One of Shia Islam’s most holy cities (the other is Karbala), Najaf is home to the shrine of Ali who was the first Imam believed by Shia’s as the rightful successor to Mohammad.
It is also known for its cemeteries as pious Shia’s believe that Najaf is so holy that to be buried there is to ensure entry into paradise. It is believed to hold more than 5 million graves.
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
Father, would You bring life and light to a place so full of darkness and death? Would You open the eyes of the millions of Shia's that come to Najaf each year and show them that Jesus is the only way, truth, and life? Show them that there is hope in Christ and they can have eternal life through Your perfect Son.
