The Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine held a preparatory meeting to discuss arrangements for the seventh annual central graduation ceremony for students from Iraqi universities and institutes, titled the "By the Light of the Moon" cohort.

The meeting was chaired by the Deputy Secretary-General of the Holy Shrine, Mohammed Ali Azhar Al-Shammari, and was attended by department heads, as well as officials from the divisions and centers tasked with executing the ceremony’s requirements.

The event is organized by the University and School Relations Division—part of the Holy Shrine’s Public Relations Department—under the framework of the Youth of Al-Kafeel National Project.

Mahmoud Taher Salman, head of the division, stated: "The meeting involved reviewing proposals from the participating departments and discussing their preparations. This ensures that efforts are unified and integrated, allowing the ceremony to be presented in an exemplary manner, facilitating the reception of participating students, and effectively conveying the message of the Al-Kafeel Youth National Project to Iraqi universities."

Yousef Al-Ta’i, Administrative Assistant to the Holy Shrine’s Department of Education, added: "This meeting aligns with the vision of the General Secretariat of the Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine. It focused on strategic planning and the specific details of this national celebration, ensuring that every segment is well-prepared and presented in a way that honors the participating students and reflects the core message of the initiative." He added that "the Department of Education and Instruction has presented its comprehensive plan regarding the tasks assigned to it. This includes organizing and managing the ceremony’s segments—conducted from two stages: one at the Qibla Gate and the other in the area between the two Holy Shrines—as well as hosting an evening carnival within the grounds of the Educational Complex. The plan also addresses potential challenges and outlines appropriate solutions for them."

This meeting is part of a series of organizational, technical, and logistical preparations for the seventh edition of the central graduation ceremony for students from Iraqi universities and institutes—the "By the Guidance of the Moon" cohort—ensuring that the roles of all relevant departments, divisions, and centers are well-coordinated to guarantee the success of the event.
