An advisor to the Iranian culture minister says the fact that millions of people have visited the Quran exhibitions across the country shows people’s deep love for the Holy Quran.
The International Exhibition of the Holy Quran, the
country’s largest Quranic event, was more impressive this year than ever
before, Alireza Moaf said on Monday.
This year’s exhibition was held with great splendor,
attracting millions of people, a testament to their deep love and reverence for
the Holy Quran, he added.
Simultaneously, Quranic exhibitions were also held in 30
other provinces, mirroring the main event in Tehran, he noted.
The overwhelming response from the public to these
exhibitions underscores the significant responsibility of the statesmen, he
said.
The 31st
International Holy Quran Fair commenced at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Mosalla on
March 20, coinciding with the Nowruz holidays. This spiritual and cultural
event invites visitors on a journey of exploration.
Running until April
2, the exhibition welcomes enthusiasts daily from 5:00 PM to 00:30 AM local
time. Notably, the fair fosters a family-friendly atmosphere, providing a warm
and inclusive space for all age groups.
Iftar tables have
been arranged, allowing visitors to break their fast together in a communal
setting. Beyond its local appeal, the fair draws attention to global issues,
emphasizing the role of the Quran in inspiring resistance, particularly
concerning Gaza and Palestine.
Through artistic,
cultural, and theatrical mediums, the fair aims to familiarize attendees with
Quranic concepts. Special sections cover topics such as artificial
intelligence, Nahj al-Balaghah, Quranic research and consultation, Quran
translation, and easy Quran memorization.
