Iranian Qari Stresses Making Most of Hajj Spirituality

IQNA – An Iranian qari who is a member of the country’s Hajj Quranic convoy highlighted the need for making the most of the spiritual atmosphere during the Hajj pilgrimage.

Vahid Barati told IQNA that benefiting from the spirituality dominating Hajj can help members of the Quranic delegation in their recitations. 

He said the Quranic convoy represents the Islamic Republic of Iran and, therefore, the members must try to demonstrate their best in all aspects, including acting upon the teachings of the Holy Quran.

Trying to have the best conduct in terms of both their behavior and their Quran recitation is a responsibility of the members of the convoy, he stated.

If they act upon the teachings of the Holy Quran, their recitation will tough the hearts and souls of the listeners, he added.

The Iranian qari also stressed the need for them to get prepared for the mission just as they prepare themselves for international Quran competitions by improving their Quranic skills and updating their knowledge.

Barati, who is from the city of Birjand in the eastern province of South Khorasan, started learning Quran recitation at the age of 6.

He then left Birjand to reside in Tehran in order to benefit from the expertise of the country’s best Quran experts and teachers.

Every year millions of Muslims from around the world gather in the holy city for the annual Hajj.

Iran also sends pilgrims as well as a groups of Quran activists, known as the Noor Hajj Delegation.

The members of the delegation hold Quranic programs, including Quran recitation session for the pilgrims in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
