Number of Dar-ol-Quran Centers of Iran’s Basij Exceeds 300

IQNA – Iran’s Basij Organization has established more than 300 Dar-ol-Quran centers across the country.

According to the organization’s statistics, the number of the centers has reached 310.

The Razavi Khorasan Province has the highest number of Dar-ol-Quran centers, 37, followed by the provinces of Fars, Isfahan and Khuzestan.

Adding Quranic education capacity to the country’s educational fields, the enhancement of the Quranic education environment, the employment of Quran instructors, and the creation of opportunities for training Quran teachers throughout the year are among the achievements of these Quranic centers.

Raising the number of the Dar-ol-Quran centers across the country to 500 is one of the goals of the Basij organization in the field of Quranic education.

Basij is a paramilitary volunteer force established in 1979 on the order of Imam Khomeini (RA), the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The force consists of often young Iranians, who have volunteered, with a strong sense of fidelity to both the Islamic system and the religious beliefs.
