"Khatam al-Quran may be familiar, but khatam tadabbur page by page is My #QuranTime's approach to reading, understanding and charity.

“This is the mission for us. We see the excitement of followers on TV and digital to follow an hour class with al-Quran and this is something extraordinary.

"Mv #QuranTime 2.0 emphasises the understanding and memorising elements of the Quran so that people can read and memorize surah correctly, then they can practice the reading in prayers with better quality,” he said.
