How the Almighty God look at the visitors of Imam Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) on the day of 'Arafa..

The Almighty God look at the visitors of Imam Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) on the day of 'Arafa before looking at those standing on the mountain of 'Arafa. All this, to stress on the high status of the master of martyrs (peace be upon him) as without his holy uprising, the Hajj and 'Arafa wouldn't have a meaning, and Muslims around the world wouldn't know the greatness of this day of the 9th of Dhu Al-Hijjah, in which the prayers are accepted and evil is despicable more than any other time.

It is narrated that Imam Zayn Al-Abideen (peace be upon him) saw some men asking the people to help them on the Day of ‘Arafa. He rebuked them for this and said: “Woe unto you! Why do you ask other than Allah on such a day? Those who are in the wombs of the pregnant want to be happy on this day!”

And, among the most important acts in this day is the Zyarat of Imam Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) as narrated in many tradition such as the one where Bashir Ibnu Dahhan asked Imam As-Sadeq (peace be upon him): "“Something I miss the Hajj, so I spend 'Arafa Day at the tomb of Imam Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him)”
Imam (peace be upon him) said,” You have done a nice thing. The Almighty Allah will write twenty accepted Hajjs, twenty accepted Umrahs and reward of fighting twenty battles with a divine messenger or a Just Imam, for any believer who performs the Zyarat of Imam Al-Hussayn with recognition of his rights on any day other than an Eid. Allah will record a hundred Hajjs and a hundred Umrahs and the reward of fighting a hundred battles against enemies of Allah with a divine messenger or a just Imam for one who performs the Zyarat of Imam Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) on any Eid Day. And for one who performs the Zyarat of Imam Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) on 'Arafa Day, with recognition of his rights. Allah will record a thousand accepted Hajjs and a thousand accepted Umrahs and reward of fighting a thousand battles against enemies of Allah with a divine messenger or a just Imam."

And, this is why the lovers and followers of Ahl Al-Bayt (peace be upon them) came from all over to perform the Zyarat of Imam Al-Hussayn and his brother Aba-Al-Fadl Al-Abbas (peace be upon them), defying the current security situation of the country, a Zyarat that was accompanied by tight security measures that exceeded all previous actions in Karbala and beyond, and despite the lack of any means of transport outside the internal transfers of visitors ensured by the holy shrines, the visitors were forced to walk for miles in order to reach the old city. Noting that the general situation of the country was not an obstacle for these numerous visitors, as whoever has Imam Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) as goal all difficulties will be alleviated on his road.

It is noteworthy that both holy shrines of Imam Al-Hussayn and Al-Abbas (peace be upon them) has prepared a special security plan for the blessed day of 'Arafa, and have mobilized all their energies to receive visitors of Imam Al-Hussayn and his brother Aba Al-Fadl Al-Abbas (peace be upon them) and to provide them with the best of services on this occasion.
