Seyyed Muhammad Javad Hashemi Nejad said, “Holy Shrine’s management of non-Iranian pilgrims serves all these guests by holding special programs and offering various cultural gifts”. He also stressed, “Over 300 Sunni brothers have visited Razavi Holy Shrine during the last nine months. Most of these guests were from Pakistan, India, Central Asia, Afghanistan, Nigeria and Russia and some of them were prominent figures in the areas of sports, commerce, and religion”.

Saying that maximum and minimum numbers of non-Iranian pilgrims belong to Pakistan and Nigeria respectively, Hashemi Nejad said, “Classes of Razavi conduct, introducing Razavi Holy Shrine, and visiting different museums of Astan Quds Razavi are some of the services rendered to this group of people”.

“Also, some special programs such as collective prayers and other cultural programs are provided by this office, cooperating with the caravans”, Hashemi Nejad made the remark.

Referring to these caravans’ prominent figures, he added, “Sunni Friday prayers, forty Sunni Muslims from Thailand, some Afghan scholars, and other Sunni brothers from countries in Central Asia who participated at International Qur’an Competitions are some of these people”.

He also said, “Imam Reza’s (A.S.) Holy Shrine is a place which hosts not only Shi’ites but also other lovers of Hazrat Muhammad’s (S.A.W.) blessed family”.
