Iranian Qaris in China
Mehdi Gholamnejad and Seyed Mostafa Hosseini have been sent to China on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan.
They will be staying in the country during the last ten days of the holy month (ends on Wednesday, July 6), Gholamnejad told IQNA.
He said they have recited the Quran in mosques in Beijing, Linxia and Lanzhou.
According to the Iranian Quran reciter, Muslims in these cities have warmly welcomed the recitations.
Every year during Ramadan, the month of Quran, Iran dispatches Quranic groups to different countries to perform Quranic programs with the aim of fostering the Quranic culture and teachings.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast as an effective way of practicing self-discipline. They are also expected to strengthen their character through self-restraint, charitable-giving and introspection.
Reading, reciting and contemplating the Holy Quran is also a major activity for Muslims during the holy month.
