The Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “From the point of view of those who have meticulously studied the Quran from various aspects, this divine book is a miracle. Epistemological, ethical, scientific, anthropological, cultural, and everything that can play a role in guiding human beings are mentioned in the Quran.”

The closing ceremony of the first “World Prize 114” was held in the conference hall of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Qom, in full compliance with health protocols due to Covid-19.

At the beginning of the ceremony, the video message of the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly was broadcast.

Appreciating the organizers and participants in the first “World Prize 114”, Ayatollah Reza Ramazani stated, “The Muslim community must become more and more acquainted with the Quran. Because the Quran is the book of the law, humanity, guidance, Dhikr and also a savior for the individual, society, and family.”

“If one wants to achieve true felicity, and spiritual, intellectual richness in all dimensions and areas of existence, it is not feasible without the Quran. The Quran is the manifestation of the Almighty. According to the real needs of man, the Almighty God has provided for man in the Quran what leads him to spiritual growth and development, and has mentioned the laws related to them,” he continued.

“The Quran has been concerned by proponents and opponents since its revelation. The opponents always tried to criticize it. But so far, they have not been able to. Some have thought that they can bring the Quran into question. This is while God says in the Quran: “وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي رَيْبٍ مِمَّا نَزَّلْنَا عَلَىٰ عَبْدِنَا فَأْتُوا بِسُورَةٍ مِنْ مِثْلِهِ” (And if you are in doubt concerning that which We reveal to Our slave (Muhammad), then produce a surah of the like thereof.) (Quran, Surah: Al-Baqarah, Verse: 23),” continued the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

“From the point of view of those who have meticulously studied the Quran from various aspects, this divine book is a miracle. Epistemological, ethical, scientific, anthropological, cultural, and everything that can play a role in guiding human beings are mentioned in the Quran,” he said.

“During the 42 years after the Islamic Revolution of Iran, great measures have been taken about the Quran. In the scientific and academic fields, valuable activities have been done in establishing disciplines related to the Tafsir and sciences of the Quran and research institutes. Researchers have done extensive research on various Quranic topics, and have presented them to the scientific and international community. However, despite the measures taken, not a drop of the boundless ocean of the Quran has been depicted yet. The Quran is an infinite manifestation of God Almighty and must be addressed from time to time with newer details. There are also magnificent activities and works of art related to the Quran in the world,” said Ayatollah Ramazani on Quranic activities after the Islamic Revolution of Iran.

“This valuable initiative, with its unparalleled reception, and the 500 magnificent works that were participated in from around the world, and judged by strong judges, could be a blessed start,” he said regarding the first World Prize 114.

“It is important that the followers of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) all over the world become more acquainted with the Quran, and have a connection with this divine book. Because the Quran is a book of salvation for the human world, and if man wants to be liberated, he must use this book as a source,” added the professor of higher levels of the Islamic seminary of Qom.

“On the anniversary of the demise of the great Quranic commentator, Ayatollah Taskhiri, we honor his memory. He was the eloquent spokesman of Islam and Shia. May God unites all those who have served the Quran with the Quran, and increase the love for the Quran among Muslims, and eradicate vicious Covid-19 virus, which has plagued human society, and may health return to all humanity,” he concluded.
