Roses’ garlands decorating the holy grid of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him) to welcome the holy month of Sha’ban.

As in every year, with the first day of the holy month of Sha'ban, the month of the auspicious birth anniversaries of Ahl Al-Bayt (peace be upon them), the Al-Abbas's holy shrine like usual is decorated to show the joy and festivity, as the relevant departments have started decorating the holy sanctuary to reflect the festive atmosphere of this holy month in all the corridors of the holy shrine, in order to bring joy and happiness to the lovers and followers of Ahl Al-Bayt (peace be upon them).

Garlands of roses were put in the entrances and exits of the holy shrine, colored lamps were enlightened and banners were hung to show the greatness of these days, in which we celebrate the birth anniversaries of Imam Al-Hussayn, Imam As-Sajjad and Imam Al-Mahdi (peace be upon them all), as well as of those of the Moon of the Tribe, the banner bearer Aba Al-Fadl Al-Abbas and Ali Al-Akbar son of Imam Al-Hussayn (peace be upon them all).

According to the head of the al-Kafeel Nursery; Mr. Ahmed Mahmoud 'Ateiwi, there are 5000 flowers and roses that were spread over the holy grid of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him) in form of garlands and wreaths made out of consistent varieties of flowers, including: Anthurium, Lily, Dutch roses, Gladiolus, Rose, Tulip, Chameleon flower, Damask rose and Mohammadian rose.

It is narrated that the Holy Prophet (Allah’s prayers be upon him and upon his holy Household) said: "Indeed, Rajab is the month of Allah, Sha'ban is my month and the month of Ramadan is the month of my Ummah, he who fasts a day of Rajab by faith, will have the best of Allah's satisfaction and will be placed at the highest paradise."
