Quranic session held at Imam Khomeini's holy mausoleum in Ramadan

A Quranic session has been held at the holy mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic at the start of the blessed month of Ramadan.

A Quranic session has been held at the holy mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic in the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan.

The spiritual gathering at the holy shrine was attended by Quranic reciters, intellectuals, and university and seminary professors and people from various walks of life.

Imam Khomeini’s mausoleum, which is located on southern suburbs of the Iranian capital Tehran, has been turned into a beacon of religious, social and cultural ceremonies in recent months. 

It is worthy to mention that Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic used to attach special significance to reading Quran and reciting supplications during Ramadan.

Imam Khomeini through his historic speeches and messages underscored the importance of reciting Quran and comprehending concepts of its verses during the blessed month of Ramadan, which is a period for self-training and purification. 

A selected phrase form Imam Khomeini's speeches on the revelation of Qur’an during the holy month of Ramadan comes as following:

The holy month of Ramadan might have been prescribed, because it is a month in which the holy Prophet has perceived the truth. After this perception, the angels and the Qur'an have been sent down. By His power the angels are sent down and by the power of the grand wali, the Qur'an and angels are revealed. The grand wali reached the truth of the Qur'an in the holy month and on the night of Qadr. After the perception, He caused Quran to be sent down through the angels who are all subordinate to Him so as to communicate to people to some extent.

The holy Qur'an is beyond our approach and it is beyond the capacity of human being. It is a secret between the Truth and the grand wali who is the messenger of God. It is revealed to the prophet in whole to be communicated to people in the form of words so as to be able to use it. If we understand the secret of the" Night of Qadr and ascension of angels" on the nights of Qadr that extends to the grant wali of God, Imam of the Age) May God's peace be upon him all our problems would be facilitated. All the problems we have are because we are veiled and cannot perceive the truth as it is and the order of existence as has been regulated.
