As the second month of the Islamic calendar unfolds, Muslims enter a deeply reflective and active period of spiritual devotion. Here is what to expect throughout this significant month:
Commemorating Major Events:
The final stretch of Safar brings several solemn anniversaries, Wiladat: Imam Moosa Kazim (AS), Battle of Naharwan was won, the demise of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Martyrdom: Bibi Sakina (SA) binte Hussain (AS), the martyrdom of Martyrdom: BiBi Zainab (SA) (ref), Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba, and the martyrdom of Imam Ali al-Rida.
The World’s Largest Arbaeen-e-Shuhada-e-Karbala (AS): Leading up to the 20th of Safar, expect to see millions of pilgrims from across the globe walking miles on foot toward the holy city of Karbala, Iraq. This massive march is a powerful visual testament to love, peace, and resilience for Imam Hussein (as) and the entire Alhlulbayt.
