I defined reverse dns zone for server muq.ac.ir in name server which responds to name resolutions for domain muq.ac.ir server. Then I add a ptr record for ip address 80.191.92.199 with value muq.ac.ir. however after around 12 hours I still could not reverse-lookup my domain.
Did i missed something about dns server or my server is not responsible for reverse lookups?
Or still dns server not propagated?

    The DNS server for the muq.ac.ir domain name is not responsible for the rDNS zone for the ip address 80.191.92.199. You need to have the entity that is responsible for that ip address create the PTR record for you.

Your DNS server is not responsible for this zone. You can check it with dig request:

$ dig 92.191.80.in-addr.arpa

    sure you can run nslookup 92.191.80.in-addr.arpa. Most important things here is top domain "in-addr.arpa" and that ip addresses in this domain are reversed. So if you have IP 80.191.92.199 than PTR record will be(if you use bind syntax): 199.92.191.80.in-addr.arpa IN PTR muq.ac.ir
