Iranian Qari to Attend Quran Recitation Sessions in Sydney
Mohsen Aboutalebi, Iran’s cultural attaché in Australia, told IQNA that Nabi Akram (PBUH) Husseiniya (religious center) in Sydney will host the sessions from the 15th day of Ramadan to the end of the month (June 21- July 5).
He noted that Saberi is an Iranian national currently residing in Sydney, adding that the Quran reciter came first in the third European Quran competition held by the Islamic Center of Hamburg.
Aboutalebi further said that the cities of Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide will also host various religious programs during Ramadan.
The annual fasting month of Ramadan on the Islamic lunar calendar began on June 7 this year.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast as an effective way of practicing self-discipline. They are also expected to strengthen their character through self-restraint, charitable-giving and introspection.
Reading and contemplating the Holy Quran is also a major activity for Muslims during the holy month.
