President Pezeshkian: Global Imperialism Misrepresents Islam and the Quran as Threats to Humanity

In a significant address during the closing ceremony of the 41st International Quran Competition held in Mashhad, President Masoud Pezeshkian underscored the need to combat global imperialism’s portrayal of Islam and the Quran as threats. This event, which took place from January 26 to January 31, showcased the talents of 59 reciters and memorizers from 27 nations.

President Pezeshkian emphasized several key points regarding the role of the Quran and the significance of unity among Muslims:

  • Countering Global Imperialism: The president highlighted the ongoing efforts to undermine the resources of Muslims and emphasized that these malicious plans will ultimately fail due to divine guidance and the dedication of Quran practitioners.
  • Resistance Against Oppression: He pointed out that a fundamental aspect of the region’s reality is the collective resistance against oppression and inequality, rooted in the teachings of the Holy Quran.
  • Unity Among Muslims: Pezeshkian noted that the Quran addresses Muslims as a single community (the Umma), urging them to unite and avoid division.
  • Guidance for Humanity: The president stated that the Holy Quran transcends race, color, class, and religion, guiding humanity towards perfection and a hopeful refuge in a turbulent world.

In his remarks, President Pezeshkian quoted Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), stating that “the superiority of the Quran over other words is like the superiority of Allah over humans.” He asserted that through the profound teachings of the Quran, individuals can find a path to escape ignorance and oppression, fostering a peaceful coexistence characterized by justice, kindness, and non-violence.

Overall, the closing ceremony not only celebrated the talents of the participants but also reinforced the Quran’s role as a unifying and guiding force for Muslims worldwide.
