The Imam Hussain Holy Shrine has launched its sixth annual summer religious course in the Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, attracting the participation of more than 10,000 male and female students.

Held in coordination with various religious schools and representatives of the Supreme Religious Authority, the course spans over 103 educational centers across the region.

Sheikh Nasser Abbas Al-Najafi, the Shrine's representative in Pakistan, stated, “This course aims to strengthen the religious and moral foundations of secondary school students by offering focused instruction in jurisprudence, Islamic doctrines, ethics, the Prophet’s biography, and Quranic recitation. These lessons are delivered by a team of qualified scholars and preachers.”

He added, “The program has seen significant engagement from local communities, with coordination committees working diligently to create a supportive educational environment tailored to the region’s unique social and cultural context. This has been made possible through the active involvement of local dignitaries and religious leaders.”

Al-Najafi noted that students will undergo final assessments at the conclusion of the course. A central closing ceremony is scheduled to take place in the city of Skardu, where outstanding students will be recognized and awarded.

This initiative is part of a broader series of educational and cultural programs organized by the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine in various countries, aimed at reinforcing the religious identity of Shia communities and deepening their connection with the teachings of the Ahlulbayt (peace be upon them).
