Michigan, Detroit (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - For the fifth year in a row, IMAM Mahdi Association of Marjaeya (I.M.A.M.) celebrated its Takleef (puberty) Party in Detroit. 21 girls had the privilege to wear the Islamic headscarf.

There were moments of pride and happiness between the parents, relatives and loved ones and Muslims in the Detroit area, on Sunday, June 22, 2013. The ceremony included a special workshop to teach the young women about their responsibilities of the hijab (veil) and the establishment of prayer. Gifts were also presented along with honorary certificates of pride for them. IMAM has also honored the ceremony’s founder and its Director Mona Chaib, who is making great efforts each year for our girls.

The ceremony had sponsored Sayyid M B Kashmiri, where he presented the prizes to the girls, and delivered a speech on the occasion. He touched on key points, which include community challenges and risks that we must pay attention to, including the risk of losing the Shiite Muslim identity; the hijab itself is an honor and a symbol of pure women in Islam, and should be worn with pride. He also spoke about the risk of damaging the demographic face of the followers of Ahl al-Bayt creating peace and a great help to bring thousands of refugees, including a large number of extremists who were carrying arms in the Middle East to Dearborn area.

So the higher authorities of the state think carefully before approval and make it easier for them to enter such a region; for the conflict is possible and could lead to instability and chaos in the area, which one does not want our country and our society. Finally, Sayyid Kashmiri concluded with Supplication to save the community and country from all evil extremists.
