*  The holy shrines are the best place to increase a person's closeness to Allah Almighty, and to achieve His consent.

His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) welcomed delegations from the capital, Baghdad, Basra, and Wasit provinces, which came to offer condolences to the Commander of the Faithful (PBUH) on the memory of the martyrdom of Al-Zahra (PBUH), where His Eminence provided parental guidance and advice to the delegations.

His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life ) affirmed that Lady Zahra (PBUH) is the best example for a daughter, wife and mother, so you should follow her example, adding that Lady Zahra (PBUH) offered sacrifices for the sake of the supremacy of Islam and for Muslims to know the right path and what Zahra (PBUH) endured. It is the result of her insistence (PBUH) to preserve the religion and its correct pillars.

His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life ) indicated the need to invest the pilgrimages to the holy shrines in rebuilding and reforming the self, improving the daily behavior of the human being, identifying the places of mistakes and working to correct them, indicating that these holy places are the best place to increase a person’s closeness to Allah Almighty, to achieve his satisfaction and to announce the person’s repentance.

His Eminence (may Allah prolong his life) added that your needs in the holy pilgrimages should be in proportion to the position of the Imam (PBUH). It is not reasonable to present a set of worldly demands while you are in the hands of the Imam (PBUH). So your only request is success for proximity to Allah (the Exalted), and then I pray Allah (Almighty and Majestic) what you want to achieve victory in this world and the hereafter.
