The Arbaeen pilgrimage of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him)

قصة الحسين

This is what happens in dead nations that have lost their connection to their religious beliefs or lack a role model to take pride in. The Arbaeen pilgrimage acts like a high-voltage electric current in the body of the nation, giving it a sufficient charge to reprogram our thoughts and review our path in life year after year. Such a nation will never die so long as it has Hussain.

All calamities start out large, but the days squeeze them until they shrink. No human event can retain its heat and momentum for a long time; the proof is that the great events of history, and the many testimonies to them, cannot withstand the erosion of time and years.

Except for the cause of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him), which has remained resistant to time. With every passing year, it becomes more deeply rooted in the depths and conscience of the nation, and its followers multiply from all corners of the earth.

The Arbaeen pilgrimage of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) has concluded, and government authorities have announced the success of their planned strategy, giving statistics of the visitors, whose number reached 21,280,525.

It is an enormous number—one that even the greatest countries would be incapable of providing the simplest services for.

Yet foreign and Arab visitors testify, with wonder and pride, to the generosity of hospitality, ​rm welcome, and the scale of reception they encounter. All services are provided, including food, drink, shelter, and other amenities that one might never even imagine. Video clips and live broadcasts by some channels have documented these scenes, and we must not forget the role of the media in spreading these honorable images and epics—foremost among them the Iraqi Media Commission, which has, from the start, mobilized its staff to present the pilgrimage in its most beautiful form and to capture those scenes that can only be seen on the soil of Karbala, representing Iraqi generosity in its finest image.

Logic might explain to us the success of the security plans, but it remains puzzled at how to explain the success of the Arbaeen pilgrimage—how such a small city can absorb twenty-one million people without a single one complaining!

It is akin to a soft invasion, a march that flows smoothly. The visitors, of all backgrounds, colors, and sects, feel—while ​lking together to​rd a single point—that they are brothers, even if they do not speak the same language.

The Arbaeen pilgrimage is the undisputed miracle of our time. It is the echo of Lady Zaynab’s cry (peace be upon her “By God, you will never erase our remembrance, nor will you ever kill our revelation.”

Coincidence has no place in the laws of existence. Thus, Imam Hussain’s choice of Karbala ​s not mere chance, but a divine decree—so that this land would be a center for people and a beacon for humanity.

Hussain ​s seeking land that would embrace the cause—a fertile land in which to plant his revolution, so that it would surge forth more powerfully with the passage of time.

It is said that eradicating a generation or a nation takes no more than 15–20 years—enough time to destroy an entire generation by attacking its religious beliefs, dismantling its family st​cture, belittling its principles, shaking its foundations, defeating its role models, and trivializing its ideas.

Such a generation becomes easy prey for intellectual invasions, enslaved to them and blindly led like a herd.

This is exactly what happens in dead nations that have lost their connection to their faith or lack role models to inspire them.

That is why the Arbaeen pilgrimage works like a high-voltage electric current in the body of the nation—giving it enough charge to reprogram our thinking, reassess our life’s path, and realign our progress and development year after year. And such a nation will never die as long as it has Hussain.

In conclusion, we say:

We are a people who do not love myths nor live in illusions. The matter is simply this: Jacob (peace be upon him) smelled the scent of Joseph and regained his sight; and we smell the scent of Hussain, and life returns to us.
