A photograph documenting pilgrims of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) participating in the Arbaeen pilgrimage has been selected by the international news agency Associated Press (AP) as one of its most impactful images from around the world.

The US-based agency included the photograph in a visual report highlighting some of the most significant human and global events captured by its photographers worldwide.

According to the report, the image shows large crowds of pilgrims shortly before entering the holy city of Karbala to participate in the Arbaeen commemoration, which marks forty days after the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), his family, and his companions in the Battle of Karbala.

The inclusion of the Arbaeen pilgrims’ image in an international selection of prominent photographs reflects the growing global attention toward the pilgrimage, which brings together millions of visitors from diverse countries and cultures in Karbala each year to commemorate Imam Hussein’s legacy of sacrifice and justice.
