The cooperation of all cultural institutions in “Life with the verses” is ideal and model

Mehr News Agency- Religion and Thought Group-Nourizadeh Ghasri: One of the organizations in the field of Qur'anic activities is the Endowment and Charity Organization. As one of the most important cultural and religious institutions in Iran, it plays a significant role in promoting Quranic activities and developing Quranic culture in society.

The Qur'anic activities of the Endowment and Charity Organization began in the early years after the Islamic Revolution. Given the mission of the organization in the preservation and development of religious endowments and sites, Quranic activities have been one of the main focus of the organization's work. The main purpose of these activities was to promote Qur'anic culture and use religious capacities to promote the spirituality of society. Given the organization's mission to preserve and develop endowments and religious sites, Quranic activities as one of the most effective ways to promote religious and Quranic culture in society. Were selected. In the holy shrine, programs such as recitation and interpretation of the Qur'an, circles with the Qur'an, and Quranic teachings are held, especially for adolescents and youth. These programs have made the holy shrine into important cultural and Quranic bases in society.

The Endowment and Charity Organization, as the main guardian of the national and international Quran competitions in Iran, has played an important role in identifying and nurturing Quranic talents. The competition is held every year with the presence of Qarians, keepers and commentators of the Qur'an from all over the country and the world and is recognized as one of the most important Quranic events in the Islamic world.

On the eve of the holy month of Ramadan, the month of revelation, and to examine the Qur'anic actions of the Endowment Organization, we had a conversation with Hamid Majidi Mehr, director of the Center for Qur'anic Affairs and Charity.

*Given that the year started with Ramadan and ended with another Ramadan, how did this start and end of the year affect the volume and quality of Quranic activities?

As you said, the year is a special year in the field of Qur'anic activities, as both the beginning and the end of Ramadan coincide. This synchronization has led many of the programs to be redefined and redeemed in the implementation and content. This year, the holy month of Ramadan witnessed very good Quranic activities throughout the country, especially in the media. National Media (IRIB) and other audiovisual media such as Mehr News Agency and other news agencies were able to succeed in this field.

This coincidence made our Quranic programs focused on Ramadan from the beginning to the end of the year. Many programs have been redefined so that they can match the spiritual atmosphere of this month. For example, our media programs during Ramadan became much more bold and targeted.

In the field of field activities, programs such as “living with verses” were considered. The program was also honored by the supreme leader, and all the devices participated in its implementation. In fact, the program was not the focus of the program with a specific entity, but all the institutions cooperated in its implementation. This is the ideal point we should mention as a model. For example, if the endowment organization is known today as the guardian of the Qur'an of the Islamic Republic of Iran, it is better for this organization to play only a coordinator and all institutions participate in the implementation of the programs.

*What features did the program “Life with the Verses” that were of interest to the revolutionary leader?

The program was able to run well because of the comprehensive participation of various institutions and agencies. Its content was also designed to be directly related to the daily lives of people and was able to make a huge impact on society. This year, very good Quranic activities were carried out in the Imamzadeh and the holy shrine across the country. Due to the existence of two holy monuments in the country, these places have a huge capacity for cultural and Quranic activities. The supreme leader has also emphasized that the Imams should become the cultural hub of the country. In this regard, new work has begun in the atmosphere of the holy shrine, including the recitation and interpretation of the Qur'an, which are known as the missing link of Quranic activities. Also, circles of the Qur'an and basic training such as reading and Reading The Qur'an was held especially for teens and youth. These actions have made the blessed religious and Qur'anic bases among the people.

*What actions were taken in the holy shrine that paves the way for the conversion of these places into a cultural hub?

We held programs such as recitation and interpretation of the Qur'an, the Qur'an with the Qur'an and basic training in the holy shrine. These programs have made people, especially adolescents and young people, become more familiar with the Qur'an and become cultural and Quranic bases.

In the holy month of Ramadan, extensive titles were held across the country. More than 5 % of the Imamzadehs were regularly in the field of titration, and all the blessed Imams and the holy shrine were under the burden of Quranic activities. Provincial titillations were also broadcast every day on national media networks, indicating the importance and extent of these activities.

How could provincial titles become a central program?

Provincial titles were able to become a central program because of the broadcast of national media networks. These programs were welcomed not only in the provinces but also at the national level and were able to hear the message of the Qur'an.

Holding Quran competitions, especially internationally, has challenges, one of which is the conflict between popularization and specialization of competitions.

One of the most important Quranic activities in the country is the official Quran competitions of the Islamic Republic of Iran at national and international level. These competitions are not only an honor for the Islamic Republic, but also represent the Qur'anic. Foreign participants also acknowledge this and transfer their experiences to their countries.

This year, the forty -seventh edition of the Holy Quran was held. This period took on a special color and smell due to the martyrdom of the martyrs of Ayatollah Raisi and the martyrs of the service and dedicated to the martyrs of the service. This course was one of the prominent courses in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran in terms of popularity and elite participation.

*What were the features of the forty -seventh Quran competitions?

This period became a prominent period due to the widespread popularity and elite participation. Also, this period to the martyrs of the service has made the competitions a special color and smell and had a greater impact on the community. Holding Quran competitions, especially internationally, has challenges. One of these challenges is the conflict between popularization and specialization of the competitions. On the one hand, the Qur'an must be exposed to the public to attract more enthusiasts, and on the other hand, the specialized level of competitions must be maintained so that the Qarians and the superior keepers can participate. To solve this challenge, the Supreme Headquarters has tried to accompany the people at a point Channel Slow and get a good output.

*How to balance the popularization and specialization of competitions?

We must expose the Qur'an to the general public to attract more enthusiasts, but at the same time maintain the specialized level of competitions. This requires careful planning and comprehensive participation of different institutions and agencies.

How can the media be effective in promoting Quranic activities?

The media, especially news agencies, play an important role in guiding people towards Quranic activities. Creating motivational components for people, such as the possibility of families in competitions and holding side exhibitions, can help increase public participation. Media, with widespread coverage of Quranic activities and creating motivational components, can attract people to these activities. Also, side exhibitions and special programs can help increase public participation.

The International Quran Competition of the Islamic Republic of Iran is in the circuit of growth today and is close to the summit of success. These competitions are known not only as a specialized event, but also as a messenger of the Qur'an and the Qur'anic system of the Islamic Republic. Participants and international referees also acknowledge this, and many of them have been promoting and promoting this message in their countries after being in Iran.

*What message does the International Quran Competition of the Islamic Republic convey to the world?

These competitions convey the message of the Qur'an and the Qur'anic system of the Islamic Republic to the world. International participants and referees also acknowledge this and pass their experiences to their countries. It was a prolific year in the field of Quranic activities. It started in the holy month of Ramadan and will end with the holy month of Ramadan. This year showed that with the help of institutions, public participation and the use of media capacities, Quranic activities could be upgraded to a new level. It is hoped that in the coming years we will see further growth and influence on society.
