RIYADH: Princess Hessa bint Salman, daughter of Defense Minister Prince Salman, hoped her father’s vision for the Holy Qur’an is realized.
“His vision was that Qur’an should not be confined only to discussion, but to be an approach for a comprehensive study of jurisprudence science and religion,” Princess Hessa said.
At the closing session of the 14th ceremony of Prince Salman Contest for Memorization, Recitation and Interpretation of the Qur’an for Girls, the princess told Arab News that Prince Salman Contest allows women participation in all spheres, as the future participation in the Saudi Shoura Council comes as a breakthrough.
“The support of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques for women to enter the Consultative Council is a surprise that transcends women driving cars,” Princess Hessa said.
The princess also hoped to see women defending and pleading in courts. She called on the winners to not only memorize the Qur’an, but also to make it supportive in their research in all scientific fields. The princess said sponsoring this event is a pleasure for her. She expressed her happiness for the winners and appealed to Allah to light up their ways in this world and the hereafter.
She said, “Qur’an is not for memorizing only, but for applying its rules in our daily life.”
