Distinguished services provided to the large crowds of visitors of the holy shrines of Karbala during the great night of Qadr that coincides with a Friday eve.

Every Friday eve, the holy shrines of Imam al-Hussayn and of his brother Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon both of them) are packed with great crowds of visitors, which is a tradition of the lovers and followers of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) because the holy narrations have stressed on the Ziyarat of Aba Abdillah al-Hussayn on Friday eve. Imam Ja'far as-Sadeq (peace be upon him) said: "Allah will surely forgive those who perform the Ziyarat of the grave of al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) every Friday. They will not leave this life with any sorrows and will dwell with al-Hussayn son of Ali (peace be upon both of them) in Paradise..."

And this Friday eve is more special, because it coincides with the night that is better than a thousand months, and which most important and recommended acts is the Ziyarat of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him), which is also stressed in many holy narrations of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). Imam as-Sadeq (peace be upon him) said: "On the night of Qadr, “wherein every wise affair is made distinct,” (Quran 44:4), a crier will call out from inside the Arsh [Throne], “Allah has forgiven everyone who has performed the Ziyarat of the grave of al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) on this night.”"

And this night, by the Will of the Almighty, joins the virtue of both nights, which led the lovers and followers of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) to go to these holy shrines to perform the rituals of the Ziyarat along with the rituals of the holy night of Qadr [power/decree].

The visitors began arriving about three hours before the evening prayers, to reach the climax at the time of Maghreb. So that the visitors perform their prayers and break their fast and then proceed to perform the recommended acts of the night of Qadr as well as the Ziyarat of Imam al-Hussayn and his brother Abd al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him).

The servants of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him), as usual, harnessed all their efforts to provide the best services within the available resources. As their goal is to serve the fasting visitors, which an honor for them, seeking the blessing of the Almighty and of the Master Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him).
