(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Ramadan is regarded as the spring of the Quran, and the organization aims to introduce the Holy Quran to different nations with a series of programs, ICRO director Mohammad-Baqer Khorramshad said here on Tuesday.
A series of programs are arranged for the week including exhibitions of calligraphy, photography, and illumination with the central theme of the Quran along with Quran recitation, he added.
Britain, Sweden, France, Canada, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, Malaysia and Tunisia are among the countries which are hosting the cultural weeks, Khorramshad said.
He also said that some of the weeks are arranged in collaboration with other cultural organizations such as Quran week in Turkey. Organized by the Isfahan General Governor’s Office, the event features Isfahani artists who are introducing the art and culture of the city.
Khorramshad also said that the cultural weeks in Indonesia and Malaysia are much more special where a rare hand-woven Quranic carpet is on display in an exhibition in Malaysia.
He continued, “Cultural parcels are among other programs of the organization, which have been submitted to Iran’s cultural representatives in foreign countries to pass on to Iranians residing in foreign countries. The parcels contain software and computer games with Quranic concepts.”
A group of religious preachers are also dispatched to foreign countries where they will be present to preach and reply to any religious questions the Iranians might have.
