The leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibrahim Yaqub Zakzaky, has traveled to Iraq to participate in the funeral ceremonies honoring the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei.

Hawzah News Agency- the revered Nigerian cleric arrived in Iraq to join the millions of mourners bidding farewell to the martyred Leader. Funeral processions and commemorative ceremonies are scheduled to take place across the holy cities of Baghdad, Najaf, and Karbala, drawing devotees and dignitaries from across the Muslim world.

Iraqi officials and religious authorities have made extensive preparations to host the massive outpouring of grief, with the courtyards of the holy shrines of Imam Ali (Peace Be Upon Him) in Najaf and Imam Hussein (Peace Be Upon Him) in Karbala expected to be filled with mourners reciting elegies, beating their chests, and reaffirming their allegiance to the path of the martyrs. The ceremonies in Iraq are anticipated to serve as a powerful display of cross-border Islamic solidarity and a renewal of commitment to the ideals of resistance and steadfastness championed by the martyred Leader throughout his blessed life.

Following the conclusion of the funeral rites in Iraq, Sheikh Zakzaky will journey to the holy city of Mashhad in the Islamic Republic of Iran to attend the final farewell and burial ceremony. The report confirms that the body of the martyred Leader will be laid to rest at the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (Peace Be Upon Him), a site of profound spiritual significance where countless pilgrims and lovers of the Ahl al-Bayt from around the globe will gather to pay their final respects.

Sheikh Zakzaky's attendance across multiple stages of the funeral underscores the deep bonds of loyalty, struggle, and shared ideology that unite the pro-resistance movements of the Muslim Ummah with the Islamic Revolution and its martyred guardians. The long journey of the Nigerian Islamic leader from Iraq to Iran reflects the monumental loss felt across the axis of resistance and the wider Islamic world.
