Media’s Role in Preventing Distortion of Arbaeen Highlighted
Addressing a media event at the Assembly’s headquarters in Qom on Wednesday, Ayatollah Reza Ramezani said that if one looks at Arbaeen from the point of view of civilization, he would recognize the great responsibility of the people of art and media to present it properly to the world.
Arbaeen is a capacity and an opportunity that the enemy seriously seeks to twist and misrepresent, he warned.
It is the responsibility of the media persons to provide the correct narrative of the event to prevent its distortion by the enemy, he added.
The most important dimensions of Arbaeen should be presented via the language of art, Ayatollah Ramezani stated.
He also called for efforts to promote teaching the Arbaeen civilizational phenomenon and the lifestyle of Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS).
Arbaeen is a religious event observed by Shia Muslims on the fortieth day after the Day of Ashura, commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the third Shia imam.
