Madinah quotes:
Mohadissa Jaffer, Peterborough, UK, and Zahra Valji, Essex, UK, comment on the workshop on Self Recognition:
"The aim was to make us reflect on our very existence; goals, characteristics and aspirations, all of which shape our behaviour and actions in this world. We found that this lecture beautifully summed up our reasons for coming to Iran using a modern and very appealing method. Nobody walked out of the classroom without a clear set of objectives with the common hope of bringing ourselves closer to Allah (swt) inshaAllah in the footsteps of the Ahlul Bayt (a.s). "
Sabeeha Kassam, Stanmore, UK:
"The Ziyaarat was led by Zainub, a Saudi Arabian sister. Mashallah her recitation was so powerful, her voice echoed through the room touching our hearts. Tears running, heads bowed, we remembered the sacrifice of Imam Hussein (as) and the brave shaheeds of the war, making us proud to be Shi'a and truly blessed to be here in Iran."
Sajjad Panju of Kenya, on Jamkaran:
"It was then time to time. I felt a sense of belonging to this sacred place and didn't really want to leave. It was certainly a tearful departure! Inshallah I pray to the Almighty to bless us with the opportunity to come back together in the near future. Ameen!"
Bab quotes:
Aamena Hussein of Canada:
"Finally we ended the evening by listening to ' an amazingly full of emotion' dua e tawasul. You could not listen to it without being brought to tears. What made this experience even more special was that we were aware that the 12th Imam was there on the same piece of land and we all felt his presence. Overall this trip so far has been an amazing experience." |
