On the occasion of the Arbaeen of Imam Hussain, A message to the Momenin
from the Ayatollah Sheikh Bashir Al-Najafi (may Allah prolong his life),
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
On the occasion of Arbaeen, visiting Imam Hussain’s Shrine and especially walking to his sacred shrine is a great blessing granted by Allah. As an expression of gratitude for this, it is incumbent upon us all to remain steadfast on the path shown by Imam Hussain (PBUH). And as long as we remain on the path of Imam Hussain (PBUH), the blessings and prayers of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Imam Ali (PBUH), Lady Fatimah Zahra (PBUH), and the rest of the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT), particularly Imam Mahdi (PBUH), will be with us all.
This grand assembly on the Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (PBUH) is like thorns in the eyes of the enemies of Ahlulbayt (PBUT), for which they are using every possible means to stop.
يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ
“They wish to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, even though the disbelievers may dislike it.”
Therefore, remain steadfast in the way of Hussain (PBUH), undeterred by the conspiracies of the enemies of Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH).
May Allah grant you the success to complete this sacred journey in safety and return to your homeland as a true follower of Hussain (PBUT).
Wassalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
Bashir Hussain Najafi
