In their final statement, the members of the panel of judges called on related organizations and influential bodies to take stances against such moves and make efforts to promote the Quranic culture and education in families, society, schools, universities, and elsewhere.
They said it is necessary for Quran activists to develop their interactions in order to counter attempts at undermining the sanctity of the Holy Book.
Elsewhere in the statement, the panel hailed the good organization of the competition and its compliance with technical standards.
They also thanked the custodian of Imam Hussein (AS) holy shrine, the head of the Dar-ol-Quran Center of the shrine’s Astan (custodianship) and others who contributed to and supported the holding of the Quranic event.
