20 thousand houses in Najaf volunteered to receive Iranian pilgrims/ 100 processions for children and teenagers

According to Fars news agency’s radio and television reporter, Hojatul Islam Ahmadi, head of the cultural and educational committee of Arbaeen headquarters, was a guest of the program “On the path of Hussein”. Referring to the importance of cultural programs in the Arbaeen issue, he said: As the Supreme Leader of the Revolution said, the basis of Arbaeen is a huge cultural movement, and anyone who does any action is doing cultural work. Since a huge crowd goes to this ceremony, proper cultural action should also be planned for it.

While explaining the activities of the cultural and educational committee of the Arbaeen headquarters, he said: The cultural committee is composed of 30 institutions, organizations and public groups that cooperate with each other. Their work is under the authority of the Supreme Leader, but more than 100 groups and people’s institutions are working with us. An important part of their activity is holding ceremonies in which processions are placed in 50 places and more than 80 distinguished speakers and praisers of the country are present. These ceremonies will be held at 11 pm in the cities of Kazmin, Najaf, Karbala, Samarra and on the way.

Hojat-ul-Islam Ahmadi added: 40 distinguished national reciters have also been sent to perform programs and programs have been planned for children and teenagers. I must mention that fortunately we have more than 100 processions for children and teenagers and they provide services from the border to the interior of Iraq. The women’s group is also very active. We brought more than 5 thousand young missionaries to work, who are present in processions and at the borders and provide cultural services.

Inside the country, various organizations implement programs in prisons and other centers. Be careful that many of the prisoners are Hosseini’s supporters, but most of the time we forgot about them. Martyr Maithami, one of the active clerics of the front and the war, had this tradition that he always went to prisons on Qadr nights. We also decided to enter the prisons and be with them on the occasion of Arbaeen. Sometimes very good things happen in prisons and even many of those who are in prison due to financial crimes are released with the consent of the complainant. In addition, we have conferences and meetings in universities and educational centers, the program of which is announced.

In another part of his speech, the head of the cultural and educational committee of Arbaeen headquarters said: One of the achievements of Arbaeen is the strengthening of relations between the people of Iran and Iraq, which should happen beyond the governments. 3 weeks ago, I was in Najaf and I received a report that 20,000 houses in Najaf came voluntarily and said that we want to accommodate Iranian pilgrims. Because of this, many Iranian and Iraqi pilgrims become friends and meet each other.

He emphasized: The Supreme Leader says that this march should continue in order to be the foundation and driver of the new Islamic civilization. They have defined two indicators for it. One is unity and convergence and the other is lifestyle. I believe that in order to reach this issue, we need to produce literature, and until the discourse is created, important events cannot take place. We must be more active in the field of content production. Now we have 7-8 good Arbaini books, while before we didn’t have much to do. We must have more effective activities for children.
