Thousands Gather for A Generation of Quran

Anbar recently witnessed a powerful moment of unity and faith during the massive event titled “A Generation of Quran.” Held at Al-Ramadi Stadium, the celebration drew over ten thousand attendees, making it the largest cultural gathering in the province’s history.

The event served as the grand finale of a Quran memorization competition that inspired thousands across the region. More than 9,000 participants from various towns in Anbar joined the effort to memorize Surat Al-Hujurat. Their commitment transformed the contest into a meaningful cultural movement.

Zaid Al-Maayoof, a lead organizer, explained that the competition took place over several phases. Contestants went through a structured path of testing and evaluation. Every step brought them closer to the final celebration, where their hard work was publicly honored.

To reward their dedication, the organizers gifted a free Umrah pilgrimage to 120 winners. A group of kindhearted donors made this generous act possible. The prize recognized both achievement and devotion to the Quran’s teachings.

Al-Maayoof stressed the deeper purpose behind the event. He described the goal as reinforcing the spiritual values of Anbar’s people. According to him, the competition also aimed to guide the younger generation toward faith and strong moral values.

The huge turnout reflected a growing interest in religious and educational activities across the province. Families, teachers, and local leaders came together to support this meaningful initiative.

“A Generation of Quran” became more than just a competition. It symbolized a cultural shift, showing the world a different side of Anbar—one filled with hope, learning, and unity.

Through events like this, communities stay connected to their spiritual roots. They also build bridges between generations and create a lasting legacy.
