“A special feature of this year’s exhibition was the issue of Gaza,” Esmaeili said on Monday while speaking live with the Iranian national TV.

“The resilience of the people of Gaza, who are resorting to the Quran to stand strong against the brutal attacks of the Zionist regime is exemplary,” he said, adding that the ministry sought to reflect this issue in this event.

This year’s Quran exhibition focused on the theme of family, and it was very well received, he stressed.

The “Hafiz Sho” [become a memorizer] campaign was a highlight of this exhibition, attracting a few millions of participants.

The 31st International Holy Quran Fair commenced at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Mosalla on March 20, with the motto of “I Read You.” 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.
