Ayatollah Mohammadi Iraqi, Head of the Islamic Revolution Leader’s Office in Qom, said that the Holy Quran continues to fulfill the needs of humans at all times.
“It’s commendable
that we’re integrating the Quran into all facets of modern life and show that
despite the myriad changes in human life, the Holy Quran continues to fulfill
human needs at all times,” he said on Monday on the sidelines of his visit to
the 31st International Holy Quran Fair in Tehran.
The seminaries are shining
in this exhibition, showcasing their role in Quran-related fields, spanning
education, research, art, and culture, he said elsewhere.
In the seminary section,
two aspects stand out, he said, adding, “First, the international activities of
the seminary, which highlight their progress and focus on the global stage; Second,
the Quranic consultations, which are a significant part of their work.”
The Quranic
activities in the social media, particularly in addressing the doubts of the
new generation, are of paramount importance, he stressed.
Today’s social
media has become a tangible reality with significant influence and thankfully,
Quranic activists have made their presence felt in this domain, showcasing
their valuable Quranic accomplishments, which is praiseworthy and deserving of
gratitude, added the senior cleric.
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.
