Jordan Launches Project to Collect, Restore Damaged Qurans
The initiative was launched on Monday by the department’s mosque division. It focuses on gathering worn or torn copies of the Quran and restoring any that remain in usable condition, according to Al-Dustour.
Under the plan, copies that can no longer be used will be handled in accordance with Islamic guidelines to ensure respect for the sacred text.
Luay al-Dhanibat, director of the Tafilah Awqaf Department, described the effort as “a national project through which old and damaged Qurans will be collected in more than 200 mosques in Tafilah for the purpose of documenting the old or torn copies.”
He noted that many of these copies “are in a condition that makes them unreadable, and they will be disposed of within the framework of Islamic regulations and with respect.”

Al-Dhanibat said the main aim is to preserve the honor of the Quran and prevent any form of disrespect. When possible, copies will be repaired and rebound.
He added that the project will continue for a week according to a set schedule and will be carried out in cooperation with mosque staff, including muezzins, imams, and mosque committees.
The director emphasized that Jordan’s Ministry of Awqaf places special importance on the Quran and plays an active role in collecting old and damaged copies.
