Raeisi felicitated the nations and heads of the Islamic states on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on Monday.
In his congratulatory message, the president called the prophet the perfect role model to direct mankind toward perfection, well-being and God.
Islam is considered the religion of freedom and equality, while the holy Qur'an is "the book of blessings, wisdom and the words of God," he pointed out.
Disrespecting the Quran, as the priceless miracle of the Prophet Muhammad (PBHU), is equivalent to insulting humanity, freedom, values, as well as spirituality.
The Islamic Republic strongly condemns the heinous and spiteful measures that are taking place in some parts of the world, the president added. He further said the acts of Qur'an desecration are a blatant affront to the feelings of the Muslims.
He expressed hope that the Islamic countries would witness unity and solidarity among the Muslims in the world.
