Abstract

The Pilgrimage of Arbaeen, the 40th day of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), which is exclusively reserved for and highly recommended by him, has continually been organized from Ashura in 61 AH onward. In recent years, the Pilgrimage of Arbaeen has become the largest human congregation and a unique phenomenon in the world, so that some scholars consider it a miracle of the time. Those engaged in Arbaeen are highly diverse and demonstrate new behaviors and common norms during this celebration. This article gives an account of the behavior of the hosting Iraqi people and servitors during Arbaeen from the point of view of those at place. The research is qualitative and of an anthropological type. The data was collected through collaborative observation and both individual and group interviews conducted and classified by the researcher who has participated in the event on numerous occasions. Research findings include three themes or categories of tradition, blessing and kindness, In other words, the pilgrims, the behavior of the Iraqi people and their relentless Service all along the path are ascribed to tradition (the traditional roots of the people including their custom of hospitality), blessing (the request for sustenance of blessings from Imams, in particular Imam Hussein) and ultimately an expression of disinterested love (devoting oneself to Imam (as) without any expectation of reciprocation).
