Love for Imam Hossein Brings Ivory Coast Devotees to Imam Reza Mukib

The two pilgrims joined the shrine servants to show that serving in the path of Ahl al-Bayt (AS) is understood the language of heart and love.
Distance between Ivory Coast and the service stations in Arak, Iran, is thousands of kilometers, but what drew two pilgrims from Africa to the Imam Reza Mukib in Arak were not maps and borders, but only one thing: "love for Imam Hossein (AS)". Their presence was a testament that the name of Hossein (AS) is more than just a name, it is a compass that guides thirsty hearts from farthest corners of the world toward service tents.
Wearing service vests, they went from being pilgrims to serving other pilgrims. They became busy serving in teahouse of the Mukib alongside volunteer servants from Arak with a smiles reflecting their joy and devotion. Watching them as they strived with all their being alongside their comrades to welcome pilgrims was an image of the global unity of Shia; a place where skin color and language fade in face of scent of service and only "the servant" remains.
These two African servants gave everyone a great lesson; that there is no need for words to serve the Imam; it is enough to put your hands to work and open your lips to a smile and your heart to the love of Hossein (AS).
