According to Qaaf news agency, the seminar hosted Abdul Mahdi Al-Morshedi, an eminent Qari who has mastered the Iraqi recitation style.
The program began with the recitation of some verses from the Quran by Muhammad Sattar, the youngest participant in the Amir al-Qurra plan.

Addressing the seminar, Al-Morshedi discussed the history of the Iraqi style and some of his experiences in this respect.
