According to IQNA’s branch in Europe, Seyyed Hussein Zawar Naqawi, preacher and prayers leader of the association said that the students learn to read the Holy Quran’s verses and get acquainted with Tajweed principles during the course.
The classes are held every day from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. local time.
He added that preachers of the association also travel to other cities of Norway, particularly the small towns near Oslo, on Saturdays and Sundays in order to teach the Holy Quran to the people in these regions.
The association was founded in 1971 by Shia and Sunni Muslims of the region with the aim of developing religious activities and disseminating Islamic teachings in the society.
Islam is the second largest religion in Norway after various forms of Christianity, with Muslims representing 2.4% of the population according to official statistical data.
