The committee of the award has decided to dedicate and name the 24th edition after the late Sheikh Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum in recognition of his efforts in all fields.

The Quran Award commissioned two of the most famous calligraphers in the world to write the Qur’an of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan and after their completion two years ago, the two copies of the Qur’an were presented to Arabic calligraphy specialists to choose the font.

In 2011, it was announced that the President of the UAE was chosen as the Islamic Personality of the Year for that session, and on this occasion the Organizing Committee of the Award was tasked with writing and printing a Qur’an in the name of Sheikh Khalifa.
