The 21st edition of Tehran International Holy Quran Exhibition concluded in a ceremony on Sunday night, August 4.
It was attended by Culture Minister Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini, head of the Quran and Etrat Fraction of the Majlis Laleh Eftekhari, head of the exhibition Hojat-ol-Islam hamid Mohammadi and directors of the exhibition’s sections.
The function began with the playing of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s national anthem followed by recitation of verses from the Holy Quran by prominent Qari Ahmad Abolqassemi.
Next, Hojat-ol-Islam Hamid Mohammadi briefed the participants on the organization of the 21st Quran exhibition.
He began with congratulating Hojat-ol-Islam Hassan Rohani on his inauguration as president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, explaining that the new president could not attend the Quran exhibition’s closing ceremony because of his tight schedule.
Hojat-ol-Islam Mohammadi described the 21st Quran exhibition as a very influential one and praised the news coverage of the event by 20 TV and radio stations.
He said that in this year’s edition, 38000 square meters of space had been allocated to the exhibition at Imam Khomeini (RA) Mosalla (prayer hall), including 28000 square meters of the main Shabestan (hall).
The cleric noted that 200 domestic publishers and 50 more from other countries presented 23000 titles in the exhibition.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Hojat-ol-Islam Mohammadi pointed to the perspective of the new government’s Quranic activities, saying that it will work on institutionalizing and systemizing Quranic activities in the country.
Next in the program, a video clip featuring the activities of the 21st International Quran Exhibition was screened and then 40 servants of Nahj-ul-Balaqa and Sahifeh Sajjadiyeh were honored.
Culture Minister Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini also addressed the ceremony, saying that the exhibition demonstrated the faith-based arts of Quranic heroes.
The program ended by honoring a number of Quran activists, researchers, scholars, reciters, and instructors.
With the inauguration of Hojat-ol-Islam Rohani’s government of prudence and hope, we should wait and see how the new government plans to organize the 22nd edition of the Quran exhibition next year.
