The family of the deceased attended the memorial service to share in the Center’s memory of their deceased colleague, who passed away due to a terminal illness. The Center’s deanship also recalled al-Quraishi’s contributions to the Center’s faculty and graduate students until his retirement. It is worth noting that the late al-Quraishi was a scholarly source, a reliable translator of foreign sources, and a mentor to students and researchers from both inside and outside the University. He also played a prominent educational role at the Center, owing to his academic vision that combined knowledge with its seekers.
The Dean of the Center, Dr. Alwan, presented the deceased’s family with a copy of the Holy Qur’an in honor of his soul. The family also donated his personal library to the Center, to be used as a reliable scholarly resource for students and researchers seeking knowledge.
