Cleric Underlines Learning about Virtues of Hazrat Masoumeh (SA)

TEHRAN (IQNA) – The head of the Imam Khomeini Education and Research Institute highlighted the need for learning more about the virtues and character of Hazrat Masoumeh (SA).

Speaking to IQNA on the occasion of the anniversary of Hazrat Masoumeh’s arrival in Qom, Ayatollah Mahmoud Rajabi said Islamic seminaries should make efforts to introduce the Seerah of the great lady and different aspects of her character.

Hazrat Masoumeh (SA) is the daughter of Imam Kadhim (AS), the 7th Shia Imam and her mausoleum in Qom is visited by millions of Shia Muslims from Iran and other countries around the world every year.

The 23^rd day of the lunar Hijri month of Rab al-Awwal, which fell on Saturday, October 30, this year, marks the anniversary of Hazrat Masoumeh’s arrival in Qom 13 centuries ago.

Ayatollah Rajabi said the great lady had a sublime spiritual and scholarly character.
