She added, “I’ve made it to Kerbela. And after attending lectures on Ashura Day and attending Husseinian religious rites and observances, I decided to embrace Shia Islam—the Islamic faith of the Ahlulbait, peace be upon them.”
Kaoser also said that making a pilgrimage to Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, changes one’s life and helps them obtain the true love for the Ahlulbait, peace be upon them, emphasizing, “Following the Ahlulbait, peace be upon them, is the only way to salvation.”
