Hossein Zolfaqari, who is in charge of Arba’een ritual, said due to the importance of this day, proper pre-planning is needed.
Millions of Iranian nationals travel to Iraq annually to attend the pilgrimage, known as Arbaeen, which marks the end of a 40-day mourning period that commemorates the seventh-century death of Imam Hussein (AS), the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).
