In the Halkali Shiite area of Istanbul, Turkey, thousands of lovers of the immaculate and infallible AhlulBayt (a.s.) commemorated the Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (a.s.) in Yahya Kamal Bayatli Cultural Center Hall.

The “Arbaeen Love Journey Group”, including more than 30 Indonesian pilgrims, traveled to the holy and historical places of Iran before traveling to Iraq to participate in the Arbaeen Great Walk. They visited the shrine of Imam Reza (a.s.), the shrine of Lady Masoumeh (a.s.), Khizr Mountain and Imam Khomeini’s historical house in Qom, as well as the tomb of martyr Qassem Soleimani in Kerman.

Hojat al-Islam Sayed Sajid Ali Naqvi stated, “In the last fourteen centuries, humanity considers being with Imam Hussain (a.s.) as a source of honor and guidance, and people from every religion, school of thought, region and country follow his path.”

During the fervent days of Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (a.s.), a group of Shiites from Portugal joined the enthusiasts of Infallible AhlulBayt (a.s.) and started their walk from Najaf to Karbala.

Hojat al-Islam Naqvi stated, “In the meeting we had with the Danish government about Islamophobia, in response to the protest of Muslim representatives to the growth of Islamophobia, the foreign minister of the country said, “Denmark is a free country, and you can speak against the Prophet Jesus (p.b.u.h)!” In response we said, “We will never ever imagine doing such a thing”.”

Sheikh Saleh Ahmed Lazari, a prominent Shiite scholar of the ​​South and West African countries, went to Iraq for pilgrimage of the holy shrines.

Idi Sidi Wambua, a missionary from Tanzania, stated, “Lack of unity and insisting on differences causes many problems for Shiite and Sunni Muslims. This unity must first of all be created among the Shiites themselves. Because they are all enthusiasts of AhlulBayt (a.s.), and this is the best propagation for Shiism.”

Shiite missionary cleric in Guyana said, “The emergence of ISIS in West Asia, which sought to sow discord among Muslims and failed, led to the soaring of Islamophobia in Europe, the United States, Africa, and then in the South America. On daily bases we witness anti-Islamist propaganda and casting doubts against the Quran and Islam, and sometimes even insult the sacred things of Muslims.”
