Mikaeil Baqeri told IQNA that the ‘Mahdavi Discourse’ category is hosted by Jamkaran Mosque in Qom.
The Quran, Etrah, and Prayer competitions for students and educators were held from September 15 to 18 in an offline format and were hosted by Ghiori Elementary School in Rayy City. Another part of the Quran competitions for students, titled "Mahdavi's Speech," will be held in person during the last three days of September at the Jamkaran Mosque in the holy city of Qom.
