AhlulBayt News Agency: Iraq’s cultural attaché in Malaysia said the ongoing Restu Global Quranic Arts Festival gives people an opportunity to learn about international Quranic art works.
Speaking to IQNA, Ahlam Nehmah Lafta said such events also help promote Islam and the Holy Quran and encourage families to get closer to the Book of God.
She hailed the Restu foundation for organizing the festival and said the foundation plays a major role in enhancing cultural cooperation among countries.
The cultural envoy also hoped that similar events will be held in Iraq as there are very good artists in the Arab country who are active in Quran related fields.
If such a festival is organized in Iraq, Iran will certainly be invited to take part in it, she went on to say.
The Restu Global Quranic Arts Festival was officially opened in a ceremony in Putrajaya, Malaysia, on January 20, 2023.
It has been organized by a host of Malaysian institutes including the Restu Foundation as well as foreign partners such as the Iranian Cultural Center in Malaysia.
The ten-day festival is open to the public from 9 AM to 6 PM on weekdays and from 9 AM to 9 PM on weekends (Malaysia’s local time).
According to a released program book by the organizers, the event allows visitors to witness special exhibitions, and interact with the Quran and Islamic arts and Islamic products entrepreneurs while also trying to improve the image of Islam as an inclusive and peaceful religion.
Introducing the preservation and prosperity of the Quran, glorifying the teachings of Islam, inviting the community to love knowledge and scholars, utilizing modern technology as an effective preaching medium, and trying to return the Muslim community to their true identity have been named among other objectives of the event.
The festival will have various exhibitions such as artifacts of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions, Kaaba Kiswa, Quran village, the largest Seerah book in the world, and exclusive Restu products.
Restu Global Quranic Arts Festival also includes a host of other events such as Halal hub, sale bazaar, animation festival, kids activities (Batik painting), and bidding on art pieces.
Visitors can also take a tour of the Holy Quran printing factory while also receiving services for disposing of the Quran and other Islamic books.
A host of art workshops, courses, and competitions have been also scheduled during the event.
Iran has also dispatched a delegation, including artists, to the event to introduce its Quranic accomplishments and policies as well as new Quranic technologies.
