The head of the local AhlulBayt (a.s.) Assembly of the Netherlands stated, “When I came to the Netherlands, the ceremonies, and programs for AhlulBayt (a.s.) were held scarcely, and ten to fifteen Shiites would gather in a house and mourn for AhlulBayt (a.s.). But today, with the blessing of AhlulBayt (a.s.), religious ceremonies are held not only in every city but also in every European village.”
