Arba’in is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, attracting millions of participants from around the globe each year.
This grand movement is not just a religious event but also a manifestation of valuable human concepts such as sacrifice, forgiveness, pursuit of truth, demand for justice, and resistance against oppression and tyranny.
Arba’in symbolises resistance against injustice, aggression, and occupation, carried out by people who thirst for truth and are in pursuit of justice and the defence of the oppressed against the oppressors.
This monumental movement functions as an independent media outlet that is influenced by no current or group other than the truth itself. Arba’in is a platform whose message is global, transcending borders and limitations. It belongs to people who seek truth and reject all forms of oppression and injustice.
In this grand pilgrimage, not only Shia Muslims but also freedom seekers from different ethnicities and religions worldwide participate, turning this event into a global congress.
During the Arba’in congress, the brutal crimes of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people, especially the recent atrocities in Gaza, are condemned. The atmosphere of hatred and public opposition to the genocide committed by the Zionist regime is further highlighted in light of the noble concepts of Arba’in. Arba’in, as a symbol of the struggle against oppression and the defence of the oppressed, draws global attention to the crimes of the Zionist regime and denounces them.
One of the prominent features of Arba’in is the presence of religious and ethnic minorities, making this event one of the most diverse religious and ethical gatherings in the world. The participation of followers of different religions in this movement demonstrates that Arba’in is not just a religious event specific to Shia Muslims or a few countries in the region, but it belongs to all those who seek truth, justice, and humanity.
Today, Arba’in has become a global congress whose message is universal; a message of standing against oppression, supporting the oppressed, and striving to achieve justice throughout the world.
