           ARTICL INFO           ABSTRACT
           Article History:      SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: Despite the many uprisings in human history, the

           Received: 20 April 2022   revolution  of  Imam  Hussein  and  his  companions  is  a  key  example  of  the
           Revised: 12 July 2022   Islamic revivalism that has retained its distinct characteristics and reformist
           Accepted: 01 August 2022   features  throughout  the  ages.  The  philosophy  of  millions  marching  to
                                 Karbala  every  year  is  in  commemoration  of  Ashura  Day.  In  addition  to
           Key Words:            reflecting humanity's thirst for freedom and the populations outrage against
           Arbaeen Pilgrimage    social  injustice,  oppression  and  tyranny,  it  also  represents  the  spiritual  and
                                 practical aspects of love and loyalty to the Master of Martyrs who through his
           Spiritual Significance   pure blood and the sacrifices of his beloved ones, revived the true spirit of Islam.
                                 METHOD  AND  FINDING:  This  idea  of  pilgrims  visiting  Imam  Hussein's
           Philosophy  of  Society   sanctified physical shrine has been extensively covered in anthropological and
           Evolution             social studies. It has also prompted international observers to closely monitor
                                 this series of events which are not present at such a massive scale in other parts
                                 of  the  world.  Despite  the  fact  that  this  visit  is  regarded  as  the  largest  mass
           International Media   gathering on a global magnitude, we find that some are attempting in various
                                 ways to oppose these great religious rituals and wipe away the message of this
           DOI:                  visit  in  all  its  dimensions.  For  example,  some  secularism  has  criticised  the
           10.22034/imjpl.2022.14581.1067   march to Imam Hussein as they believe it disrupts society and imprisons many
                                 people's lives. They also have the notion that civilization and growth are built
           DOR:                  on  a  foundation  of  materialistic  means,  with  morality  and  spirituality  views
           20.1001.1.26767619.2022.9.31.2.7   having no place in this society. Also tend to notice that the International media
                                 purposefully  seeks  to  ignore  these  annual  visits  and  this  global  event,  with
                                 them  seeking  to  cover  and  spotlight  every  news  story  in  various  fields  and
                                 different regions of the world, no matter how minor it may seem.
                                 CONCLUSION:  It  is  necessary  for  all  of  us,  in  our  respective  capacities,  to
                                 spread the message: ‘Who is Hussain?’, to globalise this religious and social
                                 event  as  one  of  the  most  important  occurrences  in  the  world  while  also
                                 working  on  the  cultural  building  and  reconstruction  of  modern  Islamic
                                 civilization as well as to research the various aspects of this great human and
                                 peaceful review centred on the Arbaeen Pilgrimage.
