AhlulBayt News Agency: A unique handwritten Quran, penned by Arbaeen pilgrims, is on display at the Abbasid Shrine booth at the 32nd Tehran International Quran Exhibition.
At the 32nd Tehran International Holy Quran Exhibition, the booth of the Quran Scientific Assembly, affiliated with the shrine of Hazrat Abbas (AS), is showcasing the "Thamara al-Arba'in Bi-Amanil al-Zairin" (The Quran Manuscript by the Hands of the Arbaeen Pilgrims).
This unique handwritten Quran, created by participants of the Arbaeen pilgrimage, is being displayed for the public. It was completed in the year 1444 AH.
The booth also features the first through sixth editions of the Al-Mushaf al-Abbasi, which were handwritten by the renowned Iraqi calligrapher, Hamid al-Saadi. These editions are notable for being the first Quran copies written by an Iraqi calligrapher.
A replica of the shrine of Abbas ibn Ali (AS) adds a special touch to the booth, evoking memories of the golden shrine in Karbala.
Visitors are invited to place their names in a special container for a chance to participate in a lottery to win a green flag from the shrine.
Additionally, the booth displays various Quranic projects and activities of the shrine, such as the Quran memorization initiative, the "Houses of Light" program, summer Quran memorization courses, and Quranic stations at the Arbaeen pilgrimage.
Publications by the shrine, covering topics like Quran sciences, exegesis, miraculous aspects of the Quran, eloquence, and Quranic stories, are also available for viewing. One of the standout works is the 17-volume Al-Tafseer al-Manhaji li al-Quran al-Kareem (The Methodical Exegesis of the Holy Quran).
An Arabic calligraphy workshop is held at the booth, where attendees can view calligraphy of Quranic verses, Hadiths, and special phrases related to the Ahl al-Bayt (AS).
The 32nd International Quran Exhibition began on Wednesday, March 5, with the theme "The Quran, the Path of Life" at Imam Khomeini Mosalla in Tehran and will run until Sunday, March 16.
Countries such as Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, Russia, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ivory Coast, and more are participating in the exhibition, showcasing their Quranic artworks and calligraphy.
The exhibition is held every year in the holy month of Ramadan by the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.
