Morocco Petitions for Return of Quran Copies to Mosques After COVID Restrictions

To demand the return of Quran copies in places of worship, Moroccans have launched a campaign on Facebook, reports Hespress. Abdoul Samad Moukhlis, a man deeply involved in Quranic activities, said that the faithful are eagerly awaiting the ministry’s authorization to return the Quran copies to the mosques that reopened a few months ago, after a drop in Covid-19 cases in the kingdom.

For now, each believer who comes to the mosque is forced to bring a copy of the Quran or download it on his smartphone, explains Moukhils, specifying that the health restrictions should not prevent the faithful from reading the Quran in the mosques.

This is why Moukhils is asking the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs to reconsider its position on the issue, assuring that the faithful are ready to strictly respect the barrier gestures and regularly sterilize the mosques.
