Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Funded by President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and followed up by His Highness Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Presidential Court, the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments (GAIAE) printed about 100,000 copies of the Holy Quran.

This is the second batch to be printed as part of the Printing the Holy Quran project financed by His Highness the President, to be distributed among mosques, memorisation centres, and charitable institutions both in the UAE and abroad. Dr. Omar Habtoor Al Darei, Chairman of the GAIAE, praised the great care and attention that His Highness the President pays to the Quran and its teachings, appreciating his great support to the Quran memorisation centres.

This continues the approach of the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who laid the first stone for the Quran memorisation centres. The printing of these 100,000 copies of the Holy Quran is a continuation of the efforts of the UAE government to support the Quran and its teachings. The project is also part of the country's commitment to promote Islam and its values around the world.
