The delegation from Ahl al-Bayt University expressed its appreciation for the efforts exerted in organising the events, commending the high level of planning and organisation, as well as the distinguished initiatives aimed at integrating cultural activities with humanitarian and social causes. The delegation emphasised that inter-university collaboration serves as a motivating factor for the development of academic programmes and student activities alike.

The activities concluded with a valuable lecture delivered by His Eminence Sayyid Hadi Al-Mudarrisi, in which he addressed the profound ethical values derived from the life of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra’ (PBUH) and her role in consolidating the principles of Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) within society.
