This day was truly an inspiration for the participants. The concept of marriage as covered by Shiekh Ali Azim Shirazi was very relevant to the western society and was something the participants could all relate to.
The inspiration Ayatullah Lari gave the participants was immense that some people started to read some of his books whilst on the bus travelling between places.
The experience at Bayt al-Noor was an eye opener about how such a great personality dedicated her life to the servitude of Allah.
Finally, the discussion at the park beautifully capped off a very reflective and inspiring day.

Our helpers commented on the proceedings of Tuesday 22nd July after visiting Masjid e Jamkaran:
The day wrapped up with the participants achieving a deeper understanding (Ma’arifat) of Imam-e-Zamana. The ultimate aim of meeting the Imam, though didn’t occur physically, the spiritual bond which was kindled will Inshallah sustain forever. We hope our hearts were sincere enough for Imam to have blessed us with his attention.
