Betul Turan, a Shia pilgrim from Turkey, said the peace she experiences at Imam Reza Shrine is indescribable.
“Each visit fills me with calm, and I consider the shrine the best place for prayer and supplication to God” she explained.
She added: “At home I follow shrine programs online and greet Imam Reza from afar, but being present at the shrine brings a unique spiritual feeling”.
During her stay she participates in prayers and supplications, especially the recitation of Kumeil and Tawassul prayers, noting that collective prayers bring divine mercy to all participants.
“Pilgrimage to Imam Reza Shrine gives new hope to broken hearts and helps believers remain steadfast amid life’s difficulties. Each time I return home, I soon long to visit again”, she concluded.
