ABWA Official Website – With the presence of a group of Sunni and Shiite ulama, as well as some officials of the city of Samarra, Iraq, a ceremony on the birth anniversary of Imam Reza (a.s.) was held for the second consecutive year in the city.

The ceremony was held with the participation of Iraqi sheikhs, the Representative of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution in Iraq, the governor of Samarra, the president of Samarra University, representatives of the Holy Shrines in Iraq, a group of military and security commanders, as well as representatives of the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought, the AhlulBayt (a.s.)

After reciting the verses of the Holy Quran, while welcoming the participants of the celebration, the governor of Samarra on the religious, historical, and civilizational status of this holy city stated, “The existence of holy Shrines of two Askari Imams has multiplied the glory of this city.
