As part of the Mercy of the Worlds Festival... Opening of a book fair in the area between the two holy shrines

The area between the two holy shrines witnessed the opening of a book fair as part of the first international Mercy to the Worlds Festival.

The Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine is organising the festival in celebration of the 1500th anniversary of the birth of the Prophet Mohammad (Allah's prayers be upon him and upon his holy Household), which includes religious, cultural, and intellectual activities, and lasts for three days.

The inauguration of the exhibition was attended by the Deputy Secretary-General of the Holy Shrine, Mr. Abbas Mousa Ahmed, and several of its officials.

The exhibition will be held from the 15th to the 20th of Rabi' al-Awwal, with the participation of the holy shrines of Imam Ali, Imam al-Hussayn and of Imam al-Hadi and Imam al-Askari (peace be upon them), in addition to the Secretariat of Kufa Mosque and Sahlah Mosque, as well as the Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine pavilion, which includes several of its departments.

The Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine's pavilion included the participation of the Intellectual and Cultural Affairs Department, the Scientific Complex for the Holy Quran, the Supreme Committee for Heritage Revival, the Islamic and Human Knowledge Affairs Department, in addition to specialised intellectual and scientific centres in the Prophetic Biography.

The exhibition aims to highlight the intellectual and scientific outputs that coincide with the noble occasion, and to shed light on the efforts of the holy shrines in promoting authentic Islamic thought.
