The largest gathering in the world
The biggest annual gathering
Longest continuous dining table
Largest number of people fed for free
Largest group of volunteers serving a single event
These are some records that must be registered in the Guinness Book for
Arbaeen (
+). All of these are under the imminent threat of suicide bombing and ISIS in Iraq.
About 20 million Muslims from about 10 days before, started a march towards the holy city of
#Karbala to be over there for
Arbaeen_2014. Last year about
18 million pilgrims visited the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (AS) in Arbaeen.
Karbala is the city in where Imam Hussein (AS), the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) , and his companions were martyred in 61 AH. Unfortunately western news channels close their eyes on such important annual event, just because it may spread the culture of
Islam and specially Shia... But as
Holy Quran says, they can't do so:
يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّـهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّـهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ
They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.
I ask you dear Muslim brothers, please propagate this procession in social networks in such a way that satellite and TV channels were forced to show photos and videos of this ritual. You know that lots of people, even non Shia Muslims, are unaware of such a great gathering. Labbayk Ya Hussein
