Addressing the event, the head of religious affairs of the Grand Mosque of Kufa Shiekh Hadi Zangil called for clinging to the teachings of the Holy Quran.
Pointing to the life of Hazrat Zeynab (SA), he said that according to historians, she had been holding sessions on the Quran contemplation in her home in Kufa.
Among the aims of the mosque, he continued, are holding various Quranic contests and boosting the relation of students with their religious identity.
Whenever Muslims approached the Holy Qur'an, they were honored, and whenever they turned away from it, they fell into humiliation, he said.
