He added, " the council, which is held by Sheikh Hassanein al-Khaqani, will address the virtue of the Imam as-Sajjad (peace be upon him) and how he focused and crystallized it in the way of the true call to the true Islamic religion from the point of view of (be for us silent preachers)," pointing to "focusing on the Sahifa as-Sajjadia, which represents a great legacy."
