AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The head of Iran’s Awqaf and Charity Affairs Organization said the path of understanding perfection and salvation passes through the Quran.
There is no other way to understand the path of perfection than resorting to the Holy Book, Hojat-ol-Islam Seyed Mehdi Khamoushi said, addressing the closing ceremony of Iran’s 47th National Quran Competition in Tabriz on Thursday.
Underlining the importance of the Quran, he cited Verse 21 of Surah Al-Hashr, “Had We sent down this Koran upon a mountain, you would have seen it humble itself and split asunder for fear of Allah.”
He added that the Quran offers a perfect model, namely the Holy prophet (PBUH) for us to reach perfection.
The Prophet (PBUH) is the best model for those who believe in God and the Day of Judgment.
He emphasized that we must turn to the Quran and move towards it, making the attaining of perfection a reality, and that in this regard, it is necessary for our homes and communities to embody Quranic and Fatemi values.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Hojat-ol-Islam Khamoushi stated that the Awqaf Organization, which holds the Quran competition annually, serves the Quran.
He noted that that this year’s national competition slogan, namely “The Holy Quran, a roadmap to perfection with the Fatimi model,” was thoughtfully chosen.
The final round of the competition in different categories in the men’s section concluded on Wednesday, and winners were announced and awarded at the closing ceremony today.
