Waves of pilgrims flocking to Karbala.

Time is healing all wounds and alleviating all grief and sadness when people lose their beloved ones, but only the fire of sadness on Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) that never extinguishes! The Almighty has imposed on all Muslims the duty of loving the Holy Prophet (Allah's prayers be upon him and upon his holy Household) and of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). Therefore, the lovers of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) renew the condolences to Aba Abdillah al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) every year.

And with the start of the countdown to commemorate the Arba'een of Imam al-Hussayn and his brother Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon both of them), the holy city of Karbala has become such a sea of human waves, while the pilgrims are still flocking from all entrances of the city, chanting: Ya Hussayn!
