Arbaeen, the powerful voice of Ashura

The significance of the first Arbaeen lay in that it was the powerful voice of Ashura. From Ashura to Arbaeen when the Household of the Prophet (pbuh)  returned to Karbala – these forty days were forty days of the command of the logic of truth amidst the dark world of the evil rulers and the Umayyad dynasty. The true voice was the outcry of Zaynab al-Kubra and the outcry of Imam Sajjad. Where? In Kufa and in the Levant where complete darkness existed. These were the strongest voices. These were the voices that preserved Ashura.
