Foreign Qaris to Attend Quranic Programs in Iran on Anniversary of Islamic Revolution’s Victory
Hamid Majidimehr, head of the Quranic Affairs Center of the Awqaf and Charity Affairs Organization, said the qaris are from Egypt, Tanzania, Iraq, and a number of Southeast Asian countries.
He said they have all confirmed their participation in the upcoming programs.
Every year, millions of Iranians across the country observe ten days of celebrations marking the anniversary of the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution that put an end to the monarchy of the US-backed Pahlavi regime in the country.
The day of Imam Khomeini’s return to Iran (February 1 this year) marks the beginning of the Ten Day Fajr (Ten Days of Dawn), which culminates with rallies on the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution on February 11.
The Iranian nation toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime 45 years ago, ending the 2,500 years of monarchic rule in the country.
The Islamic Revolution spearheaded by the late Imam Khomeini established a new political system based on Islamic values and democracy.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Majidimehr referred to the 46th National Holy Quran Competition, which is underway in the northeastern city of Bojnourd, and hailed the people of the city for warmly receiving the Quranic event.
