Hawzah News Agency - Quran recitations by the Iranian qaris, Hamed Shakernejad and Ahmad Abolqassemi, were warmly received by the people at the mosque.

It was one of the Ramadan Quranic events organized in four cities in Indonesia with the cooperation of Iran’s Islamic Culture and Relations Organization, the Cultural Attaché of the Iranian Embassy in Indonesia, and the Mahfel TV Show.

The speakers at this event called on all Quranic institutions to expand their educational and promotional programs in order to strengthen the role of the Quran in the social lives of Muslims.

In his address at the beginning of this ceremony, Shakernajad, who has recently been named Iran’s Quranic Ambassador, emphasized the importance of reciting and memorizing the Quran in the Islamic community, praising Indonesia’ efforts in this area as a commendable model.

He also urged attendees to strengthen their connection with the Quran by taking advantage of the spiritual atmosphere of Ramadan.

He stressed the need for all segments of society to honor the month of Ramadan and noted that Quranic diplomacy, especially in Islamic countries like Iran and Indonesia, plays a key role in fostering empathy and bringing hearts together among nations.

Referring to the enemies’ efforts to sow discord among Muslims worldwide, he said the Islamic Republic of Iran has always been a guardian of the unity of the Islamic world and develops its relations with all countries based on mutual respect and cultural-religious cooperation.

On Sunday, the two Quran reciters attended a large Quranic gathering held at the iconic Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta.
