During his visit, Governor Makki engaged in discussions with Hojat-ol-Islam Seyyed Ali Akbar Ojaghnejad, the mosque's custodian.

Makki expressed his contentment with the visit and the opportunity to converse with the mosque's officials.

Ojaghnejad highlighted Najaf’s significance as a spiritual center for Shia Muslims globally and called for increased collaboration between the sacred sites of Iran and Iraq.

He also affirmed the willingness of Jamkaran's servants to assist in the organization of the Arbaeen March.

The meeting culminated with a symbolic act where Ojaghnejad bestowed a servant's badge upon Governor Makki, officially designating him as an honorary servant of the revered shrine.

Jamkaran was built in the year 393 AH (1003 by the Gregorian calendar) by Hassan Bin Maslah on the order of Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his advent), the Twelfth Imam of the Shia Muslims.
