Mehran Rajabi, a renowned Iranian actor and presenter, spent his Monday night exploring the 31st International Holy Quran Fair in Tehran.
“I had been meaning to visit the exhibition for several
days, but couldn’t make it, however, today, I managed to get here before
breaking my fast,” he said.
“The exhibition is a sight to behold - bustling with people,
brimming with potential, and exuding an aura of revelation and devotion that
seems to permeate both time and space,” he said.
Anyone who takes the time to truly absorb what’s on display
here will find themselves invigorated for the year to come, Rajabi said.
The iftar was also excellent with everything being
well-organized, he said, adding that a fasting individual could eat half of the
iftar provided at the exhibition and not feel the need to eat until dawn.
“Anyone who appreciates any form of art will undoubtedly
find a unique joy in visiting the Quran fair,” he said.
“Sometimes, I wish I wasn’t so well-known. It would be nice
to be able to wander around the exhibition for a few hours, taking in all its
different aspects without any interruptions,” said the actor.

Tehran's Imam Khomeini Mosalla on March 20, welcoming visitors to a spiritual
