Quranic Stations Installed in Najaf Ahead of Safar 28th

TEHRAN (IQNA) - Five Quranic stations have been established in the city of Najaf as people are set to participate in mourning ceremonies for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the coming days.

The stations are set to offer various Quranic programs to pilgrims including the correct reading of Surah Al-Fatiha and other short surahs.

Held by a center affiliated with the Astan of Hazrat Abbas (AS), the stations will feature more than 25 Quranic experts, qaris, and memorizers.
