Forum in Tehran to discuss ‘fighting arrogance in view of Quran’

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A forum is planned to be held in Tehran to discuss ‘fighting arrogance in view of Quranic foundations’.

The Dar-ol-Quran Organization will hold the event on the occasion of the Day of Fighting Global Arrogance.

It will be attended by Quran experts, veteran Quran activists, and managers of Quranic organizations.

Iranian scholar Hassan Rahimpour Azghadi will address the forum, slated for Wednesday morning.

He will talk about fighting arrogance on the basis of verses of the Holy Quran and Hadiths.

His speech will be followed by a question and answer session.

This Thursday, November 4, will mark the anniversary of the US embassy seizure, which marks the Day of Fighting Global Arrogance.

On November 4, 1979, less than a year after the victory of the Islamic Revolution that toppled a US-backed monarchy, Iranian university students who called themselves “students following the line of (the late) Imam (Khomeini)’ seized the US embassy in Tehran, which had become a center of espionage and planning to overthrow the newly established Islamic system in Iran.

The students who seized the embassy later published documents proving that the compound was indeed engaged in plans and measures to overthrow the Islamic Republic.

Every year on the 13th day of the Iranian month of Aban, the Iranian nation, especially students, hold rallies across the country to mark the day.
