* Representative of His Eminence: The martyrdom of Al-Zahra (PBUH) has a special status among the Shiites, as it is the first injustice suffered by Ahlulbait (PBUT)

The office of His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) commemorated the martyrdom of the Lady of the Women of the Worlds (PBUH) by a footmen procession led by His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life). The blessed procession set off to the Haidari Shrine to offer condolences to the Commander of the Faithful (PBUH). A group of the honorable Hawza scholars, its teachers and students participated in the procession, in addition to the honorable Iraqi tribal sheikhs and the servants of Imam Hussein (PBUH) from the holders of the Husseini processions and a number of academics and groups of believers from various Iraqi provinces, raising slogans of condolences with these painful memory.

The march began with a large parade of footmen from the office of His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) to the sanctuary of the Commander of the Faithful (PBUH), where a condolence gathering was held inside the Holy Sanctuary in the presence of His Eminence (may his Allah prolong his life) to end the funeral ceremonies by visiting the holy tomb of Imam Ali (PBUH).

The representative of His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) Sheikh Ali Al-Najafy, in a media statement, showed that His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) shared the believers in the footmen procession to offer condolences to the Commander of the Faithful and the Awaited Imam (peace be upon them both) on the memory of the martyrdom of the Lady of the Women of the Worlds (PBUH), indicating that the believers in Najaf, from the seminary Hawza professors and its students, tribal sheikhs, dignitaries, and the servants of Ahlulbait (PBUH) from the Husseini processions and crowds of believers, as well as from various neighboring provinces, participated in the unified procession to renew the annual condolences.

His Eminence affirmed that the martyrdom of Al-Zahra (PBUH) has a special status among the Shiites of the Ahlulbait (PBUT), as it is the first injustice that befell Ahlulbait (PBUT) after the martyrdom of the greatest Messenger (PBUH&HF). All other oppressions and transgressions which befall this sacred house started from this very oppressive event. Commemorating this memory is an annual declaration of rejection to injustice in all its forms and manifestations, and a renewal of adherence to Ahlulbait (PBUT) and their approach and following in their footsteps.

It is noteworthy that the believers hold condoling rituals as per the second narration for Lady Zahra's martyrdom (PBUH), daughter of greatest Messenger (PBUH&HF).
