One of the officials at Shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.) said that main objective of Ramadan program is explanation of Quranic lifestyle in the country. He added that we intend to organize biggest Qur’anic program (throughout the country) of Islamic world in addition to holy Shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.)
He by stating that Ramadhan programs are based on Quranic lifestyle with approach of familiarity with Quran, said "Focus of Cultural propagative programs of Imam Reza Shrine (as) is familiarity and contemplation in Quran".
Hujjat al islam Husseini noted that explanation of Islamic teachings, self-purification, introduction to Nahjol Balagha and Sahifa-e-Sajjadia is considered from other basic approaches in the holy month of Ramadhan.
