Arbaeen An Opportunity for Spreading Monotheism in World: Seminary Scholar

IQNA – An Iranian Islamic seminary scholar described the Arbaeen pilgrimage as an opportunity for the spread of Tawheed (monotheism) in the world.

Speaking to IQNA, Zahra Delavari Parizi said Arbaeen is a gathering of millions of pilgrims from around the world, including those from other Islamic schools of thought and other religions. 

She said Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) are the symbols of wisdom, faith and Tawheed and by introducing them in Arbaeen, true Islam and Tawheed is introduced to the world and spreads globally.

She said that Imam Hussein’s (AS) guidance is not just for Shia Muslims and the people of the Middle East but it for the whole world.  

She added that Arbaeen is also a venue for friendly dialogue and for better introducing the factors of unity.

Through dialogue, we can also raise awareness about the common enemy of humanity, including the US and the Israeli regime, Delavari Parizi stated.

“Today, we should also convey the voice of the oppressed people of Palestine and Gaza (during Arbaeen),” she said, stressing that the issue of Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque is a pivot of unity in the Muslim world.

Arbaeen is a religious event observed by Shia Muslims on the fortieth day after the Day of Ashura, commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the third Shia imam. It is one of the largest annual pilgrimages in the world, with millions of Shia Muslims walking to Karbala from various cities in Iraq and neighboring countries.

This year, the day of Arbaeen falls on August 25.
