Shiism in Hatla is on the rise, and the men of Iran are the decision makers.

The Iranian Dar al-Zahra Association inaugurated a Shiite session under the supervision of the head of the Iranian Cultural Center in Deir Ezzor, Haj Rasoul, and the coordinator of the role of Husseiniyat, the financial director and teacher at the Zainabiya scholarly seminary ,Yasser Hussein al-Raja, who is the director of the office of Mr. Sadiq al-Shirazi.

The course activities are scheduled to begin, with the advent of the month of Ramadan, in the Shiite shrine of Al-Malali in the town of Hatla, which targets children, by giving gifts, and organizing trips to the Friends’ Park (Kramish) in Hawija Sakr.

This coincided with the opening of the door to Shi’ism for militia members who wish to embrace the Shiite denomination from Hatla and neighboring towns and to offer financial temptations, and most of the new Shi’ites are children of local militia members.
