According to the report issued from news staff of the Razavi birthday celebrations, Hujjat al-Islam Waiz Mousavi said: To promote the Razavi culture, the conduct (Sireh) of Imam Reza (A.S.) must be introduced to people.

He continued: the interest of Shi'ites to the realm of Imam Reza (A.S.) is an endless wealth which provides the necessary grounds for participation of people in the public celebrations of "Under the shade of Sun". This interest on the part of the Shi'ites also helps these public and spiritual celebrations to change into objective samples of Islamic and Iranian celebrations.

About the procedure of these public celebrations holding, this religious expert said: Those who are interested in beauty and art can hold happy and religious programs for people in the Dahe-ye Karamat. By doing this, they can increase the effect of these programs on the people while they are creating a joyful and religious atmosphere.

Saying that we have not paid attention to religious celebrations in our country up to now, Waiz Mousavi said: Offering words of infallible Imams (A.S.) in the form of life skills by the scholars can have an important role in promotion of the Ahl al-Bayt's (A.S.) conduct (Sireh).

He added: Presenting training packages with the approach of attention to the Razavi lifestyle leads to promotion of religious lifestyle and this movement, as a step toward promoting more accurate Razavi style and conduct (Sireh), is seen among different sects of the society particularly among the youth.

It is worth mentioning that the 6th term of the national and spiritual celebrations of "Under shade of Sun" is held in the current year and coincident with the birthday of Imam Reza (A.S.) in the Dahe-ye Karamat. These celebrations are held in 120 cities in 22 provinces and also in 17 cities in 6 countries, including Germany, India, Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and the UAE.
