  What is Arbaeen?  

 

Imam  Husayn (A.S.): The Doyen of the Martyrs, The Grandson of the Holy  Prophet of Islam (S.A.W.), The Chief of the Youth of Paradise who saved  Islam from complete destruction by his great sacrifice at the  battlefield of Karbala.    
 

Honoring the memories of Imam Husayn (A.S.) and 72 great  martyrs of Karbala who saved Islam by sacrificing their lives at the  battlefield of Karbala(Iraq) on Ashura, 10th Muharram 61 Hijrah is in  accordance with the command of the Holy Prophet of Islam (S.A.W.).    On  20th Safar, 61 A.H. the aggrieved Ahlul Bayt (A.S.) arrived in Karbala  after their release from the Yazid’s prison in Damascus exactly on  Arbaeen day.[forty days after the martyrdom of Imam Husayn(A.S.)].They  wept bitterly, mourned and raised heart rending cries at the holy graves  of Imam Husayn(A.S.) and other martyrs of Karbala. The women from the  surrounding villages also joined them in mourning. Ahlul Bayt (A.S.)  engaged themselves in heart rending and sorrowful mourning until three  days were passed in this manner. After three days of mourning as per the  instructions of Imam Sajjad (A.S.) they departed from Karbala to  Medina.    

Thus,  all the truth and freedom loving Muslims and people in the world and  Shi’ites in particular commemorate the Arbaeen Hussaini (A.S.) by  conducting mourning ceremonies and processions throughout the world.
