According to the correspondent of Rasa News Agency in the holy city of Najaf, a group of Iraqi and foreign Shiites met Ayatollah Sheikh Bashir Najafi, a source of emulation.

During the visit, Ayatollah Najafi stated, “The man ought to improve his manner and individual behaviour through self-observation, watching his steps and steering clear of the wrong.”

He added, “The man is supposed to have recourse to the religion, its principles and the instructions of Ahl al-Bayt (AS).”

This source of emulation finally maintained, “Pilgrimage to the holy shrines is a good opportunity for correction, following the moral behaviour and stopping the commitment of the sins, as these holy places can act as a starting point for purifying the self and society.”
