The Al-Siddiqah Al-Tahirah Center, affiliated with the Office of the Senior Official for Women's Affairs at the Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine, held a mourning assembly in commemoration of the martyrdom anniversary of Lady Ruqayyah (peace be upon her).
The council of the kindergarten and nursery unit at the center organized it, with the presence of children from the holy shrine's female members from various departments.
The assistant to the director of the religious authority's office for women's affairs, Mrs. Firdous Ali Hassoun, said that the gathering included an introductory overview of the life of Lady Ruqayyah (peace be upon her), presented by one of the unit's members in a manner suitable for children's understanding. It also included interactive segments with educational questions and moving elegiac poems, aimed at instilling love for the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) in their hearts.
She continued, "These gatherings aim to raise a faithful generation that carries loyalty and emulation of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), and feels the meanings of oppression and support from a young age."
The council is part of a series of religious and educational programs implemented by the unit throughout the year, aimed at building a comprehensive Islamic educational environment for children.
