 Addressing the inauguration ceremony of the 27th Tehran International Book Fair on Tuesday, the president said that if Prophet Moses (AS) is known for splitting the Nile and Prophet Jesus (AS) for bringing the dead back to life, the holy prophet of Islam (PBUH) is known for a book, the Quran.

He pointed to the prominence of the word “book” in the Iranian Islamic culture and said Muslims, including Iranian families, get acquainted with the Book of God from early childhood.

Rouhani noted that Muslims also refer to followers of other Divine faiths as People of the Book (Ahl-ul-Kitab).

Elsewhere in his remarks the Iranian chief executive congratulated the inauguration of the international book fair as a great cultural event.

He also thanked the culture ministry and others involved in organizing the book fair for their efforts.

The president later at the opening ceremony honored several senior publishers.

Minister of Culture Ali Jannati and a number of senior political and cultural officials were present at the opening program.

The 27th edition of Tehran International Book Fair will run until May 10 at Imam Khomeini (RA) Mosalla (prayers hall) in Tehran.
