Dar-ol-Quran of Imam Hussein (AS) Holy Shrine Condoles Death of Iranian Qari

TEHRAN (IQNA) – The Dar-ol-Quran center of Imam Hussein (AS) holy shrine in Karbala, Iraq, in a message expressed condolences over the death of prominent Iranian Qari Hamid Reza Abbasi.

Abbasi died in a hospital in the holy city of Mashhad on Tuesday.

He, along with another internationally-known Iranian Qari, Hamid Shakernejad, had been seriously injured in a car accident last week.

The accident happened when they were on their way to Mashhad returning from a trip to the central city of Semnan to serve as arbiters in a Quran competition there.

The Dar-ol-Quran center of Imam Hussein (AS) holy shrine also sent a delegation to Mashhad to visit Hamid Shakernejad in hospital.

Abbasi, who was 39, had won a number of titles in international Quran competitions, including those in Kuwait and Malaysia.

He was an honorary Quran reciter at the holy mausoleum of Imam Reza (AS) in Mashhad.
