Muslims in Tanzania have gathered to welcome Imam Reza’s convoys – AKA ‘In the Shade of Sun’ – in the wake of celebrations to mark the birth anniversary of the eighth Shia Imam and grandson of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
Large crowds of people have taken to the streets of the largest city in Tanzania, Dar es Salaam, to welcome the flag of Imam Reza (AS) holy shrine.
The country has been one of the destinations for ‘In the Shade of Sun’ convoys so that more Muslims across the globe can get the chance after two years of pandemic-related restrictions.
Mohammad Hassan Ostad Agha, head of Karamat Razavi Foundation, and the delegation of holy shrine servants in attendance were warmly welcomed by thousands of fervent Muslims in the East African country.
The flag was also passed through the elated crowd accompanied with eulogies for Imam Reza (AS).
Iranian ambassador, cultural advisor and staff at Embassy of the Islamic Republic in Tanzania also welcomed the convoy from the holy shrine of the eighth Shia Imam.
The convoy further proceeded towards Iranian embassy in Tanzania and the ceremony continued with Iran’s ambassador and cultural advisor in attendance.
