MP Lauds ACECR for Successfully Holding Int’l Quran Contest for Muslim Students
TEHRAN (IQNA) – An Iranian lawmaker praised the Academic Center for Education, Culture and Research (ACECR) for successfully organizing the 6th edition of the International Quran Competition for Muslim Students.
In a letter to ACECR Chief Hamid Reza Tayyebi, Hojat-ol-Islam Nasrollah Pejmanfar thanked those involved in organizing the Quranic event.
The 6th edition of the competition was held in Iran’s northeastern city of Mashhad on April 27-29.
It saw the participation of 44 Quran activists, 19 Qaris and 25 memorizers from 35 countries.
