At the beginning of the ceremony, the video message of the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly was broadcast.<\/p>\n

Unique reception of the World Prize 114<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his message on the Quranic activities after the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Ayatollah Ramazani said, \u201cDuring the 42 years after the Islamic Revolution of Iran, great measures have been taken about the Quran. In the scientific and academic fields, valuable activities have been done in establishing disciplines related to the Tafsir and sciences of the Quran and research institutes. Researchers have done extensive research on various Quranic topics, and have presented them to the scientific and international community. However, despite the measures taken, not a drop of the boundless ocean of the Quran has been depicted yet. The Quran is an infinite manifestation of God Almighty and must be addressed from time to time with newer details. There are also magnificent activities and works of art related to the Quran in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis valuable initiative, with its unparalleled reception, and the 500 magnificent works that were participated in from around the world, and judged by strong judges, could be a blessed start,\u201d he said regarding the first World Prize 114.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important that the followers of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) all over the world become more acquainted with the Quran, and have a connection with this divine book. Because the Quran is a book of salvation for the human world, and if man wants to be liberated, he must use this book as a source,\u201d added the professor of higher levels of the Islamic seminary of Qom.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 500 works submitted to 1st \u201cWorld Prize 114\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Referring to the objectives for launching \u201cWorld Prize 114\u201d, Hojat al-Islam Dr. Mohammad Javad Zarean, Deputy for International Affairs of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, said, \u201cIn addition to the international Quranic activities carried out by various institutions, the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly decided to have a special program for the Shiite communities and to promote the Quranic status of the Shiites. Therefore, \u201cWorld Prize 114\u201d was planned in this regard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the \u201cWorld Prize 114\u201d, Shiites around the world were asked to submit their works, so that the selected works would be honored after judging. With the least public announcement, and in less than four months, more than 500 works were submitted to the Prize Secretariat, many of which were valuable works. Out of 500 submitted works, about 200 works in the first judging, and 14 works in the final judging, were selected as the best works,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Features of the World Prize 114<\/strong><\/p>\n

Explaining the works submitted to the first \u201cWorld Prize 114\u201d, Hossein Asadi, the chairman of the jury board of the competition, stated \u201cMore than 500 works were submitted to the Secretariat, which was unexpected. Most of the competition activities were during Ramadan and this amount of reception was very good. The submitted works were evaluated in three stages with the presence of judges of world Quranic figures, and 22 works made it to the final stage, of which 14 works were selected and will be honored in the current session.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attractiveness of the competition disciplines is in a new way and in the field of propagation-promotion, clips, motion graphics, radio productions, photo-text, etc. Propagation activities, Minbar and religious lectures, Quranic circles, holding Quranic home meetings, reciting Quranic Juz\u2019s, Islamic teaching classes, and Tafsir were also part of the competition. Many users have the potential to generate content in cyberspace but they should be encouraged. During the first \u201cWorld Prize 114\u201d we saw that there are many talents among the followers of the AhlulBayt (a.s.),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

At the end of his speech, Asadi expressed his hope that with the establishment of the \u201cQuranic Growth and Excellence Club 114\u201d, such promotional and encouraging measures will continue.<\/p>\n

The formation of the Islamic Republic of Iran was based on the Quran<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the closing ceremony of the \u201cWorld Prize 114\u201d, Dr. Mostafavi, the Head of the Quran Committee of the International Cultural Policy Council of the Office of the Supreme Leader said, \u201c\u201cThe Pahlavi regime wanted the Quran to remain abandoned. While the Islamic Republic of Iran was formed based on Quranic values. The officials of the Islamic Republic, the laws, as well as the structures are all based on Quranic values. The Islamic Republic of Iran makes every effort to implement the Quran in the field of knowledge and behavior of individuals and society. Introducing the Quran and deepening the Quranic knowledge through educational and artistic programs of the media and magazines, as well as the transmission of Quranic knowledge and getting acquaintance with this divine book is on the agenda of the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we see that Quranic courses are included in various fields from elementary school to the end of seminary and university education. There are Quranic teachers and glorious books about the teachings of the Quran. Also, Quranic dissertations and researches in our seminaries and universities are very honorable,\u201d Dr. Mostafavi emphasized.<\/p>\n

The story of compiling the book \u201cAl-Mukhtasar Al-Mufid Fi Tafsit al-Quran al-Majid\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ayatollah Mohammad Saeed Al-No\u2019mani the chairman of the Islamic Thought Association stated in the final part of the ceremony, \u201cThe book \u201cAl-Mukhtasar Al-Mufid Fi Tafsir Al-Quran Al-Majid\u201d is a memento of our teacher, the Grand Ayatollah Sayed Mohammad Baqer Sadr, who suggested writing this Tafsir to the late Ayatollah Taskhiri.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the victory of the Islamic Revolution, Tafsir of 10 Juz\u2019s of the Holy Quran were written. But after the Revolution, due to Ayatollah Taskhiri\u2019s occupation, completing the other Juz\u2019s of Quran postponed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt last, the late Ayatollah Taskhiri and I came concluded that we should perform \u201cI\u2019tekaf\u201d, that is, put aside other works in order to complete this specialized and useful Tafsir, and finally it happened,\u201d said the Iraqi scholar.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

The final part of the closing ceremony of the first \u201cWorld Prize 114\u201d was honoring of two ver-lasting figures. In this ceremony, 14 selected persons and works were appreciated in the category of the Quranic institutes and centers, as well as Quranic preachers and activists, and these winners were awarded plaques, statues and prizes.
