We do not know of any similar gathering in history, which is organized more warmly every year. It is unprecedented. This movement for Hussain (pbuh) is influential in raising awareness about Imam Hussain (pbuh). With the walk that primarily takes place between Najaf and Karbala every year, Arbaeen has become global. Eyes from all over the world are watching this movement. Imam Hussain (pbuh) and knowledge of Hussain (pbuh) have become global thanks to this enormous, international movement by the people.
