Iran’s Quranic Community to Renew Allegiance with Imam Khomeini’s Ideals
Mehdi Qarasheikhlu, head of the Dar-ol-Quran Kareem Organization, the visit will come on Wednesday, January 30, two days before the start of the celebrations.
He said Hojat-ol-Islam Seyed Hassan Khomeini, the custodian of the mausoleum will be present at the ceremony in which members of the Quranic community lay a wreath on the tomb of the late Imam and recite prayers.
It will also include a Quran recitation session and inauguration of the mausoleum’s Quran center, Qarasheikhlu went on to say.
Every year, Quran activists, Qaris, memorizers, and Quranic officials visit the mausoleum ahead of the Ten-Day Fajr celebrations to renew allegiance with the ideals of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
