Razan Samireh al-Haj Dayyab, a member of this group, stated, “Being present and having a pilgrimage in Imam Reza’s (A.S.) Holy Shrine is like a dream for me. My feeling when I am here cannot be described”.  
He stated, “When I stepped into the Holy Shrine of the gracious Imam (A.S.), I forgot all of my grief. I think pilgrims will not feel strange in this holy place as long as they are here as Imam Reza (A.S.) is hospitable and gracious”.
