It also seeks to regain the humanitarian role of the endowment in achieving sustainable development, as well social, health and cultural development, and to promote the Muslim community.

It organises seminars and interpretation lessons in mosques and is working relentlessly to establish recitation centers in the different parts of the country, in order to produce qualified and well-respected reciters capable of participating in local and international competitions. It also works on delivering the Book of Allah to every Muslim by printing and publishing millions of free copies of different sizes.

Today, it is crowning its journey by copying and publishing a unique copy of the Holy Mus'haf that will be a source of pride for the State of Qatar and every Muslim wherever he may be.
