Raisi visited different booths including those of Tebyan Institute, Computer Research Center of Islamic Sciences (Noor), and the pavilion of artificial intelligence.

Later while addressing a ceremony to honor 15 Quran servants, he expressed his gratitude to all the organizers for making this Quranic event possible, not only in Tehran but across the country. He also appreciated all the Quranic institutions, activists, and scholars, particularly those who have contributed new and valuable works for children and teenagers at the Quran exhibition.

“This year, we’ve seen the beautiful integration of technology and creativity at the exhibition, which serves as an excellent example of innovative approaches to Quranic education,” he said, pointing to innovative sections at the event that use modern technologies such as artificial intelligence to promote the Holy Quran.

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 thoughtfully 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.
