Predictions Point to Record-Breaking Arbaeen Pilgrimage for 2025
——————————-
The al-Abbas Holy Shrine has predicted a significant increase in the number of pilgrims for the ongoing Arbaeen pilgrimage of 1404. According to Ali al-Badri, the head of the shrine’s media department, preparations are complete to welcome the larger-than-expected crowd, Shia Waves Persian reported.

Last year, more than 21 million pilgrims visited Karbala for the Arbaeen pilgrimage. This year, due to what the shrine describes as increased interest, that number is expected to be even higher. The shrine has coordinated all necessary services to ensure a smooth pilgrimage, including organizing the movement of visitors and providing resources to help them cope with the hot weather.

Al-Badri called on all pilgrims to cooperate with security forces, religious processions, and service organizations to help make the event a success. The Arbaeen pilgrimage is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, and this year’s event is anticipated to be a particularly magnificent and glorious occasion.
