It was established by Sunni and Shia Muslims with the aim of developing cultural and religious activities, Sayyed Zawar Hussain Naqavi, its prayers leader told IQNA.
He said the society organizes various religious and Quranic programs for Muslims in the Scandinavian country.
They include holding courses on Quran reading, reciting and Tajweed as well as Arabic and Persian language and Islamic ethics courses.
