Ayatollah Seyed Alireza Ebadi says that if pilgrims had difficulty along this path, their problems are minimized by your efforts which is a very good achievement. He added: you belong to Imam Hussein (PBUH), you are Imam Hussein,s(PBUH) workers, you should not trade it for anything else.

"The subject of proximity cannot be traded for anything else today," he added. Providing welfare for pilgrims is important, but what closer to

Imam Hussein (PBUH) goals is the Arbaeen rite who has internationalized Karbala and Ashura, and has angered the enemy and It is the widespread Jihad that transforms the world, soon or after.
