The Presidential Medal and Prize awarded to those who have memorised the Noble Quran is scheduled to be presented on the night of 1 March.
Organised by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, the ceremony will take place at the Islamic Centre. This year, 50 Huffaz are set to receive the honours.
The most recent such awards were conferred during an official ceremony on 2 Rabi' al-Akhir 1446 AH, coinciding with the anniversary of the day the Maldives embraced Islam. On that occasion, 28 Huffaz were honoured.
