Hawzah News Agency- According to reports, the Pakistani students established the "Mawakeb of the Pakistani Nation" along the sprawling festive route in the Iranian capital. The initiative served as a vivid expression of love for the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (peace be upon him), and a demonstration of unity with the Iranian people on the joyous occasion of Eid al-Ghadir, which marks the appointment of Imam Ali as the Prophet Muhammad's successor.
Throughout the event, the seminarians warmly welcomed attendees and provided an array of services to the faithful marking the auspicious day. Visitors to the Pakistani mawakeb were treated to cool syrups and chilled drinking water to beat the summer heat, alongside fresh fruit and hot tea. The gesture was widely welcomed by the large crowds taking part in the kilometer-long festive gathering, one of the largest public religious celebrations in the region.
Speaking to reporters, organizers of the mawakeb stated that the primary aim of the initiative was to profess love and devotion for Imam Ali (peace be upon him) while affirming solidarity with the nation of the Islamic Republic of Iran. They emphasized that the enthusiastic presence of Pakistani students at the celebration stands as a powerful symbol of the deep-rooted religious and cultural bonds shared by the two neighboring countries.
The organizers further noted that such participation reflects the spirit of unity and mutual empathy that flourishes in the shadow of shared love for the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), the Prophet's purified household. They stressed that the mawakeb tradition, deeply embedded in Islamic culture and particularly associated with the Arbaeen pilgrimage, has become a vehicle for fostering brotherhood among Muslim nations.
The grand Ghadir street festival, stretching 10 kilometers across Tehran, draws millions of participants each year. Families, youth, and religious devotees gather to commemorate the historic event at Ghadir Khumm, celebrating the completion of the divine message and the guardianship of Imam Ali. The participation of international students and communities adds a distinct transnational character to the annual celebration, underscoring the unifying message of the occasion.
