Hatay Province in Turkey marks the birth anniversary of Imam Ali (PBUH)

The Ahlulbayt Foundation in Turkey, through its branch in the southern city of Hatay and in cooperation with the Imam Hussain Cultural Center in Istanbul, organized a major central celebration to commemorate the birth anniversary of Imam Ali (peace be upon him).

Hawzah News Agency- The event was attended by a large gathering of Hatay residents, alongside official and religious figures, as well as guests from Iraq. Sheikh Rahmani, Head of the Ahlulbayt Foundation in Turkey, delivered a speech highlighting the virtues, moral excellence, and exemplary life of Imam Ali (peace be upon him).

The celebration featured a variety of cultural and religious activities and concluded with a competition that included valuable prizes, such as travel tickets for visiting the holy shrines in Iraq, in addition to other symbolic gifts.

This marked the first time such an event has been held in Hatay since the city was severely affected by a devastating earthquake several years ago. In the aftermath of the disaster, the Supreme Religious Authority provided extensive humanitarian assistance to the city’s residents, many of whom are followers of the Ahlulbayt (peace be upon them).
