Just as Islam is a religion of unity and convergence, and this convergence must be exposed to the enemies of Islam in an objective and practical way, it is based on these considerations that performing obligatory and recommended acts in a social manner in Islam has greater rewards than performing them individually. For example, the magnificent ceremony of Hajj and congregational prayer, in addition to the spiritual dimension, demonstrates the unity and solidarity of Muslims and the negation of any racial and class discrimination in Islam. This philosophy is so prominent in Hajj that God calls people to "Hajj" in the Holy Quran to witness their various benefits, and in congregational prayer, the interconnected rows are a symbol of a single Ummah.
Therefore, performing obligatory and recommended acts in a social manner has many rewards and social effects. One of these actions is the grand ceremony of the Arbaeen pilgrimage of Imam Hussein (AS), which has become one of the important and fundamental axes of Muslim unity and solidarity in recent years. This magnificent ceremony, with its spiritual grandeur, has today become one of the powerful arms of the Islamic world and has caused anger and discomfort to the enemies of Islam. As all international media outlets refuse to cover this occasion or cover it in a minimal and biased manner and do not have the capacity to accept such a grand and million-strong congress. Perhaps no ceremony has been held with such grandeur and grandeur throughout history.
This magnificent ceremony carries two important and fundamental messages:
1. Unity and solidarity of the Islamic world: a symbol of a united nation
The presence of millions of followers of the school of Imam Hussein (AS) in the city of Karbala during the Arbaeen ceremony indicates the unity and solidarity of the followers of this school. All the followers and lovers of Imam Hussein (AS) from different parts of the world, of every language, nationality and social class, gather in Karbala and demonstrate their love for their Imam and their unity and solidarity. This gathering, which is rooted in the teaching of “Indeed, the most honorable of you in the sight of Allah is your piety,” becomes more magnificent and spiritually enriched with the passage of time.
2. Demonstration of soft power in the face of the enemy’s psychological and media warfare
Today’s world is a digital world and a world of cold wars, in which most programs and plans are carried out in the form of psychological propaganda and soft operations, rather than a tangible and real presence. Nevertheless, the Arbaeen ceremony is one of the greatest and most powerful weapons of the Islamic nation against the enemy’s media propaganda and soft warfare. This presence of millions shows that the hearts and minds of the followers of the Ashura and Karbala school are unconquerable. Arbaeen is a kind of “human-centered media” that establishes a deep and genuine bond between people without the need for sophisticated technology and is outside the sphere of influence of polarizing algorithms. Just as the enemy is trying to weaken this ceremony by creating false narratives and criticizing it in various ways and spending millions of dollars to weaken and destroy it, the magnificent presence of millions of people in Arbaeen, despite the numerous physical, security and logistical problems and limitations, neutralizes and destroys all the sinister plans and plans of the enemies of Islam.
A common responsibility in preserving this great heritage
A point that should be noted is that scholars, media, writers, and Islamic governments have an obligatory duty to make a round-the-clock and tireless effort to inform people about the evil propaganda of the enemies and to explain the numerous social and individual effects and blessings of the Arbaeen ceremony, so that this power and strategic weapon of the Islamic world can be preserved and made stronger.
