The Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine welcomes approximately 800 Pakistani visitors at the Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him) Complex for Visitor Services

The Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine welcomed approximately 800 visitors from Pakistan at the Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him) visitor Service Complex, located on the road between the holy cities of Karbala and Najaf.

Sheikh Salah al-Karbalai, Head of the Department of Islamic and Human Knowledge Affairs at the Holy Shrine, stated: "The reception of these Pakistani visitors was carried out under the direction of the Senior Official of the Al-Abbas'a (p) Holy Shrine, His Eminence Sayed Ahmad al-Safi. The initiative originated from the visitors themselves; they were welcomed with a ceremonial flag-raising at the Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him) Visitor Service Complex."

He added: "The activities included a mourning gathering to commemorate the martyrdom of Lady Fatima az-Zahra (peace be upon her)—in accordance with the third historical account—as well as the provision of meals for the guests at the complex’s hospitality hall."

Al-Karbalai noted that "this initiative is part of a series of events and programs scheduled for the coming days to welcome further groups of visitors, fostering stronger ties with them and helping to sustain their connection to the Ziyarat of the Master of Martyrs, Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him)."
