, delegate of Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei in Charmahal va Bakhtiyari Province issued the call during a talk with Bahman Dorri, Chief Executive of the 24th edition of Tehran International Book Fair, held on the sidelines of the landmark cultural event Thursday.
Naseri said such authentic Islamic supplications as Sahife Sajjadiya, the top-notch supplications of Imam Sajjad, the fourth Shii Imam, must be put on offer for the Farsi speaking neighboring nations, adding that once the nations receive the divinely-inspired work, the grounds would be provided for presentation of such precious publications as Nahj al-Balaqa, the book fair's press office reported Friday.
