After the Al-Icha and Taraouih prayers, the closing of Sahih Al-Boukhari took place, performed by Mr. Lahcen Id Said, member of the Supreme Council of Ulema, after the reading of "Hadith Al Khatm" by Mr. Abderrazak Tourabi, member of the local Council of Ulema of Rabat.

Subsequently, verses from the Holy Quran were recited by the child Meriem Assim (12 years old, from the city of Sidi Bennour), winner of the Mohammed VI National Prize for memorisation, recitation and chanting of the Holy Quran. His Majesty the King was then greeted by the young reciter, to whom the Sovereign presented the Prize.

This distinction testifies to the High benevolence with which HM the King, Commander of the Faithful, has constantly surrounded the male and female reciters of the Holy Quran and the Sovereign's constant desire to promote the memorisation and learning of the Holy Book among the young generations.

His Majesty the King then presented the Mohammed VI "Ahl Al-Qurâan" and "Ahl Al-Hadith" Prizes respectively to Mr. Mohamed Idrissi Tahiri, from the city of Agadir, and to Mr. Mustapha Azaryah, from the city of Tétouan.
