4,000 Qaris Ready to Contribute to Iran’s Nat’l Quranic Plan

IQNA – More than 4,000 qaris have announced their readiness to take part in a national Quranic initiative in Iran, an official said.

Mehdi Moqaddam, the art and cultural deputy of the Mosques’ Centers Coordination Committee, said the plan, dubbed “Mosque; A Quranic Base”, has already been launched in 3760 mosques across the country.

It includes holding regular Quran recitation circles, he noted.

The total number of mosques that are ready to participate in the plan is about 6,000, the official added.

He also said influential Quranic figures of the country are also expected to support and participate in implementing the Quranic plan.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Moqaddam referred to the launch of a data bank of Iranian Quran reciters and said some 2,500 qaris have so far been briefed about the data bank.

The country’s qaris can sign up at the date bank and add their personal information, he said, noting that after their registration is completed, they can upload their Quran recitations there.
