And we were received by its servants from the University and School Relations Division. This visit is inspired from the students’ belief that the Ziyarat of the two holy shrines of Imam al-Hussayn and his brother Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon both of them) has an impact on the students as they also need an effective spiritual dose.”
