Over the past few days, the Central Office of Grand Shia Jurist Ayatollah Shirazi in holy Qom hosted groups of Shia believers from Lucknow in India who had come on a pilgrimage trip to sacred sites in Iran and Iraq. During this visit, the Indian pilgrims met with the Grand Jurist and listened to statements of his eminence.

The Grand Jurist opened his remarks by congratulating the group on the special occasions and prayed for the reappearance of the Imam of our time.  

His eminence then emphasized the importance of pilgrimage trips saying, “The pilgrimage trips should be accompanied by practical changes in pilgrims. For instance, you as pilgrims should make a firm decision to implement these words by the Prophet of Islam, who recommended us to never become angry.”

The Grand Jurist then added, “The Prophet repeated these words for three times, indicating the importance of these words. In this pilgrimage trip, you should make a resolution not to get angry. You should restrain your anger when you deal with your parents, family, children, neighbors and everyone else.”

At the end of the meeting, the Grand Jurist advised them to make a commitment to control their anger and they will have far less regrets in life.
