Quran Contests Venues for Visually-Impaired to Showcase Capabilities
Speaking to IQNA, Farzad Heidari, the organization’s management and resources development deputy, said the blind have demonstrated their potentials in every field they enter and one of those fields is international Quran contests.
He added that with self-confidence and recognition of talents and potentials, the blind can make their talents blossom.
Elsewhere, Heidari described the level of the second international Quran competition for the visually-impaired as successful, saying with the experience of the first edition, the organizers made efforts to eliminate the weaknesses.
"According to experts and Quranic masters, the level of the competition (this year) was satisfactory,” he said.
He also hailed the fact that this year’s competition was held in two categories of memorization and recitation of the Quran, as opposed to the first edition in which the participants competed in memorization only.
Heidari referred to initiating and hosting the international Quranic event for the visually-impaired as a source of honor for the country and for the Welfare Organization.
"The Welfare Organization always attaches importance to the issue of (developing) the Quranic culture,” the official stressed, noting that it regularly holds Quranic contests and programs at the city, provincial and nationwide levels.
These efforts have helped those receiving services from the organization to get more acquainted with the culture of the Holy Quran, he went on to say.
The second international Quran competition for the visually-impaired was held in the Iranian capital in late April.
