Two Quranic Centers Closed in Jordan
TEHRAN (IQNA) – Jordan’s security forces raided two Quran memorization centers in the city of Maan.
They confiscated the centers’ books, including copies of the Quran, and closed them down due to "lack of permission”, khaberni.com website reported.
A security source in the province said the houses of a number of people in the city were also raided on Sunday.
According to the director of one of the centers, it currently has 250 Quran learners and has so far trained 9 memorizers of the entire Quran.
Hssani al-Quzat, the governor general of Maan province who ordered the closing of the centers, said they offered lessons other than those designated by the education ministry.
Jordan is an Arab kingdom in Western Asia.
Over 95 percent of the country’s people are Muslims.
