Qassem Moqaddami among Iranian Qaris Reciting Quran in Karbala during 2025 Arbaeen

IQNA – Qassem Moghaddami is a prominent Iranian qari who was part of the Arbaeen Quranic convoy this year.

He recited the Quran along the Arbaeen walking route and in numerous Moukebs (service stations) and at the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (AS) in Karbala.

This year’s Arbaeen Quranic convoy, known as the “Imam Reza (AS)” Quranic convoy, comprised more than 80 qaris and Quran memorizers, including reciters from 13 different nationalities.

The Arbaeen mourning ceremony, which fell on August 14 this year, is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world.

It marks the 40th day after Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of the grandson of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), Imam Hussein (AS).

Each year, a huge crowd of Shias flock to Karbala, where the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (AS) is located, to perform mourning rites.

The pilgrims, mainly from Iraq and Iran, travel long routes on foot to the holy city.

Iran also sends a Quranic convoy to Iraq during the Arbaeen procession.

The members of the convoy perform different Quranic and religious programs, including recitation of the Quran, Adhan (call to prayers), and Tawasheeh, on the road between Najaf and Karbala and elsewhere during the Arbaeen march.

This year’s convoy operates under the title of Imam Reza (AS) Convoy.
