"In the Name of God the Merciful Compassionate"
First of all, with the condolences of the great mourning days of the Lady of Islam, Hazrat Sedigheh Tahereh Fatemeh Zahra (peace be upon her), the organization of this Quranic conference is dear to all of you, especially those involved, the esteemed Friday Imam and all the loved ones who have participated in this glorious assembly.‌
The Qur'an is the luminous word of God and the eternal instruction of human happiness and the link to all Muslims in the world in a situation where Muslims need unity and solidarity in the face of the ruthless onslaught of enemies. The best way is for everyone to gather around the Qur'an. This is the rope of God and a strong divine thread that connects all hearts and invites it to it in Surah Al-Imran and says :وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا
 Its guidance is freed from darkness, dispersion, discord, strife and conflict, and they return to the source of light, which is the Islamic brotherhood and fraternity, and use its guidance to science and progress and excellence.
Familiarity of young people and adolescents with this divine word will protect them from the cultural invasion of the enemy and their efforts to destroy their beliefs and moral foundations. I congratulate all the participants in this contest and I am sure that you dear ones are familiar with the Quran and teachings. You walk that life-giving path of bliss and happiness.
I ask God Almighty for all of you, fathers, mothers, teachers, professors, success, pride, dignity and health of soul and body, and I hope that you will always be safe from all physical and mental dangers in the shadow of the Qur'an.
