duties and customs of the pilgrims

Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei:

The spirituality of the Hajj should be applied; the status of fondness with the Almighty God, being mindful of God Almighty, the feeling of being present at divine services are more than ever available in the rites of Hajj.

The spirituality of the Hajj should be applied

Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah hamenei:

In the two Holy Shrines, in Mina, in Arafat, in Muzdalifah, in the very same word of "Labbayk", in doing the ihram, man feels that he speaks to the divine invitation, and gets the answers. This is truly a great opportunity.

This is truly a great opportunity

Leader of the Islamic Revolution. Ayatollah Khamenei: Trust, faith, having good prejudice on divine promise; these are provided in Hajj. Man will "may witness the benefits provided for them" there, and these benefits are not just worldly one but also related to spritual and afterlife benefits. This is the Hajj.

Trust, faith, having good prejudice on divine promise

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamehei

Hajj, among all the Islamic laws, is a law that has all aspects of divinity, spirituality, individuality and society, which is unique and distinctive from the rest of the compulsory laws.

Hajj, among all the Islamic laws

Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei:

Some innocent people would ask, "Sir! What is the proof on the bara'at (dissociation)? "They expect it to be written in the islamic treatise.

"Bara'at!" All Hajj is a shout of bara'at.

Bara'at!" All Hajj is a shout of bara'at

Imam Hussain(a.s) said:

Whoever seeks the satisfaction of people through disobedience of Allah; Then Allah subjects him to people.

(Bihar-al- Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 126)

Satisfying People, while Disobeying Allah

Imam Hussain(a.s) said:

Know that Surely the world's sweetness and bitterness are all (nothing but) dreams. Awareness is solely in the hereafter. The winner is the one who wins the other world and the wretched is the one who becomes wretched in it (the hereafter)

Biharol Anwar, Vol. 45 , P. 91

Resurrection and the Hereafter

In hardships and calamities, it is natural to get swept away by the affliction of the moment. During such trials of faith, unless we are careful, Satan can inject fear and plant doubts in our hearts and minds.
Our beliefs in such vulnerable states may become overpowered by feelings of the moment resulting in the dwindling of our faith. Some of us start questioning the fairness and wisdom underlying such divine decisions while others get mired in a blame game. All in all, we may find ourselves lost, helpless, and stalled finding it difficult to gather ourselves and move forward.

Imam Hussain(a.s) said:

People are slaves to the world, and as long as they live favorable and comfortable lives, they are loyal to religious principles. However, at hard times, the times of trials, true religious people are scarce.

Keeping belief during tough times

What was the course of Imam Hussain’s (A.S) revolution? What reasons prompted him to initiate such a great and unmatched uprising? Did he intend to overthrow the Yazid regime? Did he wish to end the Umayyid dynasty? These and alike questions keep cropping in the mind and everyone wants to know the satisfactory replies.

Imam Hussain(a.s) said:

Swear by God, I did not rise against the tyrannical rule of Bani Umayyah out of selfishness or with the aim of oppression or corruption. My revolt only aimed at reviving the religion of my grandfather , the holy Muhammad (p.b.u.h) and the traditions of my father Ali ibn-Abi Talib (a.s) , to enjoy good and forbid evil.

Biharol Anwar Vol. 44 ", P 329

The Aims of Imam Hussain (A.S)’s Revolution

Imamate (Arabic: الإمامة), from Shi'a point of view, is the leadership of the Islamic society, designated by God to succeed the Prophet (s) in all religious and worldly affairs. It is among the principles of Shi'a

The reason behind Imam's existence is to safeguard and transfer religion and correctly explain religious teachings; therefore, to perform his duties properly, it is necessary for an Imam to have the power to abandon sins, God-given knowledge and Wilaya (guardianship) from God.

Imam Hussain(a.s) said:

Swearing by my own soul: Imam can be nobody except the one who rules according to Quran , rises for justice, affiliates to the true religion and contains himself to all that for the sake of God.

Biharol Anwar, Vol. 44 , P. 334

Imamate

You’ll make a lot of different friends during your life, but true friends are hard to come by and far more rewarding. Luckily, true friends are pretty easy to spot, and knowing the signs of a true friend will help you figure out who to get closer with and who to stay away from.

Imam Hussain(a.s) said:

One who reveals your faults to you like a mirror is your true friend, and one who flatters you and covers up your faults is your enemy.

(Bihar-al- Anwar, Vol. 78, P. 128)

A True Friend

Imam Hussain(a.s) said:
To me, death for the sake of what is right, is nothing but happiness, and living under tyrants nothing but living in a hell

(Tuhaf-al- Uqoul, P. 245)

Martyrdom for What is Right

The presence of foreign powers in West Asia is said to be to provide security, and to assist in defeating terrorist cells, however the region has observed a deterioration in the security situation in several countries despite their presence, and also increasing polarizations as well as sectarianism.

The security for Arbaeen is provided by Iraqis[ZK6], the organisation of the event is done partly in cooperation with Iran, so as to facilitate the processing of large numbers of pilgrims across the borders, and the volunteering is mainly Iraqi. The foreign powers do not assist, and one wonders what they must make of it, apart from the over-emphasis in their media that it is a Shia pilgrimage. It is certainly impossible to marginalise this “migration” on such a large scale, that despite covid and albeit much smaller numbers has continued. Likewise, it is impossible to marginalise Islam and its message for humanity, and Arbaeen is one place where we can all find the realisation of this message.

Experience of Presence of a Lady From America in the Arbaeen March

Reporting on Arbaeen in the news channels of the Islamic ummah far [ZK3]and wide focuses on the central elements of the pilgrimage: the hospitality of the Iraqi people, which has won UNESCO world heritage status; the gathering of many different nations and religions; the recognition of Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, as the saviour of Islam in the face of a tyrant. Pilgrimage groups from all over the world are organised and invited to attend Arbaeen; Shia Muslims and Sunni Muslims take part, also non-Muslims are invited, for example Christians and Zoroastrians and even non-religious people flock there.

In the light of fearmongering and warmongering to which parts of the Western world has succumbed, Arbaeen is akin to a harbinger[ZK4] of hope for our malaised societies. The kindness, selflessness and generosity particularly of the impoverished sections of Iraqi society, who nonetheless do all they can to cater for the pilgrims, reminds of a hadith by Imam Baqir (as): in it, he describes the time when (Imam) Mahdi (aj) comes, that sincere and strong brotherhood will also arrive, and that a brother who needs money will put his hand into the pocket of his brother and his brother will not stop him. (Bihar ul-Anwar, vol. 52, p. 372).

Arbaeen shows us in the here and now the kind of society we can create: one in which we walk in friendship, love and brotherhood and sisterhood alongside each other, irrespective of our nationality, financial status and ethnic or religious background. At Arbaeen the physically able assist those who are weak, at times even physically carrying them to the destination. People welcome strangers into their houses and give them shelter and food. Despite the threat of terrorist attacks by Daesh cells, the pilgrim feels immense peace[ZK5], trust and safety.

We should view Arbaeen as a model for our societies; the historical events of the battle of Karbala and the fortieth day visit to Imam Hussain needs to have a bearing on our current lives, and should not be viewed as an event in the distant past. The kindness, mercy and fearlessness in the face of oppressors, qualities that pour from the heart of Islam, are practices that can be implemented in our modern lives, as witnessed in Arbaeen.

The Arbaeen Walk

Historically speaking, Arbaeen commemorates the end of the 40-day mourning period for Imam Hussain, his family and companions, after the battle of Karbala in 61 AH (680 CE). On the day of Arbaeen, pilgrims from all over the world congregate in the city of Karbala in Iraq, and especially in the Bayn al-Haramayn, the courtyard between the famous Holy Shrines of Imam Hussain and his half-brother Abulfazl Al-Abbas.

The first pilgrimage to the grave of Imam Hussain took place 40 days after the battle of Karbala in 61 AH. The family members, mainly women and children, who had survived both the fateful day of the battle, and the long march to Damascus as prisoners shackled by Yazid’s men[ZK2], visited him after their release. The pilgrimage to his grave continued for several more years, but then ceased. Around one hundred years ago, Iraqi pilgrims again started the annual walk, but this was fraught with great danger under the regime of Saddam Hussain, and had to be done in the dark of night in great secrecy. After the fall of the Ba’ath regime in Iraq, the annual pilgrimage became a more viable event, and continued even through the years of the Daesh in Iraq. In recent years, prior to the pandemic, more than 20 million people would typically attend.
