The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is the Islamic Personality of the Year of the 21st edition of the Dubai International Holy Quran Award (DIHQA)
Ibrahim Mohamed Bu Melha, Adviser to the Ruler of Dubai for Cultural and Humanitarian Affairs and Head of DIHQA Organising Committee, made the announcement in a press conference late on Friday night at the Dubai Chamber.
"The Award has honoured a long list of esteemed Islamic characters and entities over the last 21 years in appreciation to their shiny records in serving Islam, Muslims and holy Quran worldwide."
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is of a well-known family highly acknowledged for long serving the Two Holy Mosques and their visitors, and facilitating the Haj and Umrah affairs, he added.
"The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, with his tireless effort, great services in this regard, as well as his noble traits and stands, is on top of that list of historic leaders whom the Islamic nation is so proud of."
The honour of serving the Two Holy Mosques and sacred places for Muslims from across the globe was the most important of such exceptional services he assumed, he underlined.
"These are apart from his support to moderate and tolerant Islamic work that goes with the supreme tolerant goals of the Islamic Sharia and as directed by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)."

The well-deserved honouring will definitely satisfy and bring happiness to the lovers of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, he noted.
Naming the King Salman the Islamic Personality of the Year is in recognition of his relentless efforts and orders to carry out the development projects of the Two Holy Mosques and sacred places as was the case with his brother kings, Bu Melha said.
"The holistic vision of King Salman bin Abdulaziz, as well as his care of the Two Holy Mosques, and his great interest in everything that makes it easier for pilgrims to perform their rites conveniently, let alone his interest in the Prophet noble biography."
The establishment of the King Abdulaziz Center for Waqf Libraries in Madinah to preserve the Arab and Islamic heritage was amongst his major achievements, he pointed out. "His constant efforts to unify the Arabs and Muslims to brave the challenges and circumstances that afflict the Arab and Islamic nations speak volume."
He has directly chaired and supervised a number of charitable societies for relieving the afflicted and needy people in the Arab and Islamic countries and the whole world, Bu Melha said.
"He has also established the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid, generously supported affected and needy people in Arab and Islamic countries and worldwide. The charitable and humanitarian activities of King Salman are hard to count as he still provides support to all disaster-hit countries, especially Islamic countries."
