SUBJECT & OBJECTIVES: Possessing a collection of ethical qualities sets apart a virtuous human being from the rest and steers them toward everlasting bliss. It is a widely recognized fact that God's messengers and spiritual leaders exemplified these qualities, even in the most arduous and bleakest circumstances. This was particularly evident on the day of ‘Āshūrā, when Imam Hussein fearlessly showcased these qualities in Karbala, addressing His formidable adversaries and encouraging them to opt for the righteous path. It is not surprising that Imam Hussein demonstrated such nobility amidst the turmoil of warfare, as his father Ali once asserted that through a change of circumstances, the mettle of men is known. On the 10th of Moharram, we must fully immerse ourselves in Imam Hussein's enlightening utterances, striving to grasp his profound truth.METHOD & FINDING: Through this examination, we intend to delve into the moral high ground that Imam Hussein adopted on this momentous day, employing a descriptive-analytical methodology. Through undertaking this investigation, we have managed to uncover several priceless facets of Imam Hussein's character, which became evident on a day unparalleled in human history. In his speeches, Imam Hussein emphasized the importance of virtues such as gentle articulation, alignment with a divine, prophetic, and Quranic approach, unwavering resolve and refusal to yield to the adversary, as well as humbleness and rejection of conceit before the Almighty, among various others.CONCLUSION: These facets demonstrate the authentic model of moral virtues embodied by Imam Hussein, which are proven in times of difficulty and crisis. His steadfastness in these principles reflects the mark of a truly perfect man.

SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES: Despite the many uprisings in human history, the revolution of Imam Hussein and his companions is a key example of the Islamic revivalism that has retained its distinct characteristics and reformist features throughout the ages. The philosophy of millions marching to Karbala every year is in commemoration of Ashura Day. In addition to reflecting humanity's thirst for freedom and the populations outrage against social injustice, oppression and tyranny, it also represents the spiritual and practical aspects of love and loyalty to the Master of Martyrs who through his pure blood and the sacrifices of his beloved ones, revived the true spirit of Islam.METHOD AND FINDING: This idea of pilgrims visiting Imam Hussein's sanctified physical shrine has been extensively covered in anthropological and social studies. It has also prompted international observers to closely monitor this series of events which are not present at such a massive scale in other parts of the world. Despite the fact that this visit is regarded as the largest mass gathering on a global magnitude, we find that some are attempting in various ways to oppose these great religious rituals and wipe away the message of this visit in all its dimensions. For example, some secularism has criticised the march to Imam Hussein as they believe it disrupts society and imprisons many people's lives. They also have the notion that civilization and growth are built on a foundation of materialistic means, with morality and spirituality views having no place in this society. Also tend to notice that the International media purposefully seeks to ignore these annual visits and this global event, with them seeking to cover and spotlight every news story in various fields and different regions of the world, no matter how minor it may seem.CONCLUSION: It is necessary for all of us, in our respective capacities, to spread the message: ‘Who is Hussain?’, to globalise this religious and social event as one of the most important occurrences in the world while also working on the cultural building and reconstruction of modern Islamic civilization as well as to research the various aspects of this great human and peaceful review centred on the Arbaeen Pilgrimage.

The epic of Ashura is a wonderful manifestation of a series of heroic events that have passed through history and eras; Where the most noble human interests in sacrifice, courage and forgiveness in the sense of reviving Hosseini are displayed; Therefore, the Imami Shiites and the followers and enthusiasts of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH) love the Imams, and especially Imam Hussein (PBUH), and on this basis, they hold meetings commemorating the tragedy of Imam Hussein (PBUH) on an annual basis. Among the important questions that are answered in this research are:- Why do we cry for Imam Hussein (as)?- Why do not we mourn for other infallible Imams (PBUH) like Imam Hussein (PBUH)?- What is the reason for the intense respect for Imam Hussein (as)?- Should we cry for Imam Hussein (as) as a person or because he caused the loss of Islamic rule?- Are we weeping only for the oppression of Imam Hussein (as) or are we weeping for the injustice and oppression that was inflicted on him in general?

There is no difference between years, months and days, years count either 365d or 366d and days count 24 hours, neither less nor more. These are events that give values to a year or a month or a day that becomes an exceptional year, an exceptional month or a specific and unique and exceptional day unlike any other. And the values given to those years, months, and days depend on the worth and status of the person we are assigning. These values can be attributed to a great personality of a people or a nation etc… and these values can be either a birth, a death and all this will depend on the consideration which this nation or the disciples have for this personality.
