DUBAI — The organising committee of the Dubai International Holy Quran Award (DIHQA) held a ceremony on Monday honouring participants of the fifth ‘Alhafiz Almuwatin’ competition, contested by UAE nationals, at the Ministry of Education in Ghusais.
Organising committee chairman Ibrahim Bu Melha and other DIHQA officials attended the event as well as the contestants and their families.
