Tarteel Recitation of Entire Quran by Iraqi Qari Released
The Najaf-based center, which is affiliated to Iraq’s Shia Awqaf Department, has recorded the recitation in 120 parts each lasting 30 minutes.
The recording of the recitations took the center and the Qari some six months to complete.
The series has been made with consultations with experts in Egypt’s Al-Azhar Islamic Center.
A delegation from the National Quranic Sciences Center recently gifted the series to Hojat-ol-Islam Sayed Ala al-Mousawi, head of the Shia Awqaf Department.
Quranic activities have significantly developed in Iraq since the 2003 overthrow of former dictator Saddam Hussein.
There has been a growing trend of Quranic programs such as competitions, recitation sessions and educational programs held in the country in recent years.
