Quranic Sciences Center Launched in Baghdad
TEHRAN (IQNA) – A center for Quranic readings and sciences named Rasul Azam (great prophet (PBUH)) was launched in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
A number of Iraqi Quranic figures and Qaris took part in the opening ceremony earlier this week, the Qaaf news agency reported.
It included a Quran recitation session in which prominent Qaris inducing Sheikh Rafi al-Ameri, Sheikh Iyad al-Ka’abi, Sheikh Osama al-Karbalayi and Ali al-Muhammadawi recited verses from the Quran.
The program was broadcast by the l-Masar al-Oula satellite network, the report said.
The Rasul Azam Quranic center is directed by Sheikh Iyad al-Ka’abi and its activities are supervised by prominent cleric Sayyed Majid al-Mubarqa.
Iraq has seen a surge in Quranic activities in the past few years following the fall of former dictator Saddam Hussein’s regime.
