Mehr News Agency - Arbaeen mawkibs at Chazabeh border

TEHRAN, Aug. 27 (MNA) – As the Arbaeen pilgrims are crossing the Iran-Iraq borders to visit Imam Hussein (AS) holy shrine in Karbala, different mawkibs (voluntarily prepared stations) are set on their paths to serve them.

Arbaeen is a Shia religious observance that occurs forty days after the Day of Ashura. It commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who was martyred on the 10th day of the month of Muharram.
