Enemy Aware of Quran’s Civilization-Making Mission
Mohammad Sadeq Elmi, a professor at the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, made the remark in an interview with IQNA about the recent riots in Iran during which copies of the Quran were desecrated and mosques and holy sites were burned.
Such a confrontation with the Holy book and desecration of it indicates that the enemies are afraid of it, he stated.
He noting that revealing the ignorance of the enemies is the reason for their enmity with the Book of God.
This hostility has existed in different eras and they have used every means to undermine and harm the status of Islam’s Holy Book but all their attempts have failed, Elmi said.
When the Holy Prophet (PBUH) read the Quran in Mecca, the Mushrikin (polytheists) would make sounds so that no one could hear him, the scholar said, adding that it happened again and again in different forms and with different means in the following eras.
Asked about the responsibility of the Quranic community to confront the enemy attacks on the Holy Book, Elmi said they should raise their awareness and knowledge about Quranic teachings and try to materialize the goals that the Holy Book has introduced.
Violent rioters vandalized public and private properties in a number of cities across Iran on Thursday and Friday, killing some ordinary people and security forces and inflicting injuries on others.
