As the word of Allah and a revelation for us all, the Qur’an is at the center of every Muslim life. It serves as a guidance for all those who read and implement its teachings.

On Saturday, March 5th, join us at Annoor Academy Gym for an all-day conference on a journey through the Qur’an. In this two day event, we will have inspiring talks, beautiful recitation, and reflection on the light and mercy present in the words of Allah. In addition, we will offer a series of 40 Hadith revealing the blessings of the Qur’an.

Friends and family are welcome to join workshops on Tajwid and participate in live scholarly reflections. We will also have an incredible line up of competitors for our 1st Annual Al-Mizmaar (flute) competition as some young Qaris of Knoxville are invited to the stage!

Let’s grow close to the Qur’an and unlock the gems of revelation, as one, strong community.
