General and Chairman of Senior Scholars Council and Department of Scholarly Research and Ifta Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al Al-Sheikh said, "Praise be to Almighty Allah for bestowing upon this blessed country a leadership adhering and spreading the Holy Quran and Prophet's Sunnah," noting that Prince Naif's 5th Competition for Memorization of Prophet's Hadith has brought about the well-being of Muslims all over the world. On his part, Dr. Saed Al-Orabi Al-Harthi, Advisor to Prince Naif and Award's Secretary General said priorities of the late King Abdulaziz, ever since the foundation of the Kingdom, had been to educate the youth on the Holy Quran and Prophet's Sunnah and this correct approach has been pursued by the Kingdom's subsequent Kings until the era of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz and the Crown Prince.
