I start my day with Quran: President Rouhani

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani described the Holy Quran as the book of light and guidance, stressing that he always starts his day by reading a few pages of the Holy Scripture.

Speaking to IQNA on Sunday during a visit to the news agency’s pavilion at the 21st International Press and News Agencies Exhibition, the president added that the Holy Quran shows everyone the path of light and insight.

It is the greatest spiritual, legal, and political asset and source of unity for us Muslims, he underscored.

The Quran is mercy, healing, and guidance even for non-Muslims, the Iranian chief executive went on to say.

Iran’s 21st International Press and News Agencies Exhibition was officially inaugurated in Tehran earlier on Sunday.

More than 700 domestic press and media outlets have displayed their works and activities in some 567 pavilions at the fair.

Taking part in the international event are also media groups from Germany, Italy, the US, China, France, Turkey, Kuwait, Lebanon, Japan, Iraq, and Russia.

It will be underway until November 13 under the theme of ‘Fair Criticism and Accountability’.
