“Live conversations with the topics of moral principles in the Husseini uprising, the role of non-Muslims in Ashura, a glance at the character of Hazrat Abolfazl (AS); Imam Hussein (AS) as a symbol of honor and greatness with lectures by scholars such as Hossein Saberi, Hadi Qorbanyar and Ehsan Ahmadi will also be held,” he noted.
