A Mexican Muslim lady said that Arbaeen is the embodiment of the most beautiful images of humanity.

Over the past half century, many Iraqis sacrificed and martyred in the fight against the Saddam regime, then in the war against the American invaders, and recently in the battle against the ISIS terrorist group. The Najaf branch of the Iraq Martyrs Foundation (affiliated to the Prime Minister's Office) using the opportunity of the Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (a.s.), set up a photo exhibition of the martyrs of the Najaf Seminary and the Holy Shrine of Imam Ali (a.s.) on the main Najaf-Karbala Road (known as Tariq Ya Hussain).

During Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (a.s.), a walk was held in Cologne, Germany, with the presence of the Imam’s enthusiasts.

During the ceremony of Imam Hussain (a.s.) Arbaeen, the office of the holy shrine of the two Askari Imams (a.s.) set up an exhibition on the pilgrims’ route on the main Najaf-Karbala Road (known as Tariq Ya Hussain). In this exhibition, pictures of the Samarra shrine, the pieces left from the shrine after the terrorist explosion in 2006, as well as some publications of this shrine are displayed.

The 6^th International Arbaeen Pilgrimage Scientific Seminar was started by the Karbala Center for Studies and Research in cooperation with Iraqi institutions and universities.

The director of the Center for Studies and Research of Karbala stated, “The 6^th international Seminar of Arbaeen will be held with the presence of the presidents of Iraqi universities.”

The Holy Cellar or Cellar of the Occultation is the basement of the house of Imam Hassan Askari (a.s.), which is located in the northwest of the Holy Shrine of the two Askari Imams (a.s.) in Samarra. The sanctity of this place among Shiites is because it was the house of Imam Hadi (a.s.), Imam Hassan Askari (a.s.) and Imam Mahi (a.s.).

After the pilgrimage ceremony of Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (a.s.), the holy shrine of two Askari Imams (a.s.) in Samarra hosted the Arbaeen pilgrims.
