By: Ismail Zabeeh

A hadith, or a saying, of Prophet Muhammad (peace of Allah be on him and his pure progeny) goes that Allah certainly looks at the visitors of Hussein in Karbala before He looks at His (Allah’s) visitors in Mt. Arafat.

HOLY CITY OF KARBALA, Iraq: Several million devotees visited the holy mausoleum of Chief of Martyrs Al-Imam Abi Abdellah Al-Hussein (peace of Allah be on him) marking the Day of Arafah, the Zul-hijja 9, amid tight security measures.

The pilgrims from across Iraq thronged the holy shrine on the night and day of Arafah, an occasion when a visit to the grandson of holy Prophet (peace of Allah be on him and his pure progeny), Chief of Youth of Paradise Al-Imam Al-Hussein bin Ali bin Abi Taleb (peace of Allah be on them) is highly recommended by traditions.

A hadith, or a saying, of Prophet Muhammad (peace of Allah be on him and his pure progeny) goes that Allah certainly looks at the visitors of Hussein in Karbala before He looks at His (Allah’s) visitors in Mt. Arafat.

Visitors also converged on the holy shrine of his brother Abu`l Fazl Al-Abbas bin Ali bin Abi Taleb (peace of Allah be on them) in this holy city.

Special stalls for free drinks were set up to facilitate the ‘Visitors of Hussein”. They recited zyarah in front of the holy grave of the Imam (peace of Allah be on him) and performed other rituals.
