The convoy of the Imam Ali Holy Shrine arrived in the sacred city of Kadhimiya, located in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, as part of its preparations to deliver a wide range of services to pilgrims visiting the city on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Musa ibn Jafar (peace be upon him).
Salam Al-Jubouri, Head of the Committee Organizing the Commemoration of Imam al-Kadhim (peace be upon him), stated in an interview with the Shrine’s News Center:
“Upon the directive of the Custodianship of the Imam Ali Holy Shrine, the shrine’s convoy arrived in Kadhimiya and was stationed at its customary location along one of the main routes used by pilgrims heading toward the shrines of Imam al-Kadhim and Imam al-Jawad (peace be upon them both). This ensures ease of access and enables the provision of optimal services to pilgrims.”
He added:
“Preparations to complete all logistical requirements of the Alawi convoy began well in advance. Full coordination has been achieved among the engineering and construction, security, services, equipment, and pilgrims’ hospitality departments. In addition, the Public Relations and Media departments, as well as the Rasul al-Akram Medical Center (peace be upon him and his family), are actively participating in providing medical and healthcare services.”
Al-Jubouri explained that the convoy includes approximately 250 service personnel, each assigned specific duties to ensure the delivery of services to pilgrims. He further noted:
“The Religious Affairs Department of the Imam Ali Holy Shrine has prepared a special faith-based program, which includes establishing a station to answer religious and jurisprudential inquiries and organizing congregational prayers at the convoy, thereby enhancing both the spiritual atmosphere and the quality of services provided.”
These service, religious, media, and medical efforts are part of the Imam Ali Holy Shrine’s ongoing commitment to mobilizing all its capabilities to serve esteemed pilgrims during major visitation occasions in the holy city of Kadhimiya.
