The Al-Abbas's (P) holy shrine organizes its annual condolence Council on the seventh day of the month of Muharram

The general secretariat of the Al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine organized its annual condolence Council on the seventh of the month of Muharram.

The council was held in the presence of the Senior Official of the Al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine; His Eminence Sayed Ahmad al-Safi, and a number of believers and visitors from inside and outside Iraq.

The council began by a beautiful recitation of verses from the Holy Quran, followed by a lecture by Sayed Hisham al-Battat, in which he discussed the biography of Master Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him), his life, courage, sacrifice and exploits.

The lecturer touched on the stories from the life of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him), his journey with his family to Karbala, the impact of that journey in the victory of justice and the realization of truth, as well as aspects of patience and sacrifice.

The council concluded with the reading of Lamentations and elegies about the misfortune of the martyrdom of Master Aba al-Fadl (peace be upon him), which left great sadness and pain in the heart of believers.

The Al-Abbas's (p) shrine has always continued its spiritual role in the holy city of Karbala and beyond, by preparing a special mourning and service program on the occasion of the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam al-Hussayn Ibn Ali (peace be upon them), and dedicated to recalling the sacrifices of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them).
