The program was held at the Iranian Cultural Center in the Kenyan capital on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan.
A number of Kenyan clerics and Muslims as well as staff of the Iranian embassy and their families attended the event.
Qorban Ali Pourmarjan, Iran’s Cultural Attaché, addressed the program, saying that the Quran is always significant for Muslims, but during the blessed month of Ramadan, which is the month of divine hospitality, it takes on central importance.
“Reading the Quran, listening to it, and acting upon its teachings should be our top priority (in this month),” he said.
The Quran should not be neglected in Muslim families and the Islamic community, as it is a divine book and one of the two trusts (the Quran and Etrat) that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) left for Muslims after him as a legacy, he stated.
Pourmarjan went on to say that Muslims must strive to benefit from the teachings of both the divine book and Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) as both are effective together and complement and interpret each other.
