The Arbaeen International Award was established in 2014 to showcase the manifestations of the Arbaeen pilgrimage — one of the world’s largest annual gatherings.
Arbaeen is observed by Shia Muslims on the 40th day after Ashura, honoring the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS), the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Millions of pilgrims, primarily from Iraq and Iran, travel on foot to Karbala, Iraq, to pay homage, joined by participants from around the world.
