Ceremony held in honor of the Pakistanis who served on occasion of Arbaeen

Shiite News: This event was held at the Islamic Research Foundation of Astan Quds Rizvi in which 85 servants who serve pilgrims at Rimdan and Mirjava borders during Arbaeen Hussaini days participated.

During the ceremony, Deputy Director of International Affairs of Astan Quds Rizvi, Hujatul Islam Wal Muslimeen Mustafa Faqih Esfandiari welcomed Pakistani Khudam Al Hussain (AS) and said that we believe that the Islamic Republic of Iran is your homeland.

He further said that he is grateful to God for the greatest blessing of the Almighty, i.e. Imamate and Wilayat, and we pray that God will grant us the opportunity to make everyone aware of the religion of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them).

Hujjat-ul-Islam Faqih Esfandiari, while expressing his regret for the Pakistani pilgrims who died in the bus accident, said that he prays that all the deceased pilgrims may be united with the martyrs of Karbala and may God Almighty bless the injured with complete and speedy recovery.

The Deputy Director of International Affairs of Astan Quds Rizvi said that the ugliest face of ignorance today is Zionist terrorism and massacre of children.

Esfandiari said that we are aware of the difficulties of Pakistani pilgrims and we know the difficulties with which Pakistani pilgrims reach Karbala while passing through Iran. We are trying to reduce these difficulties somehow.

He further informed that various services were provided to Pakistani pilgrims at Rimdan and Mirjava borders with the support of the administration of Sistan and Balochistan province and Pakistani philanthropists.

We are trying to build a pilgrim center at Rimdan border with the help of Pakistani philanthropists. He said that the land has been dedicated by the Shrine of Imam Raza (A.S.) for the construction.

Our aim is to serve Pakistani pilgrims, so the construction of a Zair Sara where Pakistani pilgrims are provided accommodation, food and other services has been included in the agenda, which, God willing, will be built by next year with the support of Pakistani philanthropists.
