“World Quran Day” Can Turn to Axis of Unity among Muslims

A world Quran day could promote unity among Islamic countries, an Iranian cleric told IQNA. Seyyed Saeed Sarabi, head of department for promoting Quranic activities in Khorasan Razavi province, added that the holy Quran has always been the axis of solidarity for all Muslims. "If Muslim countries come together and agree on naming a day as the World Quran Day, it will pave the way for further proximity of Islamic countries, " Sarabi said. Referring to the fact that, at present, some Islamic countries are not willing to establish bilateral relations because of sour political issues, he underlined that cultural moves such holding international Quran competitions and Quran exhibitions can fill the gap and provide the opportunity for thawing the ice. Further in his remarks, Mr. Sarabi emphasized that at the face of growing insults by western media against the sanctities of Islam, Muslims should launch extensive cultural moves to foil such attempts, and agreeing on a specific day as the World Quran Day would be a step in this respect.
