Iran, Iraq Mull Holding Joint Quran Exhibition in Karbala
A delegation from the Astan (custodianship) of Imam Hussein (AS), led by Sheikh Hassan al-Mansouri, advisor to director of Astan's Quranic affairs, has travelled to Iran to discuss bilateral ties with Iranian institutes.
IQNA was informed that the delegation held a meeting with the head and members of Iran's Center for Quran Printing and Publishing.
The sides discussed the prospects of staging an international Quran exhibition in Karbala’s Bein-ol-Haramein.
The exhibition will be part of programs for the World Quran Day which is slated to be marked concurrent with Eid al- Mabath (the Day Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was appointed to deliver His mission), which falls on March 1, 2022.
The exhibition will showcase different mushafs of Quran in various sizes while also putting a number of related works of art on display.
The Astan (custodianship) of Imam Hussein (AS) holy shrine launched the initiative of World Quran Day last year, aiming at promoting the teachings of the Quran and contemplating the Holy Book, boosting unity in the Muslim Ummah and familiarizing followers of other religions with the Holy Book.
It also launched a campaign to promote activities marking the world Quran day, including recitations of the Quran.
