The Dubai International Holy Quran Award has announced that registration for its 28th international edition, set for 2026, has seen a record turnout within just three weeks of its launch.

This follows the qualitative additions approved by the Award's Board of Trustees as part of its new development vision.

Ahmed Darwish Al Muhairi, Director-General of the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in Dubai and Chairman of the Award's Board of Trustees, revealed that the total number of applicants has exceeded 3,400 Quran memorisers from 85 countries worldwide affirming the Award's strong reputation and the eagerness to participate.

He noted that this figure, a significant increase compared to previous editions, reflects the Award's vision to expand global participation and broaden its activities and international reach.

For the first time, the Award has opened participation to females through a dedicated category and has allowed direct individual nominations, alongside the usual nominations by the participant's country or an accredited Islamic centre.
