The significance of the first Arba’een
“The significance of the first Arba’een was that it was the powerful media of Ashura. The true media was the cry of [lady] Zaynab al-Kubra (A) and the cry of Imam Sajjad (A). These were the greatest media. In which place? In Kufa, in Shaam; places where darkness existed in its fullness. It was these media that preserved Ashura. It was these media that helped Ashura reach the present time. This is the history and the origin of Arba’een and the movement of Arba’een.”
