They came with so much enthusiasm and lovingly presented beautiful gift bags containing a Qur’an, Qur’anic Wisdom, and an Interfaith Prayer. Seeing them joyfully offering these gifts and the survivors r

In the Netherlands, we met a dedicated group involved in da’wah; the brother on the left is a scholar who runs a centre where he gives lectures, and we had a very good discussion with him. InshaAllah, we hope they will expand their Qur’an distribution on a much larger scale. Our next stop was Cologne, Germany, where we met Yasir Al‑Zayyat, who has been a great help in our da’wah efforts at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Through him, we acquired the German translation of the Qur’an,

Our first stop was the Grand Mosque of Compiègne in northern France. We also visited another mosque in Compiègne, which has a school for children, and met with several people who are interested in da’wah. In France, we met our distributor, Mr. Salim Bensheba, who is based in Paris. He was very cooperative and agreed to store French Qur’an stock in his warehouse, from where it can be shipped to any location in France. Having this stock stored with him is a great blessing. Once

We arrived without a working canopy, and in the heat of the sun, two unexpected “angels” appeared through the kindness of strangers—a wonderful man noticed us and came over to install a canopy for us. Later, two women received Spanish Qur’ans and returned with food for us, refusing to take any money. Another gentleman visited our table while on Facebook Live, received a Qur’an, and invited his friends—soon, many of them came to receive copies too. What made this day especiall

The CPS team had the opportunity to visit Brunei with the intention to distribute the Qur’an, continuing the efforts to promote intellectual awareness and God‑consciousness among all people.

Our team from Jerusalem was doing Qur’an distribution in Mexico during the football matches, where we handed out thousands of Spanish copies and were amazed by how eagerly the Latino community welcomed and requested them. Thousands of copies were distributed through Goodword Publication and other contributors, Alhamdulillah.

It began in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Accompanied by Dr. Saniaysnain Khan Sahab, we visited the Jame Masjid, where we discovered CPS Qurans displayed in multiple languages. Brother Zaharin Ali kindly provided us with valuable contacts in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Our next stop was the Masjid Negara, the national mosque, which houses the department maintained by volunteers. We were impressed by the CPS Quran translations available for pickup at no cost. The widespread distri
