World Assembly is effective in reviving the teachings of the Quran, and I was impressed to see the works submitted to the Secretariat of the World Prize 114. Once, the Holy Quran was abandoned in the Islamic world. But after 40 years of the revival of the Holy Quran by the Islamic Republic of Iran, even works from Mexico are submitted to the World Prize 114, or a girl active in the Quranic field, only 12 years old, has 300,000 viewers in social media, which is a source of honor.”
