A Nigerian woman, Habibat Salawudeen Ihiovi-Jack, has completed a 144-hour Guinness World Record attempt for the longest marathon reading of the Holy Bible.

According to videos from friends and supporters on Instagram, the feat was completed on Monday after six days of continuous Bible reading under Guinness World Records guidelines, which permit only limited breaks for essential needs.

Tagged “144 Hours in the Word,” the attempt was a faith-driven initiative aimed at encouraging deeper engagement with Scripture and inspiring believers to develop a stronger commitment to Bible study.

The journey to the record attempt reportedly began in June 2022 after years of preparation marked by consistency, endurance and devotion.
