Mohsen Qara'ati who is also known as "Haj Aqa Qara'ati (Persian: حاج آقا قرائتی)", has been appointed as the chief of "Setade Eqame Namaz" (the headquarters of prayer presenting)".[12][13][14][15] Among the most famous characteristics of this Shi'a clergy is that he tries to follow timely jokes in his lectures, which makes his speeches more interesting from the view of the listeners.[16][17]
He has also suggested making a "Halal laughing site" (to pass free times by Halal [permissible] laughing).[18][19][20] He has stated in his sermons that anyone that declares themselves to be an adherent of the Baháʼí Faith must be killed.[21]
