Hojat-ol-Islam Seyyed Ali Akbar Hosseini, academic board member of the Islamic Culture and Teachings Research Center made the remark in an interview with IQNA, adding that in view of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khamenei, memorization, recitation and contemplation of the Quran will help human beings to reach awareness, justice and insight.
He said the most outstanding characteristics of the late Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Imam Khomeini (RA) and the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution imam Khamenei is their efforts to promote the Quranic teachings.
Hojat-ol-Islam Hosseini said in view of Imam Khamenei, all human being should get awareness and insight and there is no better source for helping people to reach awareness and insight than the Quran.
He said that is why the Supreme Leader has repeatedly emphasized the need for contemplating the Holy Quran.
The cleric noted that there is still much effort needed to promote the culture of contemplating the Quran in society.
He also said that reading the Quran itself is laudable but it would be better that reading the Holy Book accompanies contemplation of the verses.
