    Pilgrimage of God’s saints could be considered in various aspects such as the dimensions of belief, ethics, politics, training, etc. can be examined. One of the most significant aspects of pilgrimage is its training dimension; in particular, a pilgrimage which in addition to being present alongside God’s saint’s tomb, is accompanied by recitation of valid supplications and Ziaratnameh. Pilgrimage of God’s saints affects the pilgrim both individually and socially. In individual dimension, it removes heedlessness of pilgrim and he would be inspired by God. Attentiveness to everlasting divine power and existence of God’s grace mediators, creates hope in the soul of pilgrim and makes him hopeful to a nice future; trusting in God and his infinite mercy will be revived in his soul and he strengthens spirit of satisfaction and submission by himself by following God’s saints in the afflictions and difficulties and reconciling them.

    Arbaʻeen (The anniversary of the fortieth day after Imam Hussain’s martyrdom) is the day of pilgrimage. This pilgrimage can play a role as a medium and symbol of geo-political power, and the right reflection of this event in media is a new opportunity for the Islamic world. From the beginning, the foreign Media would censor the phenomenon of the Arbaʻeen, but in the subsequent years, they would point at marginal issues or frame it only to show a little aspect of this great phenomenon. Last year, some people treated it by labeling and false claims. Indeed, this news policy cannot be continued in future because, on the one hand, it will decrease the audience and, on the other hand, the alternative media would cover the news to fulfill the needs of the audience, then the real mass media would be forced to do such coverage. Presently, the capacities of the uprising of Imam Hussain and walking in the Fortieth Day must be re-identified and compiled according to various cultures. Herein, producing smart and creative documentary and visual programs will produce developments in this respect.

    Allamah Sayyed Tajuddin Abulfazl Mohammad Avi grew up in Kufa and studied in Hawza (Islamic seminary school) there. Fame of his intellectual and cultural efforts reached to the Court of Oljeitu and he was instated as Head of Naqibs (Chiefs) for Iran and Iraq Holy Places. Sayyed Avi succeeded not only to persuade the King Mohammad Khodabandeh to the path of Ahlulbayt peace be upon them, but also to formalize the Shia faith in the Mogul organization for long years. Prejudiced and extremist historians and biographers have tried to pose unreal accusations and false claims against this Honorable Sayyed in their works; But other numberless evidences and documents which fair historians have inserted in their writings are proving the contrary. Eventually Sayyed Abulfazl Mohammad Tajuddin Avi was tragically martyred along with his two children on the shores of the Tigris near Baghdad by the conspiracy of Mogul executors who had other belief, Khajeh Rashiduddin and also Hanbalis judge’s decree were at the head of the plot. His shrine is in Hafiyra, surrounding area of Kut, Iraq.

    Wahhabis’ encroachment upon Iraq is not a new issue. Indeed, Wahhabism, right from its inception till it gained authority, has many times shown its hostility towards the holy Shrines; likewise, their first attack was launched on 1216 A.H. In this article, we have studied the course of the Wahhabi’s attacks on Iraq in the years between 1920 and 1932 A.D. Since, during those years, Iraq was a colony of England, studying the events of that era will uncover the realities that are useful in order to analyze the current developments and future prospect. This article is centered on the book entitled “the Wahhabi invasions” (al-Qazawaat al-Wahhabiyya) written by Abdul A’l Waheed Abud Isawi and it is considered as its detailed report.

    The present research deals with Fiqhi-Hadithic study of practices of Great Mosque of Kufa and Al-Sahlah Mosque and reviews the way to accomplish religious practices at these two glorious mosques as specific locations in the mosques affect correctness or perfection of a practice. According to narrations related to these mosques, there are special practices and supplications at definite locations in Kufa Mosque by authenticate or accurate narrations that indicate the importance of worship at these locations to infallible Imams and also emphasize that accomplishment of worships at these locations affects perfection of acts of worship and gaining full reward. But about the other parts of Kufa Mosque and all parts of Al-Sahlah Mosque there is no clear evidence for specific locations to worship in these mosques. Accomplishment of worships at the places attributed to prophets and infallible Imams in the mosques, on both conditions of certainty of attribution and proof of frequent accomplishment of worship by infallible Imams at these locations, affects the perfection of practice and it is considered as following practical life of the infallibles, but in the case that frequency of worship at the locations by the infallibles isn’t proved, assuming certainty of attribution, accomplishment of worship at the locations could only be for the sake of seeking blessing.
