"Life with the Verses"; Iran’s Most Participatory Quranic Campaign

The national campaign «Life with the Verses» is the largest and most participatory Quranic campaign in Iran. It was first launched during the holy month of Ramadan in 1402 AH Sh, and quickly became a widespread cultural movement across the country. The campaign was designed and implemented to promote Quranic recitation and reflection, and to strengthen Quranic culture in Iranian society.

Muslims believe that the Quran is the greatest miracle of the prophets and a comprehensive guide for a prosperous life, providing instructions for living righteously in this world and the Hereafter. Those who structure their lives around the teachings and meanings of this book experience happiness in both worlds. The «Life with the Verses» campaign aims to present these concepts and teachings in simple language to diverse audiences.

According to official statistics, in the second edition of the campaign, approximately 30 million Iranians participated in this Quranic initiative, with 11 million taking part in the final exam of the campaign. This level of public participation made «Life with the Verses» the most widespread Quranic program in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The campaign employed modern media tools, multimedia productions, and digital platforms to deliver Quranic content. This initiative aimed to review Quranic knowledge learned in schools and religious gatherings, and to encourage deeper reflection on the verses, allowing the teachings and commandments of the Quran to be better internalized.

«Life with the Verses» continues as a long-term cultural initiative, not limited to Ramadan. It is also held during other religious occasions such as Muharram, the mourning days of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), and the Week of Unity, coinciding with the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

In each cycle of the campaign, selected Quranic verses are used in various cultural programs, including television broadcasts. At the same time, multiple media productions are widely distributed in public spaces and on social media by citizens and cultural institutions.
