Arbaeen procession

The Arbaeen mourning ceremony is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world. It marks the 40th day after Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of the grandson of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), Imam Hussein (AS). Each year, a huge crowd of Shias flock to Karbala, where the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (AS) is located, to perform mourning rites. The pilgrims, mainly from Iraq and Iran, travel long routes on foot to the holy city.

IQNA – Our minds unconsciously consider the issue of Arbaeen and the programs related to Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) as separate and different from the Quran, while the Quran and the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) are a single principle, an Iranian official said.
