The ceremony of the new academic year of AhlulBayt (a.s.) International University was held in the conference hall of the university with the presence of the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

The Photobook “Arbaeen, in 40 Countries of the World” was unveiled in the presence of the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly and a group of religious, cultural, and media figures in the headquarters of the Assembly.

Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Arbaeen can present powerful content to the world. Pilgrims from more than 100 nationalities participated in the Arbaeen pilgrimage. We are witnessing the expansion of Arbaeen programs in different countries of the world, and walking ceremonies in memory of Arbaeen are held in different countries, with a large presence of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) followers. These cases are nothing but miracles.”

The representative of Imam Hussain’s (a.s.) Holy Shrine stated, “Imam Hussain (a.s.) is not exclusive to Shiites and has become a global cause. In the past, we Shiites of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) were boycotted by the media. But now media arenas are open to us.”

Nasim Channel Director stated, “We can use the media for the uprising of Imam Hussain (a.s.), to introduce the Imam to people of the world. With the blessing of Arbaeen and the media work related to it, we can make the people of the world aware of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and Islam. We must take advantage of such an opportunity.”

The unveiling ceremony of the photo book “Arbaeen in 40 Countries” along with the exhibition “40 Views of Arbaeen” will be held on Thursday morning, September 21, 2023, at ABNA International News Agency.

The researcher on Islamic jurisprudence and history of thought stated, “Imam Reza (a.s.) is the beloved of all Shiites and even Sunnis. This unique popularity is the axis of unity among Islamic denominations. But this capacity should serve the realization of true unity. True unity is achieved when Ma’aref and the teachings of Imam (a.s.) are placed on the table of Islamic thought, and its angles are analyzed.”

A faculty member of the history department of the Imam Khomeini Education and Research Institute stated, “Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h), was the last prophet of God, and the main pillar of the guidance of humanity. The struggles of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) helped preserve and stabilize the pivotal position of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) in Islamic society.”
