Official Hails Quran Exhibition as a ‘Cultural Call to Prayer’
Hojat-ol-Islam Hamid Reza Arbab Soleimani, the exhibition’s director and deputy for Quran and Etrat at Iran’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, spoke to IQNA on the sidelines of the event on Friday.
“The exhibition offers great variety,” Arbab Soleimani said. “It includes sections for children, research and scientific discussions, artificial intelligence applications, and artistic displays, which have attracted significant attention.”
Drawing an analogy to the Islamic call to prayer, he emphasized that the exhibition should inspire action.
“Just as we rise for worship when we hear the morning call to prayer, this exhibition should prompt a similar response—encouraging new ideas, exchanging experiences, and fostering a culture of Quranic engagement,” he said.

He noted that the strong participation of both children and adults reflects a growing societal interest in Quranic activities. “This enthusiasm shows that people are eager for Quranic programs. The more we present them with fresh, creative approaches, the more their connection to the Quran will grow,” he stated.
“First comes companionship with the Quran, then contemplation, and ultimately, action based on its teachings,” he added.
The exhibition opened on Wednesday and will run until March 16. Those willing to visit the Quranic event can go to the Imam Khomeini Mosalla every day from 4 PM to 11 PM.
