Reflections on Arba'een and Renewing Our Commitment to Imam Ḥusayn - Maulana Syed Muhammad Rizvi

- Arba'een of Imam Ḥusayn recently took place with over 22 million attendees in Karbala, marking the largest religious gathering globally without incidents.
- Non-Muslims and non-Shi'as joined the Arba'een walk and were impressed by the hospitality and support of the Iraqis along the 80km/50-mile journey.
- Iraqis provided water, food, shelter, and medical assistance voluntarily, out of love and compassion.
- The commitment to Imam Ḥusayn should extend beyond Muḥarram and Ṣafar and manifest in daily life, as expressed in the Ziyārat Wārith.
- The true meaning of "labbayk ya Ḥusayn" is reflected in Ziyārat of Rajab and Sha'ban, emphasizing a heartfelt response to his call.
- The 'aza of Imam Ḥusayn should impact our lives, as demonstrated by Imam Riza's disapproval of those who disrespect the memory of Imam Ḥusayn and his family, particularly Yazeed.
- Tabarra, disliking the enemies of Ahlul Bayt and their behavior, is an essential aspect of expressing devotion to Imam Ḥusayn.
