PMF Representative: Protecting the Legacy of the Martyrs and Serving Arbaeen Pilgrims Is a Sacred Mission

A representative of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in the Arbaeen processions has stressed that sincere service to pilgrims and safeguarding the path of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, remain the core mission and guiding principle of Arbaeen convoys and religious delegations.

Hawzah News Agency- Speaking at a spiritually charged gathering dedicated to the remembrance of martyrs, Hojatoleslam Fajri said that the Arbaeen processions are rooted in devotion, sacrifice, and loyalty to the path of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him. He paid tribute to the martyrs who gave their lives in defense of faith, justice, and human dignity, describing their blood as the foundation of today’s culture of resistance and service.

“Peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of God and his family, upon the Commander of the Faithful Ali ibn Abi Talib, and upon Imam Hussein, peace be upon them all, as well as upon the martyrs who sacrificed their lives on the path of truth,” he said, adding that the memory of the martyrs continues to illuminate the way forward for religious and popular movements.

Highlighting the significance of religious gatherings, Fajri noted that such assemblies are established on the basis of trust, sincerity, and faith. Their primary aim, he said, is to preserve the path of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, keep the memory of the martyrs alive, and promote selfless service to pilgrims and all those seeking closeness to God.

“The school of the martyrs and the culture of sacrifice are not slogans; they are the result of pure bloodshed in defense of truth,” he said. “This legacy is our guiding light in confronting today’s challenges.”

The PMF representative emphasized that the current responsibility of religious activists and institutions is to serve with sincerity, uphold Islamic ethics, observe religious decorum, and remain steadfast on the path of truth. He acknowledged the difficulties and pressures facing religious and cultural workers but said perseverance in the way of God is both necessary and honorable.

Hojatoleslam Fajri underlined the role of popular institutions, religious delegations, seminaries, and other groups in sustaining this path, noting that resistance forces—particularly the Popular Mobilization Forces—have demonstrated practical examples of dedication, sacrifice, and genuine service on the ground.

He also highlighted the critical role of education, saying teachers, scholars, and educational institutions bear a major responsibility in shaping the next generation. “Through sincere education and training, free from show or self-interest, they pave the way for the continuation of the martyrs’ path and the deepening of the culture of sacrifice in society,” he said.

Stressing the importance of coordination, Fajri called for greater cooperation among Arbaeen processions, delegations, schools, and jihadi groups. He said effective service to millions of pilgrims requires careful planning, constant interaction, and collective effort, all while adhering to Islamic ethics and religious principles.

Concluding his remarks, Fajri acknowledged the challenges facing religious and cultural activists but reaffirmed that serving the people and pilgrims sincerely is a natural and indispensable duty. “With unity, empathy, and synergy, we must continue this path and ensure that the names and memory of the martyrs remain alive in our society,” he said.
