During his meeting with the visitors of the holy shrines, His Eminence Grand Ayatllah the Religious Authrotiy Sheikh Bashir Al-Najafy emphasized that a sign of acceptance of the visit to the holy shrines of the Ahlulbayt (PBUT) is to change and improve one's behavior and ethics towards others after the visit, pointing out the necessity of utilizing these visits to start a new phase towards building and reform, where each visitor becomes a center for guidance and reform for those around them in society. This way, they become true advocates of Islam through their actions and ethics.
