A Russian convert visited the Holy Shrine of Imam Ali(PBUH).

Olka was Christian and she converted to Shiism. She visited the Holy Shrine of Imam Ali (PBUH). Women’s Affairs Department received her.


Olka said, “I came to Iraq and I promised myself not to go anywhere before I visit the holy shrine of Imam Ali (PBUH).

I feel happy at being with you and seeing how women work through this department to serve the pilgrims and the society contrary to the common thought that Muslim women must stay at home and be inactive.”

At the end of her visit, the department presented her some gifts to her as souvenirs.
