Conference themes

The first theme: Human Studies and Research

The Arbain pilgrimage represents a unique humanitarian phenomenon on both the local and international levels, distinguished by its humanitarian characteristics. These are reflected in the significant events that enrich the religious and philosophical heritage of societies. This legacy is intrinsically linked to the historical sequence of events surrounding the pilgrimage, as well as its ongoing manifestations through history. Noble philosophical values emerge from the essence of Islam and the spirit of the eternal message of Prophet Muhammad, which have had a profound impact on poetry, literature, and culture, all of which are enriched by the legacy of the Arbain pilgrimage. Media and religious tourism also play a critical role in shaping the nature of the pilgrimage, its rituals, and its psychological, social, educational, and economic impacts. Additionally, they support the efforts of those who work to present the pilgrimage in the dignified manner it deserves, as well as recognizing the contributions of volunteers in organizing the event. The human studies and research within the conference proceedings will focus on the following topics:
1. Thought and Beliefs: Studying the impact of religious and philosophical thought on society.

The second theme: The Arbain Pilgrimage and Contemporary Technological Applications of Applied Sciences.

The Arbain Pilgrimage, along with contemporary technological applications and advancements in applied sciences, plays a vital and effective role in managing the various activities of the pilgrimage. Planning for this event before the pilgrimage season requires identifying technological, infrastructural, and logistical challenges, as well as developing strategies to ensure the smooth execution of the pilgrimage rituals within the designated timeframe and geographical scope. The goal is to avoid obstacles or disruptions, particularly in the areas of humanitarian services and related administrative and service functions. The application of modern technology and scientific knowledge in this context revolves around the following themes:
1. The Role of Cybersecurity: Ensuring the protection of peaceful coexistence among nations in accordance with the Arbain pilgrimage rituals.
2. Modern Technologies in Cybersecurity: Safeguarding data and digital identities during the Arbain pilgrimage.
3. Digital Crisis Management: Addressing the challenges of crisis management in the digital realm during the Arbain pilgrimage.

The third theme: Sociology and the Arbain Pilgrimage

The Arbain pilgrimage is a humanitarian phenomenon in which the highest values and morals are embodied at their fullest. This pilgrimage derives its honor and significance from the position of Imam Hussein ibn Ali, peace be upon him, and his martyrdom on the holy land of Karbala, all for the sake of upholding the religion of his grandfather, Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and 14 his family. From this perspective, various trends and methodologies emerge to study the nature of the Arbain pilgrimage, the moral values it represents, the rights of the pilgrims, the customs and traditions associated with the pilgrimage, and its psychological effects. The goal is to derive insights that enhance collective spirit and contribute to the success of gatherings and processions, based on the following principles and disciplines:
1. Sociology of the Arbain Pilgrimage and the Development of Methodologies for Studying the Phenomenon.
2. Study of the Customs and Traditions of Pilgrims and Their Impact on the Arbain Pilgrimage.
3. The Psychological Effects of the Arbain Pilgrimage on Pilgrims.
4. Strengthening the Collective Spirit of the Arbain Community through High Moral Values.
5. Study of the Challenges Facing the Human Rights of Pilgrims During the Arbain Pilgrimage.
6. Husseini Processions: Understanding How They Operate and the Principles Followed in Organizing Them.

The Fourth theme: The Position of the Ruling Authorities Towards the Arbain Pilgrimage

The Arbain pilgrimage is, in fact, a mass demonstration of millions, where pilgrims express their support for the lofty values for which Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, was martyred, and their commitment to the principles of the Husseini revolution against injustice and tyranny. This massive march has historically instilled fear in the unjust ruling authorities, who viewed it as a direct challenge to their oppressive rule and a serious threat to their thrones. As a result, they sought to suppress the participants and persecute them using the most heinous forms of oppression. This repression and persecution were most violently manifested during the years of the former regime’s rule, making it essential to document these historical events and conduct research on the most significant of them, particularly: The Safar Uprising of 1977 and the political events intertwined with it, as well as their impact on the pilgrimage.

The fifth topic: Crowd Management and Security

The Arbain pilgrimage is a massive humanitarian event, characterized by the presence of millions of pilgrims in a single location over several weeks. This creates significant logistical, administrative, and security challenges. Effectively managing such a large-scale event requires the full mobilization of administrative, operational, and security resources within the areas that host the activities of the Arbain pilgrimage. In order to address these challenges, extensive research and study are necessary in the following areas:
1. Developing Effective Strategies: Organizing the movement of pilgrims, controlling congestion, and facilitating crowd flow.
2. Study and Analysis of Security Threats: Identifying and addressing security risks associated with the Arbain pilgrimage, preparing emergency procedures, and developing plans to maintain public safety.
3. Utilizing Artificial Intelligence Technologies: Analyzing crowd movements and ensuring the efficiency and speed of security responses through AI technologies.
4. Addressing Emerging Health Crises: Providing first aid and basic healthcare, and training pilgrims to handle health emergencies during the pilgrimage.
5. Information Security: Ensuring the protection of sensitive data and maintaining the stability of the Arbain community through information security measures.
6. Analysis of the Role of Civil Society Organizations: Examining how civil society organizations can be activated and involved in supporting the organization of the Arbain pilgrimage.
7. Study of Environmental and Logistical Impacts: Analyzing the environmental and logistical challenges of organizing the Arbain pilgrimage and developing sustainable solutions.

The establishment of the University of Baghdad

City of Karbala

Karbala is an Iraqi city located in the center of the country and is considered one of the most important religious cities for Muslims, especially for the Shiite sect. Karbala is distinguished by its historical and religious importance due to the occurrence of the famous Battle of Karbala on the tenth of Muharram in the year 61 AH (680 AD), in which Imam Hussein bin Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, and his companions were martyred after confronting the army of Yazid bin Muawiyah. Karbala is a symbol of revolution against injustice and the search for justice, and Imam Hussein has become a symbol of sacrifice and steadfastness in the face of tyranny. The martyrdom of Imam Hussein is commemorated every year in the Ashura ceremonies, which attract millions of visitors from all over the world to commemorate this event. Karbala contains important religious landmarks, such as the shrine of Imam Hussein and his brother Abbas bin Ali. These shrines attract millions of pilgrims annually, especially during Arbaeen, which is the fortieth anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, which is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world. In addition to its religious significance, Karbala plays a major cultural and historical role in the collective memory of Muslims, and represents a symbol of faith in high moral principles and values. .
