Holy Karbala Inaugurates Sayyida Zainab Grand Hussainiya with Religious and Community Support
……………

Holy Karbala recently hosted the inauguration of the Sayyida Zainab Grand Hussainiya, founded by the mother of Ayatollah Sayyida Mohammed Riza al-Shirazi, wife of the late Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad al-Shirazi. The ceremony took place during the month of Safar and was attended by numerous scholars and worshippers.

Ayatollah Sayyid Mahdi al-Shirazi spoke about the modest beginnings of the Hussainiya, noting how his mother dedicated her inheritance, supplemented by believers’ contributions, to purchase and develop the site over 13 years into a five-story religious complex.

He highlighted the late Grand Ayatollah Shirazi’s dedication to establishing religious institutions, citing the prophetic tradition on lasting deeds: beneficial knowledge, ongoing charity, and righteous offspring.

This Hussainiya embodies all three, serving as a charitable project, a source of valuable religious knowledge, and a spiritual legacy through devoted descendants. The event concluded with a Hussaini mourning session led by Sheikh Abdul Reda Ma’ash.
