In the first quarter of the 20th century, around 30M Christians lived in Asia and Africa, while today this number has reached 700M. One of the main factors behind this increase is the missionary activities carried out by Western countries in these geographies.

After the Western countries reduced the power of the Ottomans in the geographies where it ruled, they deprived the Muslim countries of their material means by expanding their missionary activities and colonialism. So much so that they even tried to disable the means to supply the Holy Qur'an. Especially in countries such as Somalia, Kenya, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, and others, the fact that foreign languages are used in governance and education leads to greater difficulties for Muslims. In this way, Muslims living in Asia and Africa are being driven away from their religion. It is very difficult to find only one Qur'an copy in a mosque or even in a whole village. The students who learn and memorize the Qur'an try to learn the verses by writing them on wooden boards called “Lawh".

What We Do?

As Hayrat Aid, we fully realize the importance of not only material needs but also spiritual needs. To this end, we launched “The World Reads the Quran” project and set out for those in need who cannot afford to have a copy of the Quran in Türkiye and worldwide. To date, thanks to your generous support, we have delivered 1.4M copies of the Holy Qur'an to those in need in 35 countries.
