Hojat-ol-Islam Seyed Kazem Hojjat, head of the center, said it will be organized on the 27th day of the holy month, which falls on May 10, ICRO reported.

Speaking in a meeting with Iranian Cultural Attaché in Afghanistan Gholam Hossein Shirzad, Hojat-ol-Islam Hojjat said Quran reciters, memorizers and Quran activists will attend the program.

Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. It is a period of prayer, fasting, charity giving and self–accountability for Muslims around the world.

During Ramadan, Muslims fast (abstain from foods and drinks) from sunrise to sunset.

They also devote a considerable amount of time during this month to reading and contemplating the Quran.
