This morning I visited the Zolfaqar Seminary where I started my religious studies 53 years ago!

First I visited ayatollah Ebrahimi, one of my teachers then in Sadr seminary in Esfahan followed with visiting the Zolfaqar seminary.

The meeting in Zolfaqar school was with ayatollah sayyid Mahdi Imami, (the sayyed on my right side in the photos) the school current leader and the son of the founding imam, late ayatollah Sayyed Hasan imami.

I got very emotional during the meeting, since it was full of memories sharing, questions, answers, past and present!

I was so happy to see one of my old teachers in Zolfaqar , Hamdellah he is still alive and active, he is ayatollah Abtahi , the one who is seating and standing on my left in these photos.

I took our son Mohammad Hussein with me. Since I was his age when I joined the seminary

Our next move will be to Mashhad to visit the shrine of Imam Redha(as) in a couple of days Inshaallah. We will remember our friends and community members in our prayers in the Holy Shrine of Imam Redha(as)
