In a powerful response to recent Quran burnings, members of the Iraqi group "Bani Amer," hailing from Basra, made a solemn pilgrimage to the holy shrines of Imam Hussein (AS) and Hazrat Abbas (AS) in Karbala during this year's Arbaeen procession.
Clad in pristine white attire, these devout pilgrims conveyed their deep respect for the Holy Quran by showcasing select verses through elaborate mosaics, with the breathtaking visuals captured by drone footage.
The significance of this year's Arbaeen takes on added weight against the backdrop of a disturbing surge in Quran desecration acts, particularly in Nordic states like Sweden and Denmark, all justified under the guise of freedom of speech.
The Arbaeen march, which witnesses millions of pilgrims undertaking the arduous kilometers-long journey on foot, has been marked by an array of programs and campaigns dedicated to honoring the Holy Quran.
This annual Arbaeen mourning ceremony serves as a remarkable and massive religious congregation on a global scale, drawing in excess of 20 million pilgrims. It symbolizes the 40th day following Ashura, a solemn remembrance of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS), the highly esteemed grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
