To commemorate the tragic martyrdom of Imam Ja'far as-Sadeq(PBUH), a huge condolence banner was hung at the entrance of Qibla gate of the holy shrine of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (PBUH). The banner is 28 m long and 6 m wide, on which was stitched in white the following expression "May Allah pray upon Ja'far son of Mohamad the proof of the Lord of the two worlds" and on its two sides it was stitched in green "Sadeq [truthful] in the saying" and " Sadeq in action".

The al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine in all its inside and outside pavilions was covered with black declaring the state of mourning for the martyrdom anniversary of Imam as-Sadeq (peace be upon him) on the 25th of Shawwal.
