———————————
The spiritual pilgrimage of Arbaeen is gaining significant global attention through social media, with live stories and videos bringing the event to a worldwide audience. According to a report from Shia Waves Persian, the viral content is giving new life to the Arbaeen phenomenon.

The report highlights the experience of an American influencer named Doug Barnard, who participated in the pilgrimage for the first time. Barnard expressed astonishment at the “unparalleled hospitality” of the Iraqi people, their generosity, and their profound kindness to strangers. He shared his journey with his followers, showing the free food, medical services, and unconditional love offered at the Mawākib (service stations) along the route.

Barnard described Arbaeen as the “largest human gathering,” a spiritual event that transcends religious boundaries to connect people’s hearts. The article concludes that social media plays a crucial role in introducing the culture of Ashura to the world, allowing every user, whether famous or not, to share the message of sacrifice and justice. This media convergence has transformed Arbaeen into a global cultural phenomenon that breaks down barriers and brings people closer together under the banner of Imam Hussein.
