TEHRAN – The 30th edition of the Tehran International Holy Qur’an Exhibition has concluded after two weeks of hosting various Qura’nic activities.

Qur’an translation, poetry and literature, international, civilization-making mosque, family and Qur’anic lifestyle, children, Quran-based consultations, grassroots Qur’anic institutes, Qur’anic education, promotion of the culture of Nahj al-Balagha, promotion of Sahifeh Sajjadiyeh, Qur’anic innovations, religious arts, and religious publications were among the expo’s sections.
The exhibition is annually organized by the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance in the blessed month of Ramadan, with the aim of promoting Qur’anic concepts and developing Qur’anic activities.
It showcases the latest Qur’anic achievements in the country as well as a variety of products dedicated to the promotion of the Holy Book.
