The Quranforsoul Foundation is invested with a noble mission; It is a matter of responding to the demand of Muslim communities in all countries, faced with their needs for the provision of the Holy Quran, and therefore to allow its discovery and learning. In this globalized world which causes great inequalities and the retreat of spirituality, initiatives allowing to get closer to the Divine Message are more necessary than ever.

We are coming to the end of the holy month of Ramadan, during which Muslims around the world come together in the same effort of piety, patience, temperance, sincerity, spiritual strengthening, consolation and generosity. Reading the Holy Quran is one of the strongest acts, whether in places of worship or individually. However, an immense number of families do not have access to the Revealed Book.

The smile of a student who touches for the first time his copy of Holy Qur'an has no price. The happiness of an elder squeezing the Holy Quran against his chest deserves to be worked for this project.
Great hearts always meet what they have made. It is important that you do not leave ignorance leads you, hatred blocks your way and make you blind, and intolerance overcomes your mind.
Our journey to New Delhi in July 2018, to witness the distribution of the Holy Qur'an in schools, universities and Islamic centers, was almost similar to the stories of Sindbad and his marvelous travels in the wonderland.
