One of the world’s largest religious gatherings, Albain marks the end of a 40-day period of mourning that continued the martial teaching of Imam Hussein (AS) and his fellow martials at the Battle of Karbara in 680 AD.
Every year, millions of Shia Muslims around the world embark on this pilgrimage on Kalbara, walking hundreds of kilometers as an expression of their faith and devotion.
The Albainian ceremony is unique in that it is the largest gathering with the presence of people of various nationalities around the world. This has become a global event that transnates borders. It lights Ashura’s spark and turns it into motion.
