Damascus (IP) – The Sayyidah Zaynab Shrine in the southern suburbs of Damascus, a revered site for Shia Muslims, opens its doors to welcome pilgrims and worshippers every day from morning until evening. Iran Press has shared images of the shrine, capturing the solemn devotion of visitors.

Iran Press/West Asia: The shrine holds deep significance for Shia Muslims, as it is the resting place of Sayyidah Zaynab (peace be upon her), the granddaughter of Prophet Muhammad. Known for her unwavering resilience during the tragedy of Karbala, her legacy inspires millions worldwide.

In the wake of Syria’s evolving political landscape, Shia communities have increasingly embraced the shrine as a space for prayer, reflection, and religious ceremonies. Pilgrims from across Syria gather here to seek spiritual solace and honor the profound legacy of Sayyidah Zaynab.
