Dr. Saad Shahin Hamadi, the President of the University of Basrah, participated in the inauguration of the Quran Monument in the province centre, accompanied by Mr. Mohammed Taher Al-Tamimi, the First Deputy Governor of Basra, and in the presence of several members of parliament and government officials.
Dr. Saad Shahin emphasized that the inauguration of the Quran Monument is a response to those who disrespect its sanctity and transgress the boundaries set by divine norms.
Mr. Al-Tamimi mentioned that the construction of the Quran Monument began five months ago, with continuous work day and night, funded through self-efforts under his personal supervision, in cooperation with the Director-General of the Iraqi Ports Company.
It's worth noting that the Quran Monument was designed and executed by the sculptor Mohammed Al-Naqash, and the location in the province centre was allocated by the Governor of Basra, Mr. Asaad Al-Eidani. The surrounding green areas were developed by the municipal authorities.
