ABWA Official Website – The unveiling ceremony of the photo book “Arbaeen in 40 Countries of the World” and the exhibition “40 views of Arbaeen” with the aim of reflecting part of the activities of ABNA International News Agency during this year’s Arbaeen, was held with the presence of Ayatollah Reza Ramezani, Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, a group of officials of Iran’s Arbaeen headquarters, and a number of educated religious and cultural figures.
In this ceremony, pointing out the need to pay attention to the Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (a.s.), Mohammed Reza Khoshro, director of Nasim Channel of IRIB, said, “In terms of journalistic capabilities, the Arbaeen ceremony of Imam Hussain (a.s.) is very important. Because of the millions of people who participate in the Arbaeen Walk, and the tens of millions who are eager to participate in it.”
“Exhibitions related to Arbaeen of Imam Hussain (a.s.) can be held in different parts of the world. For example, a photo exhibition of Arbaeen was held in America, and one of the university professors was impressed and shed tears after participating in this exhibition, seeing the pictures, and learning about the Arbaeen ceremony. Arbaeen can cause events that affect others in this way,” he continued.
“We can use the media for the uprising of Imam Hussain (a.s.), to introduce the Imam to people of the world. With the blessing of Arbaeen and the media work related to it, we can make the people of the world aware of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and Islam. We must take advantage of such an opportunity,” added Nasim Channel director.
