Support for Palestine Underlined at Kuwait Int’l Quran Contest Opening Ceremony
“We will never forget the blessed land (of Palestine) from where the last Prophet (PBUH) ascended to heaven,” Abdulrahman Al-Mutairi said, addressing the inauguration ceremony of Kuwait’s 12th international Holy Quran competition on Wednesday.
He deplored the Israeli massacre of “our brothers and sisters in faith” in the Gaza Strip and elsewhere in Palestine, saying the atrocities being committed by the Zionists have reached an indescribable point.
He added that the issue of holy al-Quds is not just a Palestinian issue but one related to the Muslim world, stressing that the people and government of Kuwait have always stood by the Palestinians and supported them.
Elsewhere in his remarks, al-Mutairi highlighted the emphasis laid on Quranic activities in Kuwait and said the international Quran award of the country has become a cultural turning point and a global achievement.
He thanked the organizers of the competition and said Kuwait attaches great importance to the promotion of Quran recitation and memorization and development of its teachings and values.
