The Holy Quran Academy in Sharjah.......An Impressive Architectural Icon


 The "Holy Quran Academy" in Sharjah, the UAE, is the largest of its kind in the world, as it was built on an area of 800 thousand square meters. The Academy is distinguished by its unique design, constructed within 18 months in the shape of the Islamic eight star, and includes 34 domes.

The idea of establishing the Holy Quran Academy in Sharjah was to be a distinct Qur’anic scientific beacon, seeking to serve the Qur’an and its sciences by taking care of the  Holy Quran in all its forms in manuscript, print, audio and digital and the introduction of related sciences and its pillars, in addition to developing the skills of those interested and working in the field of the Qur’an, and the scientific habilitation of the students of the Holy Quran in countries far from the Islamic world and granting them Quranic reciting certification chained to the Holy Prophet Mohammed SWT.

The Academy includes a number of museums: The Holy Quran museum, the Seven Readings museum, the Museum of The pillars of Qur’an, the museum of the recitation mentors, the museum of The valuable prints of the Qur’an, and the Hall of Scientific Quranic Miracles, as well as the following sections: Electronic Maqra’a, scientific courses, Iqra’a sessions, Quran recording studio and audio archive, as well as a specialized Qur’anic library.

The Academy is a remarkable achievement that reflects the great interest that the Emirate of Sharjah attaches to building buildings of a distinctive Islamic character and the spirit of Islamic architecture.
