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.
