While any disrespect towards the Quran can cause distress, the miracle of the Quran lies within its divine verses, Hojat-ol-Islam Kamaleddin Khodadadeh said on Tuesday on the sidelines of his visit to the 31^st International Holy Quran Fair.

“As more people around the world read the Quran, the number of individuals drawn to its divine verses grows; Those who attempt to desecrate the Quran may believe they are weakening its influence, but in reality, they are only amplifying its strength.”

Elsewhere, he said that the Quran exhibition can foster enriching experiences in the realm of Quranic studies. “This is because it provides a platform for Quranic institutions to showcase their work, and it also allows the Quranic community to engage in a Quranic event.”

The more such Quranic events take place, the more opportunities there are for children and teenagers to be engaged and enlightened, he said.

The 31st International Holy Quran Fair opened its doors at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Mosalla on March 20, welcoming visitors to a spiritual and cultural journey that coincides with the Nowruz holidays.

The exhibition, which will run until April 2, invites enthusiasts to explore its offerings daily from 5:00 PM to 00:30 AM local time.
