Participants who complete the course will receive an official Quran teaching certificate.
The course will be led by prominent instructors, including Hojat-ol-Islam Ali Ghaseemi, an international Quran teacher and director of the Quran and Hadith Center, and Hojat-ol-Islam Ali Reza Mirjalili, an author and international Quran instructor fluent in multiple languages.
Providing context about Brazil, Mirjalili described it as the largest and most populous country in South America, with over 220 million residents. While predominantly Catholic, Brazil supports religious freedom and hosts over 10 million Muslims, mostly of Arab descent. Around 40% of the Muslim population identify as Shia, and the Iranian community is estimated at fewer than 5,000 individuals, he said.
