Arbaeen An Opportunity to Showcase New Islamic Civilization: Official
“Arbaeen is an exceptional opportunity to showcase the new Islamic civilization and the discourse of justice of Ahl-ulBayt (AS),” Reza Moamemi Moghaddam, the cultural director general of the Awqaf and Charity Affairs Organization said in an interview with IQNA ahead of this year’s Arbaeen pilgrimage.
Referring to the statements of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei regarding the Arbaeen procession, he said the Leader has introduced Arbaeen as the greatest medium of Islam; a medium in which geographical, ethnic, and linguistic boundaries collapse and hearts unite around the axis of love for Imam Hussein (AS).
Moamemi Moghaddam emphasized that when millions of people walk together with love, sincerity, and sacrifice on Arbaeen, this is precisely the manifestation of the introduction of the Mahdavi community.
“Arbaeen is the global exercise of the Islamic Ummah to prepare for the advent of the Savior (may God hasten his glad advent),” he stated.
Today, the world needs to hear the message of Hussein (AS), and it is important to convey this message to the world, he went on to say.
