‘Saadat Din Duman’, along with a group of twenty of managers and the founding board members of Alawids foundation from Turkey have traveled to Iran and the holy city of Mashhad and attended the Imam Reza’s (A.S.) Holy Shrine.
On the sidelines of the attendance to Razavi Illuminated Court, he called the trip a spiritual and blessed one and stated, “Astan Quds Razavi has been able to provide valuable services to non-Iranian pilgrims, including visits to the Quran Museum and other religious sites of the Razavi Shrine, which is very much appreciated by this group.”
“There are many museums in Turkey; however, the museums of the Razavi establishment are very specific and have thousand-year-old relics, which in their own style are unique” said the university professor during the visit to the exquisites treasury of Astan Quds Razavi.
“In this matchless collection, exquisite Qurans are presented in the handwriting attributed to the Infallible Imams (A.S.), among which there are five copies with the handwriting of Imam Ali (A.S.), Imam Hassan (A.S.), Imam Hussein (A.S.), Imam Sajjad (A.S.), and Imam Reza (A.S.) that have adorned the museum of Quran and exquisites. I was very surprised to see the Quran handwritten by Imam Ali (A.S.)” he enunciated.
“In Turkey, some believe that the writing of the Holy Quran dates back to 600 years after the prophecy of the Prophet (S.A.W.). However, today by seeing the Qurans handwritten by the Infallible Imams (A.S.), we realized this idea was wrong” Saadat Din Duman expressed, stating that seeing the manuscripts of the Infallible Imams (A.S.) was a wish for him.
He expressed his hope for further cooperation with the Astan Quds Razavi establishment and said, “We would like to have business and working contracts with this huge establishment.”
“For the sake of being Alawid, and many religious commonalities, I do not consider myself apart from the Muslim world and Iran. After traveling to the holy city of Mashhad and familiarity with the culture and customs of the Iranian people, my views on this country and its people have changed and I will certainly convey these good experiences to the people of my country” founding board member of the Alawids Foundation remarked.
It is worth mentioning that this group, while visiting the Quran treasury of exquisites of Astan Quds Razavi, got acquainted with various sections of the establishment, such as the treasury of the Supreme Leader's gifts, the Hall of Master Farshchian and the Quran and exquisites and so on.
