A booth at the 31st International Holy Quran Fair is promoting the public knowledge about Nahj al-Balagha through various programs.
The “Nahj al-Balagha, Book of Government” booth employs
artistic methods to introduce Nahj al-Balagha to children and teenagers. This
booth is equipped with several specialized sections, primarily designed for
families and children.
Educational workshops for children and teenagers are held
every evening from 6 to 8. Instructors use puppetry and drama to teach the
wisdom of Nahj al-Balagha. This skill-based section enables children to learn
the concepts of Nahj al-Balagha through wisdom and stories, thereby enhancing
their social and communication skills with their parents.
The collection also includes a bookstore, where books
related to Imam Ali (AS) and Nahj al-Balagha, as well as cultural products
created by students, can be found.
An art gallery is another feature of the booth, where
students and artists from various disciplines display art or content related to
Imam Ali (AS). One of the highlights of this booth is the presence of
calligraphy masters who offer free calligraphy on the paper of the visitor’s
choice.
A library, divided into three sections: children and
teenagers, youth, and general, is also part of the booth. This library houses
300 volumes of books related to Nahj al-Balagha.
Lastly, 12 specialized meetings, known as Nahj al-Balagha,
are hosted every night, attended by professors and experts.
