"I was fortunate to join the sea of lovers of the Ahl al-Bayt of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad Mustafa (PBUH) and the multitude of Muslims who gathered in Karbala for Arbaeen," he wrote in a post on his X account.

"We call the holy sites of Iraq "the shrines of the great" not only because they are gateways to the afterlife, but also because they show us how a heartwarming empathy and unity that transcends the boundaries of nationality, ethnicity, gender, sect, and religion is entirely possible in this world," he added

He added, “Imam Hussein’s (AS) battle was a stand against oppression, not a struggle for worldly power or personal gain.”

Araqchi continued, “His relentless sacrifice and selflessness hold eternal lessons that every Muslim should heed — especially when faced with enemies who question your strength and steadfastness.”
