On first day of the holy month of Ramadan, the month of revelation, a Quranic recitation gathering was held.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei attended this particular congregation that consisted of eight outstanding memorizers, reciters and scholars of the holy Quran from across the nation. The talented presenters recited verses from the holy Quran and choirs recited tributes of praise and worship for the Lord.
Ayatollah Khamenei commenced his speech by paying tribute to the Quran reciters and pilgrims martyred during the Mina stampede of Hajj 2015.
His Eminence then described the beauty and eloquence of the Quranic gathering in terms of a miracle. He related the gathering to an entrance or door in which one is absorbed by the soaring and eloquent expressions of the holy Quran.
Ayatollah Khamenei stressed on the necessity of promoting these Quranic meetings across the country, expressing contentment for the promotion of Quranic circles, particularly among the youth.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution pointed to the reality that the world, in its current conditions, is in an increasing need of Quranic concepts by adding: “If the inspiring concepts of the Quran are delivered to people in the modern language, it will certainly be very effective. It will prepare the groundwork for genuine progression of humankind; dignity, wellbeing, spiritual elevation, expansion of thought and belief, felicity and peace of the soul are all tied into behaving in harmony with the Quran. If these concepts are delivered the Quran will spread its influence on the world; the major powers, their weapons, nor can the Zionist regime threaten that influence.”
Finally, His Eminence described spiritual and religious peace as one of the blessings in gaining acquaintance with Quranic concepts and added: “This peace will prepare the ground for consolidating one’s faith in the Greatness of God and His Divine power.”
