AL ARBA'IN

Ziyarat Al- Arba’een has become a global and million-person
visit, representing a significant and conscious social event. It
manifests people's love and loyalty to Imam Hussein (peace be
upon him), their profound connection to him, and their aweinspiring
attraction to his holy shrine. Despite facing challenging
circumstances and risks on the journey, especially from oppressive
governments that historically banned the visitation, subjecting it
to severe punishments like imprisonment, torture, amputation,
execution, and terrorism targeting Iraq in general and the specific
commemorations of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), particularly the Arbaeen pilgrimage, the followers of the Ahl al-
Bayt in Iraq and around the world have proved their unwavering
loyalty and affection for the Prophet's family.
Through the ages, they persisted in commemorating the
eternal Arbaeen pilgrimage, affirming their commitment to this
sincere path of loyalty, which includes reviving the visitation of
Imam Sajjad, Lady Zainab (peace be upon them), and Jabir ibn
Abdullah al-Ansari to Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) on the
fortieth day of his martyrdom. The Arbaeen pilgrimage continued
uninterrupted across time and will persist by the will of Allah,
declaring their loyalty, devotion, and doctrinal love for Imam
Hussein (peace be upon him), and steadfastness on his revered
path in all circumstances.
The Ziyarat Al- Arba’een has evolved into a religious, doctrinal,
and loyal symbol and a significant social event celebrated every
year on the 20th of Safar. It serves as an important semiotic marker
that distinguishes the followers of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon
them), encompassing various dimensions, including the religious,
doctrinal, social, psychological, and ethical aspects.
In this research, I will study and analyze these dimensions
comprehensively. Having personally experienced the atmosphere
of this grand, unique, and awe-inspiring pilgrimage since the 1990s
until today, and having walked on foot for consecutive years post-
2003, I have documented my observations and reflections on this
remarkable visitation, highlighting its numerous distinguishing
features from other pilgrimages.Note: The translation above is based on the context and themes
presented in the original text. The content is related to the religious
and cultural aspects of the Arbaeen pilgrimage, and it is essential
to approach it with respect and sensitivity to religious beliefs and
practices

The study deals with the Ziyarte AL-Arba’een from the jurisprudential
and modernist point of view of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him),
which takes place on the twentieth of the month of Safar of each Hijri
year. Where the visit of the fortieth anniversary of Imam Hussein (peace
be upon him) is a unique human phenomenon that human history has
not witnessed, not in previous religions and previous nations, nor in the present sects and subsequent nations. It is a social phenomenon that has
astonished scholars, sultans and rulers throughout the centuries, and
they monitored their sensors to find out its truth, and realize its depths,
and they were sure that it was a unique event outside the scope of the
standards of social phenomena recognized

Plentiful texts have been recurred in describing the great recompense
that results from visiting the graves of the imams, peace be upon them,
and standing at their holy thresholds, where Imam Hussein, peace be
upon him, occupies a special position in this field. As was reported
on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and
grant him peace, and on the authority of Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon
him, visiting his honorable grave contains spiritual gains as well as
intellectual and moral interests that are not comparable to visiting any
other mausoleum. Wherefore, we find the Imami Shiites, the followers
of Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, flock towards Holy Karbala from all
over the world to visit the shrine of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him,
on public days of the year, and on honourable days and special times
that have an advantage with God Almighty. This is because standing on that majestic edifice has a divine and royal attraction and sad reflections
that accommodates the endocardium. To add, his sacred soil, which was
watered with his pure blood, still smells of dignity mixed with the spirit
of Prophet hood and Imamate.
This phenomenon is not new, but it started from the date of the
martyrdom of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, until now. The Shiites
have preserved this magnificent matter, where they exerted all their
efforts and capabilities for this purpose, made enormous sacrifices, and
faced various hostile challenges with steadfastness and resistance.
Because the Ziyarte AL-Arba’een is of special importance to the
Shiites for its divine and merciful treasures, our deficient mind is unable
to comprehend it, nor to comprehend the royal contents of the Lord
of the worlds that He singled out for this eternal visit and throughout
history. Therefore, this research came to try to look at its importance, its
semantic dimensions, and the extent of its reflection on the soul and the
human psyche, and what this sacred rite inspires him from the spiritual
attraction to the Master of Martyrs in particular, and to the martyrs of
At-Taff in general, and what it provokes from the psychological and
social interactions of visitors and the resulting behaviors and symbols
in which the values of truth, goodness, generosity and virtue overlap

The research discussed the global impact of the Ziyarte ALArba’een
on the hearts of foreign visitors, and included a summary
of the opinions of some Western leaders in the Husseini revolution
and three axes. Peace), and with his blessing their needs were
fulfilled, and as a result they entered the Islamic religion, and their
motto became Al-Hussain, the ship of salvation. Al-Hussein (peace
be upon him) was hoping to meet his needs, and some of them were
affected by the visit of the forty, and he announced his conversion
to Islam, and these cases and others are explained in this axis.
The third axis focused on examples of media documentation of
the Ziyarte AL-Arba’een by foreign visitors, especially the British
journalist Emily Carth Witt, who emphasized the lack of appropriate
attention and neglect of Western media for the forty visit, and the
journalist confirmed that she had been filming a documentary film
with Iraqi and Iranian photographers for three weeks with Iraqi and Iranian photographers. The city of Babylon until the city of
Karbala, and the visitors called that road the path of love Husseini,
and the visitors were from the United Kingdom, the United States
of America and some Asian countries, and the Irish journalist Janet
Newenham scenes of the forty visit and showed the extent of mercy
and cooperation between visitors and services on the road, and some
satellite channels followed Visit the forty, and the research relied
mainly on documented visual sources on YouTube sites, as well as
some sources and references.

Volunteer work is one of the social activities that have emerged
since the existence of man on nature through the historical ages,
according to different methods, and no civilization with a human
dimension is without a role for its investment.
Accordingly, volunteer work has become vital areas for cultural,
social and economic activities of great importance, arising through any organization that takes a form to enhance the trends
of partnership and social solidarity from the human aspects that
reflect the spirit of citizenship and love for the other to achieve a
lofty value.
By examining the history books, we find that voluntary work
is linked to the heavenly laws, embodying the principle of finite
freedom in employing individual and collective behavior to be a
fulcrum for the action rooted in thought to define human identity
throughout the historical eras.
One of the most important religious beliefs that a person seeks
is more than a historical narrative that is transmitted orally to
be transformed into a continuous humane ideological proof for
identification and consolidation in the collective conscience.
Our study came to shed light on a religious phenomenon in
which millions of visitors from inside and outside Iraq participate
every year. It is a global phenomenon that takes on a larger size
every year. It represents the true connection to Karbala the fathers
and the cause they call for and their symbol of courage, patience,
and revolution against injustice and tyranny. Faith.
Accordingly, the study included three sections preceded by an
introduction and followed by a conclusion. The first topic came to
represent: the theoretical side (the definition of the study), while
the second topic was devoted to: historical views of the sources of
volunteer work and previous studies, and we singled out the third
topic: the methodological procedures for research.

The Ziyarte AL-Arba’een forms the foundational cultural and
ideological basis for the youth's ideas. It also works to mobilize
the energies of young people to confront any extremist ideology
that seeks to harm humanity. It fosters self-immunity within them
against external ideologies that aim to divide the people, such as
terrorist ideologies, making the youth more aware of defending
their beliefs and homeland, and they seek martyrdom and take
pride in it.
Moreover, the Ziyarte AL-Arba’een provides a suitable ground
for social upbringing to achieve the goals and purposes of the
Hussaini Renaissance, which includes cultural, moral, and
behavioral influences that stir noble human emotions.
Perhaps the Ziyarte AL-Arba’een grants self-immunity to our
teenagers, protecting them from the ethical decay that affects
societies. It equips them with the tools to resist negative influences
and allows them to navigate through their adolescent phase with
resilience.
Furthermore, the Ziyarte AL-Arba’een represents the world's
largest cultural youth gathering, founded on positive ethical
values. It promotes acceptance of others and peaceful coexistence transcending differences in civilizations, cultures, and languages,
thus unifying cultures under the banner of the Hussaini identity.

Reaching the beloved is the eye of meeting God Almighty، and his
vision is realized in the hearts with the reality of faith، not with the
outward sights of seeing، meeting، visiting and connecting، and free
from all kinds of godly polytheism، worldly attachment، self-love and
whims، and all of this is denied from Hussein (peace be upon him) and
his companions who love martyrdom، so Imam Hussein rose from the
sanctuary of his grandfather. He was not limited to his farewell to his
immaculate grave; As the traveler is bidding farewell from his beloved
homeland and everything related to it، whenever his friends، loved ones
and others look at him، even water and dust، he is bidding farewell to them، farewell to those who do not hope to return، because he knows
that martyrdom is his conclusion.
The Karbala’i epic gave a vivid and clear example of loyalty،
loyalty، and redemption to God، Lord of the Worlds. His connection
to God was the same as meeting God Almighty with Him، the Exalted،
and the annihilation of Imam Hussein and his companions on the tenth
of Muharram. With intellects، understandings and sciences، it is the
presence with Him، the Most High، the abstention from creation، and
the directness with Him to Him، the Most High.
Showing the reality of the deity for which the servants sacrificed for
their idol، and lovers for their one lover and for the manifestations of
beauty and the beloved is an innate matter upon which the believing
nations have covenanted. So، too، is the revival of the visit of the forty
days and its spiritual values of faith، and the annihilation of the lover
in the love of his beloved. For those who sacrificed for their sake in
defense of religion and the values of heaven، the Arbaeen visitation -
which the Ahl al-Bayt is keen to infiltrate the hearts of Muslims - was
to highlight the features of the Liberal Hussainiya school، which sensed
injustice and rejected it with the valor، violence، courage، morals، and
stances of the Hussainiya school immortalized in history.
The research came to show one of the spiritual values، which is the
annihilation and repentance to God according to Imam Hussein، which
was embodied in the forty visitation، as well as others. For his sake، the
worshiper Imam Al-Hussain D and his chosen and good companions،
with a number of results inspired by the research، and from God the
success.

The impact of Alarba’een pilgrimage on modifying human
behavior Human values and ideals were embodied in Alarba’een
pilgrimage، it is a moral school in which imam Hussein’s loyalists
(peace be upon him) applied practical educational methods in
dealing with those around them، his influence on others and even
other sects and boredom was the most influential until they became
the most beloved and supporters of him until they came to him as
the highest of the best، when they knew the truth of Imam Hussein
(peace be upon him) and the extent of the sacrifices he made in
order to show the word of truth، and it came in the words of Imam
Hussein (peace be upon him): ((O God، you know that what was
among us was not a competition for authority or a petition from the
curiosity of debris But let us see the landmarks of your religion،
and manifest reform in your lands، and the oppressed of your
servants are safe، and act upon your obligations، your Sunnah،
and your rulings، for if you do not support us and do justice to us، the forces of oppression against you، and they work to extinguish
the light of your Prophet، and God is sufficient for us to rely on
him and to him we repent and to him is the destiny  and this is
what you confirmed for us. Alarba’een pilgrimage is out of the
love of those loyal to the Imam(peace be upon him)
Loyalty to the personalities who have given their societies
the dearest possessions they possess is in fact a victory for good،
resistance to evil، and a revival of souls and prompting them to
follow the good models from which life derives its presence and
effectiveness، through which its fields flourish and its inhabitants
are cherished.
And what the masses recorded regarding the practice of the
concept of loyalty represented in commemorating the master of the
martyrs (peace be upon him) and his family (peace be upon them)
and his righteous companions is a brilliant moral and repentant
achievement that all humanity should be proud of and learn from in
their life، In addition to benefiting everyone and spreading it in her
public and private life، this was done through Alarba’een pilgrimage
as it played a big role in modifying many things that are not good
in individuals and in many aspects such as: behavioral، educational،
moral and social Etc... And this is what the research is about، by
Allah’s well.

Our Islamic history is replete with personalities and leaders who have played
an active role in changing the course of the situation of the Islamic nation.
Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), nicknamed Bab al-Ahrar, is considered
one of the most important and prominent of these Islamic figures, because of
his revolution against injustice and corruption, and it still finds its echo until
today in our society. Even if he was martyred, he is still alive in our minds and
hearts, and what is the forty Husseini visit, which is renewed every year and
for thousands of years, but a living evidence and witness to the immortality and survival of this Husseini renaissance until the Hour of Resurrection. The
incident of kindness in Karbala, its lofty principles and its message that bears
the high moral values that illuminate the way for all who follow the path of
Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), and meditate on his remembrance, and
who try to stop their feet crawling to his honorable shrine has become a failure
and betrayal because the true believers in their love for Hussein (peace be
upon him) The arbitrariness and injustice of these governments did not deter
them from visiting the forty days of the imam and accompanying it, as it is
evidence of their adherence to the principles and values of the imam (peace
be upon him), even if he died. It is among the other visits, as it confirms the
renewal of their covenant and their pledge of allegiance to the principles of
the Imam, following the path of his grandfather and his father, and imitating
his path, even if they were martyred, and this is what we notice today. (peace
be upon him) is the author of a valuable humanitarian message aimed at the
Islamic religion for which he fought and was martyred and to be a beacon to
everyone who wants to revolution against injustice and corruption. To every
tyrant, oppressor and corrupt, as if they are saying in it that you have failed
to fight us and eliminate us, and that the renaissance of Imam Hussein will
remain until death through this forty-day visit to revive his revolution and
remember his tragedies to be an example and a carrier of moral values for
everyone who wants to live in freedom, dignity, principles and follow the
orders of God Almighty.

Most of the sociologists agreed on the parts of the body and its
meeting and social activities with its contents of rituals and activities at
the individual level. The lion of religion supports comprehensive social
development، directing behavior and organizing society. Sociologists
were interested in religious rituals and knowledge of their dimensions
and effects on the individual and society. Imam Al-Hussein، peace be
upon him، has high social values and a charismatic personality that has
been able to influence In the depths of history and immortalized through generations، the rituals of the fortieth visitation are a living practical
embodiment of adhering to this value expressed by individuals in their
annual march، which includes all segments of the social system in Iraq
in addition to other countries، some of whose members participate in
the ceremonies of the visit، as the fortieth visit is linked to beliefs and
assets that link the past and the present He moved towards the future
in a popular carnival extending in all directions towards a blessed and
sacred spot، religiously and socially، which is the city of Karbala and
the honorable shrine of the sacrificed man immortalized in the minds
of generations as he calls for reform. Which leaves psychological and
social effects with the role of the visit on the individual and society
and removes social، psychological، cultural، class، ethnic، national and
country barriers، and promotes with it the creation of a social fabric
united by the principles of truth and the constants of righteousness and
develops the spirit of social solidarity and the industry of a committed
personality that rejects forms of deviation، injustice and corruption.
Various eastern and western civilizations to ensure that each visitor or
the owner of a procession comes out with a sum of knowledge and
principles of various sources، in which you find eastern and western،
young and old، men and women and from various religions، sects
and intellectual trends in a state of twins and coexistence that ensures
the achievement of this fruit if it is nurtured in the required manner.
In addition، it represents a point of convergence between the Shiites
themselves and from various parts of the world and their humanitarian
principles، which have been summarized by a point called Karbala.

Today, human societies suffer from the fears of political,
economic, and social disruptions due to ongoing conflicts and the
lack of protective laws. This has led to a loss of security at all
levels, particularly social security. Therefore, there is a need to
formulate a new approach in social life that ensures security for
every individual within their community, and there is no better
means than Islamic legislation to achieve this social security
system, where every individual feels secure about themselves,
their belongings, and their future.
Upon contemplation of the revolution of Imam Hussein (peace
be upon him), it becomes evident that it revives this security
system. Reviving the ritual of the Ziyarte AL-Arba’een is a practical
implementation of the famous saying, "Islam was founded by
Prophet Muhammad, but it survived through the sacrifices of
Imam Hussein." This, in turn, has a clear impact on achieving
social security.
This paper aims to highlight the role of theZiyarte AL-Arba’een in achieving social security, through the diverse and comprehensive
effects it offers on individuals and societies, regardless of their
beliefs, affiliations, or languages.
The study emphasizes the interconnection between the
terms "security" and "social," as security in Islamic legislation
is essentially social, combining individual and collective
responsibilities. Since the Imams are the source of the legislative
system and the path to social unity, their leadership is instrumental
in achieving their objectives.
The Ziyarte AL-Arba’een provides an ideal environment to achieve
social security because it encompasses the fundamental pillars of
security, such as faith in Allah through obedience by the servants,
volunteers, and visitors. It emphasizes the individual social
responsibility to achieve the pilgrimage's goal within a religious
and legal framework arising from their own selves, along with the
full cooperation of security, social, and religious institutions to
preserve security.
The study also seeks to enlighten members of society about
their religious, social, and ethical obligations towards others to
achieve social security.
Social security is realized through several means, including
financial preparedness and moral aspects such as peaceful
coexistence, tolerance, and rejection of violence. The research
indicates that moral means are more impactful than material ones,
highlighting the spiritual nature of the Ziyarte AL-Arba’een.
