The Arbaeen Pilgrimage is a global event under the banner of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him)
The pilgrimage of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) on the twentieth of Safar in Karbala, or the Arbaeen Pilgrimage, is a human and global gathering that goes beyond the religious aspect, and constitutes an unprecedented social event in the world due to the significance of the pilgrimage on the educational, ideological, political, media and cultural levels.
Although the pilgrimage is characterized by the Shiite sectarian aspect, it expresses the deep-rootedness of the Husseini cause in the faith conscience of Muslims in general and the human conscience of the entire world. It is practically a renewed pulse of life for the revolutionary jihadist thought seeking freedom from the authority of the oppressors, and the emancipation of the soul from the shackles of the concepts of submission, humiliation and defeat.
Imam Hussein (PBUH) in the face of the system of corruption
Imam Hussein (PBUH) founded the renaissance, and wanted to save the nation from the framework of evil to the framework of mercy and freedom, and for this reason his message was divine and humane, and he also wanted to fight the system of corruption, which has spread in society and liberate it from that moral collapse, so we cannot say we are Husseinis as long as we accept injustice, corruption and tyranny, as this Ashura extension is an extension of Husseini freedom, and the family of the Messenger of God raised the banner of Hussein (PBUH) as a guide to the struggle for Husseini freedom and to demand reform in the nation of the Messenger of God (PBUH) and to combat the corrupt.
Throughout history, tyrants have feared every gathering or demonstration, and they have fought this Ashura extension; because it represents the struggle for freedom against tyrants, but they did not succeed, because the greater the issue in its meanings, the more society adhered to it with greater strength, including the defunct Saddam regime, which prevented it for more than thirty years, but has it ended? It has not ended, because it is a cause based on great divine principles that transcend all historical eras and successive generations. Tyrants have disappeared, but Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) remains. This is the greatest lesson that everyone must stop at to learn that tyrannical regimes cannot deprive the meanings of Husseini freedom.
The methodological cultural framework in Husseini thought . The visit is not a rigid ritual of mourning, grief and crying ceremonies, but rather a process of contemplation on how to confront injustice even by sacrificing lives and money. The culture of the victory of blood over the sword or the victory of the approach is the essence of the Husseini cause, which embodies the Arbaeen pilgrimage the most prominent examples of commitment to its goals and aspirations and spreading its message. One of the features of this culture is that strategic political victory is more important than immediate material victory. Also, performing the duty is the duty after securing the factors and removing the obstacles, and regardless of the result, and the price must be proportionate to the goal and purpose, and there is no fear in a cry of truth against an oppressor.
The visit is an indispensable opportunity to spread the principles of the Husseini renaissance, convey its teachings, and raise awareness about its foundations and remove suspicions about it. It is a duty to invest this event in educational work by taking advantage of the large crowds of different colors and languages, whether by presenting the best image of the visit on the individual and collective level or on the level of various institutions in the cultural field to organize appropriate events and activities. Here comes its media role, as the Arbaeen visit provides the largest media platform that the largest media stations cannot provide. Visitors from all over the world and in different languages send a message of unity about justice and adherence to the truth and disbelief in falsehood and its followers. Thus, the Arbaeen visit has become the strongest platform for the voice of the nation to convey its concerns, aspirations and goals, which are summarized in unity, reform, solidarity, organization, faith, strength and courage. An unparalleled social phenomenon The Arbaeen pilgrimage has truly become the largest religious gathering in all parts of the world, and the most diverse in terms of affiliations and nationalities; and its most important results are intellectual cross-fertilization and cognitive communication. It is an opportunity for various civilizations to meet, ensuring that each visitor gains a diverse knowledge and principled knowledge base. In it, you find the East and the West, and from various religions, sects and intellectual trends, in a state of harmony and coexistence.

The most important outcome of the Arbaeen pilgrimage is the dedication of the culture of volunteer work, due to its religious, emotional and intellectual background that possesses social motivations and incentives for volunteer work that exceed all global institutional capabilities in this field. Over thousands of kilometers and from all directions leading to the holy city of Karbala and for several days, you find the old and the young, men and women in continuous movement, making tremendous efforts and huge sums of money out of conviction and sincerity without the slightest complaint or frustration, and without any worldly material reward in return for what they do.
