Islamic Affairs Ministry Showcases Saudi Arabia's Role At Moscow International Book Fair

The Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance is showcasing its contributions at the 38th Moscow International Book Fair from September 3 to 7. This event is part of Saudi Arabia's pavilion. The ministry's corner introduces visitors to the Kingdom's efforts in serving the Noble Quran and promoting moderation and religious balance.

Visitors are presented with various editions of the Quran printed by the King Fahd Glorious Quran Printing Complex in Madinah. These editions come in multiple sizes and are translated into 77 languages. The display includes an interactive demonstration of modern printing processes used for these editions.

The corner also features innovative digital applications. Among them is a 3D, multilingual app that educates users on the rituals of Hajj and Umrah. Another app, a Quran keyboard, allows users to search, insert, and share verified Quran verses and Hadiths directly, reducing writing errors.

Visitors can take a virtual-reality tour of the Prophet’s Mosque. This experience allows them to explore its interior and architectural landmarks while learning about Saudi Arabia’s care for the Two Holy Mosques.

The corner showcases rare Islamic manuscripts from the Makkah Al Mukarramah Library. These include works by scholars such as fiqh scholars, writers, and linguists. This display highlights Saudi Arabia’s commitment to preserving and sharing Islamic heritage globally.

The ministry's participation underscores its dedication to promoting moderation and religious balance through publications. This aligns with Saudi Arabia's leading role in serving Islam and Muslims, reflecting the leadership’s aspirations and Saudi Vision 2030.
