Within the framework of the Holy Alawi Shrine’s programs to commemorate the rituals of the anniversary of the martyrdom of the Supreme Prophet, the shrine, represented by the Departments of Religious Affairs, Public Relations, and Information, attended the mourning ceremonies held by the representatives of the Supreme Religious Authority in a number of Iraqi provinces, and covered and documented these ceremonies.
Karrar al-Khafaji, Head of the Religious Affairs Department of the Holy Alawi Shrine, stated in an interview with the Shrine’s News Center:
“In commemoration of this occasion and for the purpose of offering condolences to the family of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), and by the order of the Deputy Custodian of the Holy Alawi Shrine, delegations were formed to attend the ceremonies held on the occasion of these days.”
He added:
“Delegations were dispatched to the provinces of Basra, Samawah, Diwaniyah, and the capital, Baghdad, and visits were also made to a number of mourning ceremonies in the city of Najaf al-Ashraf. This measure is carried out in order to strengthen the rituals, keep this occasion alive, and honor the efforts of the Seal of the Prophets on the path of mercy for the worlds.”
