The Imam Mahdy sanctuary is one of the holy sites and landmarks in Kerbala city. Tens of thousands of pilgrims come to visit it and seek blessing.
It's located on the left bank of the EL-Husseinia River, at the North entrance of Kerbala holy city. It is 650 meters far from the Imam Hussein holy shrine. It's been named as (EL-Mahdy sanctuary) regarding the name of the awaited Imam EL-Mahdy (may Allah hasten his appearance). It's been mentioned that Imam EL-Mahdy (may Allah hasten his appearance) had prayed at this holy place, and that made it very sacred. It's considered one of the most significant holy sanctuaries in Kerbala holy city for being related to Imam EL-Mahdy (may Allah hasten his appearance). It's attended annually on a special occasion known as EL-Sha'banya Pilgrimage, which is one of the most important pilgrimages for the adorers of Ahlulbait (p.b.u.y). About 15 millions of pilgrims gathered there on the 15th Night of Sha'ban, approximately corresponded to June 24th.
We have had an interview with the assistant head of the Imam EL-Mahdy sanctuary Mr. Nazar Ghany Kheleel, in which he said, "It's a constantly visited holy place, where so many people from all over the world are interested to be cognizant of and blessed by Allah for visiting such a great holy sanctuary.
