The Rodossi Mushaf is considered a defining hallmark of Algeria's religious and civilizational identity, serving as a scientific and religious beacon with regional and international reach.

It stands as a testament to the country's commitment to spreading the teachings of the true Islamic faith, based on moderation and balance.

In embodiment of this noble endeavor, the President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, ordered the reprinting of the historic Rodossi Mushaf in 2022.

This step coincided with the 60th anniversary of the restoration of national sovereignty.

This Quran, printed decades ago in Algeria, constitutes an important reference for teaching the Holy Quran in Quranic schools and Zawiyas.

The Rodossi Mushaf accompanied the Mujahideen in their struggle against the French colonizer during the glorious War of Liberation.

Over the decades, it has become an integral part of the heritage through which Algerians have preserved their religious and national identity.

Due to the widespread renown it gained in the African Sahel countries, the Rodossi Mushaf was given the title "The Algeria Mushaf."

Its free distribution to the peoples of the region has become an opportunity to strengthen the historical ties and deep spiritual bonds uniting Algeria with Africa.

Reflecting Algeria's dedication to serving the Holy Quran, spreading it, and consolidating its tolerant values, this historic Mushaf is being delivered across the Islamic world.

The Rodossi Mushaf is also distributed to members of the Algerian community residing abroad, a move aimed at strengthening their connection to their religious foundations and national identity.

This operation is conducted in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In a related context, the "Algeria Mushaf" printed in Braille stands out as part of the efforts made to entrench the noble values of the Holy Quran.

This version was issued by order of the President of the Republic, within the framework of the care he accords to people with special needs.

The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Wakfs oversees the free distribution of this edition to the blind throughout the national territory.

It is also being distributed across the Islamic world and to members of the Algerian diaspora.

This initiative supports efforts toward religious and social inclusion while consolidating values of solidarity and mutual support.

Printed in 2023, this Mushaf features a unique format combining standard text with Braille.

This method allows for shared use, enhancing inclusion and communication between different segments of society.

A specialized Braille sub-committee supervised the preparation of this work, monitored by the Holy Quran Review and Audit Committee at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments. This ensured the integrity and accuracy of the Quranic text, adhering to scientific standards and the approved Uthmani script.

Thus, these two editions have become ambassadors for Algeria across the Islamic world, reflecting its dedication to serving the Book of Allah.

This dual achievement represents a deepening of Algeria's civilizational and humanitarian message and its noble significance.
