Hawzah News Agency- Speaking at the commemoration ceremony which was held for Hillah martyrs in Lady Masuma's Shrine in Qom on Wednesday, November 30, Hujjat al-Islam Saeedi, Custodian of Lady Masuma's Shrine, said," It's been mentioned in the holy Quran, that 'Those who leave their homes for the sake of Allah almighty and lose their lives for that cause, Allah is well aware of their sacrifices and will reward them with his divine bounties,"

Greatness of Arbaeen Pilgrimage is a Thorn in the Enemies' Side

Referring to the martyrdom of several Iranian Arbaeen pilgrims in a terrorist attack in the Iraqi city of Hillah, the senior Shia cleric added, "This year's Arbaeen walk was different than any other year since it displayed the magnanimous dimensions of this religious event; It's something that the enemies of Ahl ul-Bayt (a.s) cannot accept. Millions of pilgrims attended the event and were welcomed by Iraqis' great service and hospitality; this is like a thorn in the side of Islam's enemies such as the U.S., Zionists regime, Wahhabis and ISIS terrorists  who are willing to carry out any inhumane terrorist actions to undermine the greatness of Arbaeen walk,"

"The enemies of pure Islam and Ahl ul-Bayt's (a.s) teachings have joint their forces to undermine the love and admiration that people have for the Ahl ul-Bayt (a.s); They are blind to the fact that throughout history of Islam the adherents of Imam Hussain and Infallible Ahl ul-Bayt have sacrificed their lives to make pilgrimage to Imam Hussain's tomb, that's why nothing can stop or weaken the love people show for Imam Hussain (a.s); That was also emphasized by the bereaved families of Hillah martyrs," Hujjat al-Islam Saeedi asserted.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Qom Friday Prayer leader highlighted that martyrs of Hillah terrorist attack have achieved a high place in heaven and added," These animosities will be compensated for by the brave Soldiers of the Islamic Resistance on the battlefields,"
