Head of the youth and students office of Ahl al-Bayt World Assembly stated, "This group of Shiites and elite students living in the Netherlands and Germany who had come to Iran for a cultural trip visited the Razavi Holy Shrine, its Qur'an museum and central library.

Hawzah News Agency-Referring to this visit as the first experience for many members of this group, Sayyed Moslem Jazayeri added, "Pilgrimage, visitation and enjoying the spiritual atmosphere of the religious places have very good impacts on the minds and spirits of the youths".

He referred to the enemies' plot to destroy Islam and added, "Supporting Takfiris and ISIS members in Iraq and Syria, enemies are depicting a very coarse face of Islam and Muslims in the world. Therefore, holding programs to introduce and know Islam, getting Muslim youths familiar with the religious places, and the rich culture of Islam can decrease negative effect of their plots".

Boushranor Gulen, from Turkey, introduced Astan Quds Razavi's Qur'an museum as very effective and said, "Objects of this museum particularly the Holy Qur'ans attributed to the household of the Apostle of God (sawa) and also Holy Qur'ans written on wood were very fascinating for me".

Presence at the Razavi Shrine was recognized by him as a pleasant experience. He also added, "Coming to the pilgrimage of Imam al-Ridha (as) is a great success which God has given me in my life".

Gulen referred to the Holy Shrine's vastness and architecture and stressed, "There are many mosques in Turkey with Islamic architecture; architecture of none of them, however, can be compared with that of Imam al-Ridha 's (as) Holy Shrine".

It should be mentioned that this group was invited to the Razavi banquet hall after doing their pilgrimage.
