181 women, girls take part in Muscat’s Second Women’s Quranic Day

MUSCAT: The Omani Society for the Care of the Holy Quran organised the second season of 'Women’s Quranic Day' on Saturday at Al Haq Mosque in the Wilayat of Al Seeb, Muscat Governorate, under the gracious auspices of Her Highness Sayyidah Al Shaima bint Ghalib al Said.
The event aims to recognise the pioneering contributions of Omani women in serving the Holy Quran, honouring their prominent role in society, and emphasising the association’s continued focus on promoting women’s participation in Quranic, educational and community activities.
The day-long event commenced immediately after the dawn prayer and continued through the evening, providing a spiritual and uplifting atmosphere characterised by cooperation, mutual affection and a spirit of sisterhood. It brought together a wide range of participants, including female Quran teachers, memorisers, and enthusiasts from across various governorates of the Sultanate of Oman.

A total of 181 girls and women took part, distributed across 98 Quranic study circles supervised by 92 female teachers and supervisors, with additional support from six female administrative staff. The participants represented a broad age spectrum, ranging from the youngest at 12 years old to the eldest at 65 years, demonstrating the intergenerational commitment of Omani women to Quranic knowledge and spiritual development.
The second season of Women’s Quranic Day included four competitive and educational sections: recitation of the entire Quran, 15 parts, 10 parts, and 5 parts, catering to participants of varying proficiency and experience levels. This format not only encouraged engagement at all levels but also highlighted the dedication, discipline, and deep respect participants hold for the Holy Quran.
The event reflects the Omani Society for the Care of the Holy Quran’s ongoing efforts to empower women in religious education, foster community involvement, and preserve the rich tradition of Quranic memorisation and recitation.
Through initiatives like Women’s Quranic Day, the association continues to strengthen the cultural and spiritual fabric of Oman while providing a platform for women to excel in Quranic sciences and inspire future generations. — ONA
