Widespread cultural and religious activities by Shirazi centers in Afghanistan

Religious centers affiliated with the Shirazi Religious Authority carried out a range of educational, cultural, and social activities in the Afghan cities of Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif during the Islamic months of Shawwal and Dhu al-Qa’dah 1446 AH.

In Kabul, the Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra Complex hosted a scientific seminar marking the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him), titled “The Role of the Holy Qur’an in Moral Upbringing from the Perspective of Imam al-Sadiq.” The event featured scholarly discussions by Hujjat al-Islam al-Rahimi and Hujjat al-Islam Muhaqqiq Kusha, focusing on Qur’anic and ethical themes in the life of the Imam.

The same complex also organized a celebration for the birth anniversary of Sayyida Fatima al-Ma’suma (peace be upon her), which included the distribution of monthly aid packages to around 150 orphans from the families of martyrs.

Meanwhile, in Mazar-i-Sharif, a training course was held for Shi’a pilgrims from northern Afghan provinces. The course offered practical instruction on Hajj rituals. A delegation from the Shirazi office also visited the Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif for discussions on enhancing religious and cultural programs.

The team later visited the Imam Ali and Imam Mahdi mosques in Aqcha, stressing the importance of continued efforts to promote the teachings of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). These initiatives are part of the Shirazi-affiliated centers’ ongoing mission to spread authentic Islamic culture, reinforce religious foundations, and support vulnerable segments of Afghan society.
