Hawzah News Agency – Stating that servants of Imam Reza holy shrine spend valuable amount of time to add to the convenience of pilgrims, Mubasher Khan said: “Among different services of the Office for Foreign Pilgrims’ Affairs, availability of books in foreign languages, English in particular, is quite an advantage as most Shia Muslims of the West do not have access to first-hand Shia Islam reference books”.
Appreciating time spent by Razavi servants on cultural aspects of the pilgrimage, he said: “Museums of the complex especially Quran and Leader’s Gifts Museum are other excellent parts of the holy shrine which add to the spiritual aspect of the pilgrimage. Quran museum, for example, has put many holy Quran copies attributed to Shia Imams into public display”.
Mubasher Khan and his family members who had their first pilgrimage to the shrine before victory of the Islamic Revolution, described developments of the complex as unbelievable, adding, “The physical and spiritual services of the holy shrine have increased in various aspects compared to the days before the Islamic Revolution”.
Concluding his remarks, Mubasher Khan stated: “It is necessary for me to come to Imam Reza holy shrine to burnish my soul every one or two years”.
The Office for Foreign Pilgrims’ Affairs at Imam Reza holy shrine is the main body in charge of dealing with affairs and needs of foreign pilgrims of the complex; the office provides foreigners from all over the world with many cultural and religious services in different languages.
