Appreciating the activities of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly during the Arbaeen Pilgrimage, the head of the Arbaeen Cultural and Educational Committee stated, “We consider the first attendance of the AhlulBayt (a.s.)

ABWA Official Website – On Monday, September 30, 2024, a ceremony to honor the organizers and servants of the Arbaeen Pilgrimage of Imam Hussain (a.s.) was held by the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Tehran.
In this ceremony, Hojat al-Islam Hamid Ahmadi, the head of the Cultural and Educational Committee of Arbaeen, stated, “Arbaeen, with all its greatness, glory, and wide dimensions, is a valuable asset for Islamic Iran, the Islamic world, especially Shiites.”
“In Iran, the experience of joint work between the government and popular groups happened during Arbaeen. So much so that with all the governments that came to power in the country, this sincere cooperation between the government and the people’s groups happened, and the huge Arbaeen ceremony has been held,” he added.
“During the Arbaeen pilgrimage, more than 8 million pilgrims go from one country to another within two to three weeks, which is unique in the world. In the Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (a.s.), a religious and spiritual order is formed, which is important, and it is appropriate for journalists and writers to work on this topic,” continued the head of the Cultural and Educational Committee of the Arbaeen.
“We must try to make Arbaeen an accelerating factor and booster for the Islamic civilization, and this requires the production of literature, and practice,” Ahmadi said.
“This year, about 22 million pilgrims from 100 countries attended the Arbaeen Pilgrimage of Imam Hussain (a.s.), which is a rare event, and we need to appreciate the Iraqi government for providing the facilities,” he added.
Appreciating the activities of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly during the Arbaeen Pilgrimage, the head of the Arbaeen Cultural and Educational Committee stated, “We consider the first attendance of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Karbala, that is the international base and a refuge for Shiites, as auspicious.”
“We would like to express our gratitude to the Ashura International Foundation and especially to the ABNA News Agency, which were active media outlets about the Arbaeen throughout the year,” Hojat al-Islam Ahmadi said.
“There is a serious need to produce scientific research journals in English, French, Urdu, and Arabic, as well as producing suitable and remarkable content. We hope this issue will be taken into consideration,” he said in the end.
