With an influx of large numbers of visitors
The Joint Coordination Center records more than 336,000 visitors benefiting from the free internet service provided by the General Directorate of Information and Communications Technology in coordination with the General Company for Communications and Informatics, until the morning of Safar 17, 1444 AH, and at various visitor sites.
Ziyarat al-Arba’een the millionth event of the leader of the youth of Paradise, Imam Hussein, begins on the first day of Safar and lasts until the twentieth day. It’s named “Ziyarat al-Arba’een” because it marks forty days since the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and his companions on the tenth day of Muharram in the year 61 AH. The incident of his martyrdom is considered one of the most tragic events in human history. Imam Hussein, along with seventy of his companions, including children, women, and the elderly, were killed for the sole reason that they enjoined good and forbade evil. Since then, the day of his martyrdom has become an annual commemoration for Muslims, where mourning ceremonies are held, and food and drinks are provided for the people in general and the poor in particular. As the days of Arba’een approach, millions of people start their journey on foot from various regions towards the holy shrine of Imam Hussein. During this time, processions and organizations begin to provide services to the visitors of the master of martyrs on a large scale. They arrange accommodations, prepare different types of food and drinks, and offer medical, guidance, cultural, social, and organizational services, all of which are provided voluntarily by the local residents. Only a small portion of the services is supported by government entities. It is from this perspective that al-Hashd al-Shaabi took the initiative to create a website that discusses this significant event and sheds light on the greatest visitation in the history of humanity.
