranic education but also promotes the moral, psychological, and social development of its beneficiaries. The initiative is delivered through simplified, engaging, and inclusive educational content, reinforcing Qatar Charity's commitment to supporting marginalized communities through both spiritual and educational development. The project was inaugurated at two of Qatar Charity's flagship social welfare centers, Markaz Muhammad bin Ajaj Al Kubaisi Center and the Sakhaa Center, with over 600 sponsored children in attendance. The launch ceremony was vibrant and participatory, featuring Quran recitations, theatrical performances, and cultural competitions. These activities reflected the program's inclusive and celebratory approach to learning, while fostering a sense of community and purpose among participants. Speaking at the event, Country Director of Qatar Charity's Bangladesh Branch Dr Mohammad Amin Hafez Omar said, "This initiative is more than a literacy campaign, it is a transformative journey. Teaching the Holy Quran is not just about words and rules; it is about building balanced individuals equipped with values, self-respect, and purpose. Through this program, we enable our beneficiaries to connect with the divine message and open the door to a renewed sense of identity, dignity, and direction in life." Monzurul Haque, a Quran teacher involved in the project, elaborated on the teaching methodology: "We begin with foundational Arabic, helping students recognize letters and sounds, then gradually introduce Quranic verses along with their meanings. Our goal is not merely fluency, but deep understanding and spiritual reflection." The students expressed enthusiasm and gratitude for the opportunity to participate in the initiative. Zakaria Dewan shared: "I feel proud to be part of this program. Learning the Quran properly has always been a dream for me. Now, I feel like I am doing something that gives me strength and brings me closer to my faith." Khadiza Begum added: "This project makes me happy. I feel like I am learning something important for my life. It gives me hope that I can understand the Quran like my teachers." Ataul Islam reflected: "Learning the Quran in its original language is a dream I never thought possible. It makes me feel connected to my faith and my identity." Qatar Charity currently supports 5,082 students in Bangladesh through comprehensive financial assistance, aiming to ensure a brighter and more secure future for them.
