Arbaeen Guide 2024 – Ziyarat of Imam Hussain A.S.
Imam Ja’far As-Sadiq (a.s.)
Virtue of doing Arbaeen Walk, According to Imam Jafar Sadiq(A.S):
If one of our Shia goes for Imam Husain’s (as) Ziarat, then he will not return but all his sins will be forgiven. For every step that he or his mount takes, 1,000 virtues are written for him, 1,000 sins are forgiven and his status is elevated by a 1,000 degrees.
(Behaarul Anwar, vol 101, pg 25, tradition 26; Kamiluz Ziaraat, pg 134)
When the visitor leaves the house, each and every spot that he steps on, prays for him.
(Behaarul Anwar, vol 101, pg 15, tradition 14)
When the rays of the sun fall on the visitor of Imam’s (a.s.) shrines, it consumes his sins like the fire consumes wooden sticks. The sun does not leave any sin on his body and he returns home sinless. In fact on his return he is granted a status that is not even given to those who shed their blood in Allah’s path.
(Behaarul Anwar, vol 101, pg 15, tradition 14; Kamiluz Ziaraat, pg 298)
When a Shia knows Imam Husain’s (a.s.) right over the people and leaves his house for Imam’s (a.s.) ziarat in this condition, without any pride and conceit, then a 1,000 angels accompany him from the right, with another 1,000 angels on the left. And he will be rewarded as if he has performed 1,000 Hajj and 1,000 Umrah with a prophet or with the successor (wasi) of a prophet.
(Behaarul Anwar, vol 101, pg 91, tradition 33)
WALKING GUIDELINE
Halabi Zowwaar Abu Sajjad, Halabi Hom
The temperature is very hot in Najaf/Karbala, reaching up to 45C. The walk has to be planned accordingly. Adequate rest during the day will ensure and allow people to cover the distance during the night – Usually, the hottest hours are between 9am to 3pm. People who can walk at night do prefer to rest between 7am to 5pm as well. Make sure to keep drinking a sip of water, not to get yourself dehydrated while walking during the day. Cover the time lost during the day by walking during the nights..! Arbaeen’s walk dynamics are changing and it is going to be night-time walk in years to come. Labbayk Ya Hussain (AS).

DIRECTIONS
Halabi Zowwaar Abu Sajjad, Halabi Hom
Route # 1: Take an Exit from Imam Ali (A.S) Haram from Bab-e-Tousi (Opposite to Bab-e-Qibla) and start walking straight on Shahra-e-Tousi – After about 500 meters, Wadi-us-Salam Cemetry will start – Keep walking straight and you will eventually get to the Highway (on the right), turn left, where hundreds of thousands of people will be walking towards Karbala – Join them and you will reach the Haram of Hazrat Abbas (A.S) after about 70 km at Pole # 1452.
Route # 2: Directions from Kufa via Hindiyah to Karbala [People Starting their walk from Mosque of Kufa]: You can start walking towards Masjid-e-Sehla. There is a route from back of Masjid-e-Sehla, This road runs parallel to the Najaf-Karbala Highway, most people walk on. This route is usually cooler during hot days, as it runs alongside the River Furaat. This route is longer and is about 98.1 km from Kufa to Karbala via Hindiyah. This route was more popular during the Saddam (LA) era, when the walk was restricted by the regime of Saddam Hussein (LA), as this route runs through the villages and isn’t a proper route to be caught on and persecuted.
