These are some of the stories covered in this episode of the Iran program:
Holy Qur'an
For Muslims, the Qur'an is the holiest book, because, unlike the Hebrew and Christian Bibles, which are a record of sacred texts and events, it contains the exact words of God, as revealed to the messenger of Islam, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). That is why it is known as a miracle.
Persian Tahini
The people of the Middle East have known about the health benefits of sesame seeds, sesame oil and Tahini for ages. Iranians are known to make some of the best Tahini in the world.
Wrestling in Iran
In wrestling, Iran is unarguably one of the world’s leading brands. To have good combat skills is an honor. Historians say wrestling as combat or sport has been popular for thousands of years.
Seven-color tiles
The design on the tiles that decorate mosques or Islamic-Persian edifices must have caught your attention. It’s as though the elaborate illustrations and vibrant colors put your gaze under a spell. Perhaps, it’s an inviting way to draw you toward religious sites.
