The Fourth International Conference of Shia Pulpit Elites

Topics

  • The revered shirt of Hazrat Sayyed al-Shuhada (peace be upon him) is the banner of the uprising of the Qa’im (may Allah hasten his reappearance).
  • Drawing a comprehensive strategic map for the Shia, overseeing the elucidation of Karbala’s life-giving geography and equipping the Shia for preparing the right conditions for the advent.

The International Conference of Shia Pulpit Elites presents several years of research by Davood Manafi Pour, Secretary of the Global Assembly of Hazrat Ali Asghar (peace be upon him), regarding the revered shirt of Hazrat Sayyed al-Shuhada (peace be upon him). This research has been presented in the past three conferences with the presence of over 1600 scholars from seminaries and universities, poets, cultural and media elites, and artists from various fields representing 60 nationalities at the holy shrine of Hazrat Ali Ibn Musa al-Ridha (peace be upon him), Jamkaran Mosque, and the holy shrine of Hazrat Aba Abdillah al-Hussain (peace be upon him).

This time, the fourth International Conference of Shia Pulpit Elites will be held with the presence of more than 500 researchers, scholars, and artists from various fields and multiple nationalities near the holy shrine of Hazrat Aba Abdillah al-Hussain (peace be upon him) in Karbala.

Additionally, holding the closing ceremony of the International Festival of Safinat Al-Najat and recognizing the winners of this event, focusing on the revered shirt of Sayyed al-Shuhada (peace be upon him), are among the most important programs of this conference.

May this movement present the everlasting message of Karbala to the world; a message that is a beacon of guidance and an ark of salvation for humanity in every era and time.

Objectives of the Conference

  • Motivating Shia pulpit speakers by presenting several years of research on the revered shirt of Hazrat Aba Abdillah al-Hussain (peace be upon him).
