Karbala Center Holding Quranic Courses for Girl Students on Fridays
Minar al-Jabouri is the head of the center, which is affiliated to the Astan (custodianship) of the holy shrine of Hazrat Abbas (AS).
She said 420 girls are currently learning the Quran, taking different courses of the center, according to Qafqn.org website.
The courses are held weekly, only on Fridays in order not to adversely affect the students’ school education, al-Jabouri added.
Currently, 32 courses are being held by the center in fields such as Quran memorization and recitation, she noted.
Quranic activities have significantly developed in Iraq since the 2003 overthrow of former dictator Saddam Hussein.
There has been a growing trend of Quranic programs such as competitions, recitation sessions and educational programs held in the country in recent years.
