Thursday, 21 September 2023

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.”

In this ceremony, while expressing his gratitude to the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, Hojat al-Islam al-Batat, the representative of Imam Hussain’s Holy Shrine (a.s.) said, “First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, especially Ayatollah Ramazani, and the organizers for holding this meeting. We need such programs. The cause of Imam Hussain (a.s.) brings nations together. We Shiites of AhlulBayt (a.s.) are always looking for things that bring us together.”

“We should have many activities regarding the Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (a.s.). Other religions do not have such a program. Pilgrims from dozens of nationalities participate in Arbaeen ceremonies,” he continued.

“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,” al-Batat added.

Referring to the need for missionaries, representative of Imam Hussain’s (a.s.) Holy Shrine stated, “We need missionaries who are with the people; missionaries who know about the problems of young people and can communicate with them. We have to present Shia in the best way to the world, and the best tool for this is to use the capacity of the Arbaeen ceremony.

“Some institutions work for this ceremony during Arbaeen. While it is needed to work for Arbaeen on all days of the year,” he said at the end.
