Summer Quranic Courses Planned in Najaf
According to the website of the Astan, 20 mosques and husseiniyahs (public halls for religious ceremonies) in different parts of the city will host the educational programs planned by the Religious Affairs Section of the Astan.
Hojat-ol-Islam Mustafa Abultabouq, the head of the section, said that the courses will be held from July 1 to August 1.
Children and teenagers from 10 to 15 years of age can take the courses.
The Astan has been very active in recent years in terms of holding Quranic programs in Najaf and other parts of Iraq.
Quranic activities have significantly developed in Iraq since the 2003 overthrow of former dictator Saddam Hussein.
There has been a growing trend of Quranic programs such as competitions, recitation sessions and educational programs held in the country over the past few years.
