Baghdad University Chief: Hazrat Zahra's Voice of Truth Lives On in Imam Hussein's Uprising

Dr. Alaa Abdul-Hassan al-Zughaibi, president of the University of Baghdad, said the 11th "Al-Siddiqa al-Tahira" cultural festival is an opportunity to draw inspiration from human and moral values and to consolidate the meanings of commitment to national identity.

Hawzah News Agency- The remarks came during the festival's programs, organized by the university relations and school relations branch of the public relations department of the Holy Abbasid Shrine on the occasion of the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her), commemorating her life and the values of faith, knowledge, chastity and steadfastness in principles that she embodied.

From Purity and Patience to the Voice of Truth: Zahra's Legacy in Imam Hussein's Uprising

Al-Zughaibi said the University of Baghdad is pleased to host this gathering, which revives the memory of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (peace be upon him) and her place in Islamic history—a figure who was a lofty example of purity, faith and patience, a voice of truth in difficult circumstances, and a school in upbringing, awareness and responsibility whose impact spread across generations. Her values manifested in the lives of her children and their immortal stances, especially the uprising of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), which became a symbol of sacrifice and steadfastness in principles.

He added that keeping this memory alive is not limited to rereading a historical event, but is an opportunity to draw inspiration from the human and moral values that Hazrat Zahra embodied, and to consolidate the meanings of sincerity, awareness and commitment to identity and spiritual and national values in the souls of generations.

University's Mission Is Not Only Education, but Building Humans and Strengthening Cultural and Moral Awareness

He noted that the university's mission is not limited to education and knowledge, but extends to building the human being, strengthening his cultural and moral awareness, and consolidating the values that preserve the identity and authenticity of society.

The university president expressed appreciation for the Holy Abbasid Shrine's initiative in honoring female students committed to wearing the chador, in recognition of their adherence to the hijab and authentic Islamic values and what this reflects of pride in the society's cultural and religious identity.

At the end of his remarks, he thanked the Holy Abbasid Shrine for its efforts in organizing the annual festival, stressing that the University of Baghdad is keen to host cultural and religious activities that help strengthen awareness and consolidate human and moral values.
