The reflection of the Arbaeen Walk has brought honor and dignity for Islam and Muslims

If we stay united even in our statements, this will bring greatness to the personality of the Islamic Ummah. Whenever we've witnessed demonstrations of this unity and gathering – even if it is a mere gathering of bodies – its reflection in the world has brought dignity for Islam and Muslims. You've witnessed how during the Arbaeen (40th) of Imam Hussain, millions of people gather. People throughout the world bow down in respect to this great movement that was started by a group of Muslims.
