Imam Ja'far As-Sadeq (peace be upon him) said: "During the day of Judgement, everyone shall wish that they were of the pilgrims of Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him), after they witness their destinations and honours from Allah Almighty." For this reason and to present their condolences to Imam Al-Hussayn and his brother Aba Al-Fadl Al-Abbas (peace be upon both of them) for the martyrdom of the Pure Lady Saint Fatima Az-Zahra (peace be upon her) -following the narration stating her martyr forty days after the martyrdom of her father the holy Prophet (prayers and Allah's peace be upon him and his holy Household)-, large numbers of visitors entered the holy city of Karbala to perform the rituals of the Zyarat of Imam Al-Hussayn and the Holder of his banner Aba Al-Fadl Al-Abbas (peace be upon both of them) on the Thursday night, one of the holiest nights.
The visitors gathered to perform the prayer and the Zyarat's rituals, raising their hands praying and invoking the almighty God by the intercession of Al-Hussayn, His Grandfather, father, brother and sons to protect Iraq and its people, and to harm whoever wants to harm it from the terrorists and others, and to protect and give strength to the soldiers from the security forces and the popular mobilization and to bless their martyrs.
On the other hand, the servants of Aba Al-Fadl Al-Abbas (peace be upon him) have apologized for the crowding at the entrances and the hallways of the holy shrine because of the reconstruction works taking place inside the Al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine, which include the gates and the basement of Imam Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) launched recently.
