AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf said the capital of the Islamic Republic is proud of hosting the holy mausoleum of Hazrat Abdul Azim Hassani (AS).
Speaking at the opening session of the parliament on Tuesday morning, he congratulated the Iranian people, especially those living in Tehran, on the birth anniversary of the revered figure.
“We at the capital of the Islamic country, Tehran, are proud that we have a refuge like the Astan (holy shrine) of Hazrat Abdul Azim (AS),” he said.
Ghalibaf also stated that as Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has said, honoring Hazrat Abul Azim (AS) is honoring knowledge, Jihad, piety and God-fearing.

His holy shrine in Rey, south of the Iranian capital of Tehran, is a pilgrimage site that attracts millions of pilgrims from across Iran and other parts of the world every year.
