Though we are far, we speak of you in remembrance

In this season of Arbaeen, as millions walked the path of Imam Hussain (pbuh), visitors also gathered at the luminous resting place of the martyred Leader in the Dar al-Dhikr hall of the holy shrine of Imam Reza (pbuh) — drawn by the same devotion, the same longing, and the same will to carry on the way of Hussain (pbuh).

"Today, consider how the spirit of struggle, jihad, and readiness for martyrdom have spread throughout the entire Islamic world in one form or another. One example is the great Arbaeen procession. It’s truly a phenomenon beyond description. 
This reflects the rising tide of this spirit of struggle for the sake of God and Islam."

"This movement is one of love and faith. It’s driven by sincere faith, conviction, and belief, which push one to move and act. There’s both love and devotion. And we, from afar, look upon this movement and wish we could have been among those who were blessed with this opportunity and who took part in this.

Though we are far, we speak of you in remembrance

For distance does not hinder a spiritual journey."
