Millions of people gathered inside mosques and other religious centers all over the country to celebrate the auspicious occasion.
Each year, people in different Muslim countries celebrate the 15th of Sha’ban and pray for Imam Mahdi’s advent, because they believe he will redeem the world from injustice and tyranny.
According to Islamic scripture, the last Shia Imam was born, but disappeared and will remain hidden from humanity until he reappears to bring justice to the world.
