The Sacred Defense narrator, comparing the pillars of the Arbaeen walk to the troop formations on the night of battlefield operations, said: \u201cThis movement is not ordinary; the unprecedented unity of the Iranian and Iraqi nations fulfills the vision of Imam Khomeini (may his soul rest in peace), who said that when these two nations unite, significant transformations in the region will begin<\/p>\n\n

Haj Hossein Yekta, a narrator of the Sacred Defense, addressing the pilgrims and volunteers at the holy shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (peace be upon her) at Arbaeen post 1080 on the route from Najaf to Karbala, described Arbaeen as \u201coutwardly a pilgrimage, inwardly a standing for God.\u201d He emphasized that this great movement serves as a global exercise in readiness for the appearance of Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance) and lays the groundwork for the realization of unity within the Islamic Ummah<\/p>\n\n

At the beginning of his speech, he said: \u201cOur path today is a red carpet of the martyrs\u2019 blood, leading us to the Plain of Affliction and the Valley of the Martyrs. Outwardly, this journey is a pilgrimage, but inwardly, it is a standing for God and receiving the divine mission<\/p>\n\n

He emphasized that \u201cthousands of young people and the nation\u2019s assets have been sacrificed to open this path\u201d and suggested that every Arbaeen pilgrim act as a representative of a martyr, mentioning their name along the route; for the martyrs are alive, provided for by their Lord, and bestow blessings upon the pilgrims from the heavens<\/p>\n\n

Haj Hossein Yekta, comparing the pillars of the Arbaeen walk to troop formations on the night of battlefield operations, said: \u201cThis movement is not ordinary. The unprecedented unity of the Iranian and Iraqi nations fulfills the vision of Imam Khomeini (may his soul rest in peace), who said that when these two nations unite, significant regional transformations will begin<\/p>\n\n

This commander of the Sacred Defense era described Arbaeen as a global exercise and added: \u201cMajor nations such as India, Pakistan, Yemen, and many countries in Africa and Asia have not yet participated in Arbaeen. The present gathering is a reconnaissance force for the main exercise that will one day bring the Islamic world together on this path<\/p>\n\n

Haj Hossein Yekta, referring to Arbaeen\u2019s role in uniting the Axis of Resistance, said: \u201cThe blood of martyrs from Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen has mingled in defense of the holy shrines, and this front today extends to the heart of Palestine. This is precisely the promise of Imam Ruhollah, that the path to Jerusalem passes through Karbala<\/p>\n\n

Recalling the nights of operations and the hardships of the frontlines, he likened Arbaeen to a frontline mission: \u201cJust as the fighters once detached their hearts from family and work and unquestioningly followed the Imam\u2019s command, today we too must practice loyalty to Imam Khamenei<\/p>\n\n

Haj Hossein Yekta highlighted the role of media in today\u2019s battle and emphasized: \u201cThe enemy has realized that the war of narratives is even more important than missiles. We must convey the message of Arbaeen to the world, even if global media attempt to censor us<\/p>\n\n

He warned against neglecting the philosophy of Arbaeen, saying: \u201cThe Arbaeen stations are places for replenishment and movement, not for stopping. This journey is not merely about walking and hospitality; it is a practice of determination and will for a great mission<\/p>\n\n

Haj Hossein Yekta described the main mission of Arbaeen as \u201cpreparing for the Noble Government\u201d and added: \u201cJust as the nights of Karbala-5 were the nights of Qadr for the Islamic Revolution, today, pillar by pillar and step by step on the path to Karbala, the nights of Qadr for the Mahdavi Revolution are taking shape. Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance) watches over our intentions and goals<\/p>\n\n

Referring to the unprecedented solidarity of the resistance forces during \u201cAl-Aqsa Storm,\u201d he said: \u201cFour Shia fronts and four Sunni fronts raised the banner of truth together. This coordination and unity are among the blessings of the Arbaeen culture<\/p>\n\n

At the end, Haj Hossein Yekta, inviting the pilgrims not to miss the \u201ctent of Baqiyatallah,\u201d said: \u201cPilgrimage must be accompanied by awareness, and returning from Arbaeen must be accompanied by a mission. This path is a prelude to visiting Al-Aqsa Mosque and the fulfillment of the divine promise of the appearance of the Imam, so do not fall behind<\/p>\n\n
