The Chant “Ali ibn Musa” Resonated at the Imam Reza’s (A.S.) Shrine.

The vigil ritual of the 21st night of the holy month of Ramadan by the presence of hundreds of thousands of bereaving nocturnal devoted pilgrims and neighbors was held at Imam Reza’s (A.S.) Holy Shrine and the chant “Ali ibn Musa” resonated in the Shrine of the compassionate Imam.

On the eve of the 21st day of Ramadan, millions of Muslims from all over the country hours before the evening prayer call attended the Razavi Shrine to break their fast in there and enjoy the splendid congregational prayer of the Razavi Shrine.
During the very early hours of the night, the Razavi Shrine was full of masses, all came from a child aged several months to the 90-year-old elderly and the presence of the youth and teenagers was also passionate and notable on the second Qadr night alongside the heavenly mausoleum of Imam Reza (A.S.). This presence was so extensive that some people sat at the entrance of the Shrine and whispered prayers to the Lord.
Astan Quds Razavi has provided the necessary arrangements for the optimal hosting of pilgrims from the past days and all the entrances were carpeted, and from some time ago, the wide display panels had installed at the entrances and most of the courtyards so that everyone could take advantage of the Qadr night programs through audio and video.
From 9 p.m., when the Jushan Kabir Prayer began, millions of pilgrims whether they were inside the Shrine or those who seated at the entrances, whispered, “All-Glorified are You; there is no deity but You! Forgive us! Forgive us! Save us from the Fire!” in such a way that a spiritual atmosphere dominated the Shrine of the Eighth Imam (A.S.).
Following in this ceremony, the eulogists of the Infallible Imams (A.S.) read elegies over the martyrdom of Imam Ali (A.S.) and the pilgrims and neighbors, in addition to close communion with the Lord, expressed their love and devotion to Imam Ali (A.S.).
After the completion of graceful and spiritual Prayer of Jushan Kabir, and the eulogy and rawda and reading Imam Hussein’s (A.S.) Prayer, Hujjat al-Islam wa al-Muslimin, Dr. Nasser Rafiei, the professor of the seminary and university, addressed the pilgrims and neighbors of Imam Reza (A.S.).
Acknowledged by most pilgrims and neighbors, the time of keeping Qur’an on the head is one of the pure and indescribable moments of the Razavi Shrine. All those who through the Channel 1 of national broadcasting are witnessing the vigil ritual of the Razavi Shrine, surely wish to participate in this program.
The peak of beauty, servitude, glory and manifestation of the guardianship of the ritual in Imam Reza’s (A.S.) Shrine, was the moment when all the pilgrims, Qur’an on the head, toward Imam’s Reza (A.S.) Shrine rose and chanted “O’ Lord forgive me”, and in every mention of “Ali ibn Musa” they shed tears.
The last moments of the night program of the 21st day of Ramadan 2018 are passing by at the Razavi Shrine, and the hands are toward the sky and all looks toward the golden dome. Once again mentioning “Ali ibn Musa” brings a wave of mystical and romantic tears in all the courtyards and places of Razavi Shrine. At this spiritual moment when the preacher says, “O’ Imam Reza (A.S.), your pilgrim has come tonight with a certain hope” the sound of cries raises again and once again all shout, O’ Lord, forgive me”.
In this endeared night, in which the creator has opened the doors of divine mercy, Razavi pilgrims appealed pardon to the realm of the Lord, and prayed in the Shrine of Imam Reza (A.S.) to expedite the reappearance of the absent Imam.
