A special suggestion for those who want to participate in the Arbaeen walk!

One way I suggest for improving the spirituality of this trip is to remember Imam Mahdi (aj) more in this blessed, epic journey. Talking to Imam Mahdi (aj) is something very beautiful during this trip, especially when you are walking in darkness in the nights.

Why do we ask God several times in the Ashura Supplication to hurry the reappearance of the saviour (aj) in order to avenge the blood of Imam Husayn (as) and remove oppression?

The greatest effect Imam Husayn (as) has, is that he lays the groundwork for Imam Mahdi’s (aj) reappearance. If someone does not pay attention to the Imam of the Time (aj) during Arbaeen, it is as if he has not understood the philosophy of making the Arbaeen pilgrimage. The philosophy of the Arbaeen walk is to prepare the groundwork for Imam Mahdi’s (aj) reappearance. In the Arbaeen Supplication, we recite, "I am ready to help you.”

In Arbaeen, when you say, "I am ready to help you," do you mean you want to help Imam Husayn (as) who lived 1400 years ago, or do you want to help his son, Mahdi (aj)? Today, helping the Imam of the Time (aj) means preparing the groundwork for his Reappearance.

You should remember Imam Mahdi (aj) during the Arbaeen walk so much that everyone realizes this magnificent Arbaeen - with all its Mawkibs and crowds - is actually Imam Mahdi’s (aj) encampment and it is bringing us closer to his reappearance.

While we are walking during the Arbaeen walk, we should have two loves in mind: one is the love of visiting Imam Husayn’s shrine (as) and the second is the love of breathing and taking steps next to the Imam of the Time (aj) on this path. Those who participate in the Arbaeen walk should keep remembering Imam Mahdi (aj).
