Iran Press/ Africa: As the celebrations were about to be rounded up, the birth anniversary of Sayeda Fatima (as) eventually turned to be a mourning gathering to honor the victims of Wednesday's terrorist attack that claimed the lives of nearly 103 Iranians who gathered at the cemetery to conduct the 4th commemoration of the martyrdom of Lt. General Qasem Soleimani, in Kerman, Iran.
In the Federal Capital Territory, Malama Amina Zariya delivered a speech on the obedience of Sayyeda Fatima (as) to her father and husband to be copied especially by women.
In Bauchi State where followers of Ahlulbayt also took some days to celebrate the birth anniversary of the Queen of Heaven, the program concluded on Wednesday evening by mourning the martyrdom of Iranian believers who lost their lives in the terrorist bomb attack on Wednesday.
In an exclusive interview with the representative of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, in the North Eastern State, Sheikh Ahmad Yusuf Yashi said the terrorists that did the attack would never achieve their goal.
"In the first place, having found ourselves in this month that coincides with the birth of the daughter of the holy Prophet Muhammad, Sayyeda Zahra (as), members of the Islamic Movement everywhere in Nigeria are gathering within this day to celebrate the birthday of the daughter of the holy Prophet. It was while we were celebrating, we heard about the bomb blast or bomb attack that occurred in Kerman in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, we are using this session of the celebration of the birth anniversary of the daughter of the Prophet to as well strongly condemn the bomb attack in Kerman."Sheikh Ahmad Yashi added, "It is indeed a terrorist attack."
The terrorists did this to cover the light of Qasem Soleimani, and this can not be achieved whatsoever. The senior member of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria also urged international communication to assist the Iranian Government in fishing out the terrorists involved in the attack to face the law.
"Therefore, we are calling on both the National and International community to condemn this atrocity and also to help the Islamic Republic of Iran to fish out those culprits and prosecute them as well."
Another female senior member of the Islamic Movement, Ruqayya Muhammad, in an exclusive interview with Iran Press, emphasizes that America and Israel are the sponsors of the terrorist attack in Kerman."We are from God and to him we shall return.
First and foremost, we express our condolences to the leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, and the entire Muslim world on the terrorist attack in Iran. We are here to celebrate the birth anniversary of Lady Fatima (as), then we heard about the bad news of the attack in Iran.
This terrorist attack will never weaken resistance against world arrogance. No matter what type of terrorism of America and Israel, we will not stop the struggle to establish justice. Believers are always ready to face American terrorism. Even here in Nigeria, where we are celebrating this birth anniversary, they can do a similar attack against us. We are ready for their terrorism. We pray that may Allah accept the martyrdom of those who lost their lives and protect leaders of resistance in the world," said Ruqayya Muhammad.
