Assistant Director of the Custodianship of the Holy Alawi Shrine, Ehsan al-Taie, together with members of the Board of Directors and a delegation from the Public Relations and Media Departments, conducted a field visit to service Mawakib stationed in the old quarter of Najaf al-Ashraf. During the visit, he gained firsthand insight into the needs and conditions of these Mawakib and, expressing appreciation to their officials and servants, paid tribute to their valuable efforts in serving millions of pilgrims during the Arbaeen season.
Assistant Director of the Custodianship of the Holy Alawi Shrine told the Shrine’s News Center:
“This visit was carried out on the direct order of the Deputy Custodian of the Holy Alawi Shrine, Sayyid Eisa al-Khirsan, who has emphasized the necessity of maintaining direct contact with the officials of the Mawakib and staying informed of their needs and field-level concerns.”
He added:
“During this visit, the delegation expressed its appreciation to the officials of the Mawakib and paid tribute to the resources and capabilities they have mobilized to serve the pilgrims of Imam al-Hussain (peace be upon him).”
Mr. al-Taie continued:
“These service Mawakib play an important role in supporting the services provided to pilgrims, making a significant contribution through the provision of food, water and beverages, lodging, and other services throughout the days of the month of Safar. He emphasized that these Mawakib stand as one of the main pillars behind the success of the Arbaeen pilgrimage, embodying the culture of sacrifice, generosity, and sincere service.”
He also noted:
“The accompanying delegation carried with it the blessed flag of Imam al-Hussain (peace be upon him) for blessing, and presented commemorative gifts to the Mawakib, including a piece of marble from the sacred resting place of Amir al-Muminin Ali (peace be upon him), as well as the exclusive fragrance of the Holy Alawi Shrine. This gesture reflects the appreciation and gratitude of the Holy Alawi Shrine for the exceptional efforts of the Mawakib organizers in serving the pilgrims.”
It is worth noting that this initiative is part of the Holy Alawi Shrine’s broader commitment to strengthening cooperation and partnership with the al-Hussaini Mawakib and supporting their humanitarian and service-oriented activities—an effort that plays a meaningful role in enhancing the level of services provided to the pilgrims of al-Hussaini Arbaeen.
