What advise for months of mourning Ahlulbayt (a)?

Que- What words of advice would you give to procession owners to follow in the months of mourning the Ahlul-Bayt (as)?

In the name of Allah: Any camps and processions that open for the sake of mourning the Ahlul-Bayt (as) should keep in mind the spirit of the houses of Bani Hashim and the house of the prophet's (pbuh & hf) holy progeny (as) after the tragedy of Karbala and under the supervision of the holy Imams (as). Furthermore, it should be noted that it is not permissible to take advantage of these places and use them as way to earn money or political fame.

Wikipedia Describes Arbaeen Convention in Karbala as Largest Gathering in the World

Arbaeen marks the anniversary of the 40th day after the battle of Karbala on Ashura in which Imam Hussein (AS) and 72 of his companions were martyred.

This year, some 19 million Shia Muslims gathered in the holy city of Karbala on Arbaeen (Thursday, January 3), the encyclopedia wrote, noting that the number of pilgrims last year amounted to 15 million.

It also said that the number was between 10 to 14 million pilgrims in the years 2009 and 2010.

Many people from cities of Iraq go to Karbala on foot to be in the city on the day of Arbaeen as a gesture of sympathy with the batch of the Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) prisoners who were forced by the army of Yazid to go on foot to Karbala from Levant (Syria) after the event of Ashura.

Many foreign Shia Muslims have also joined the Iraqi pilgrims every year since the fall of Saddam Hussein.

Shia pilgrims in Karbala for Arbaeen

Marking the 40th day after the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the third Shia Imam and the grandson of Prophet Muhammad. Just like the rest of the world, in Iraq, millions of Shia pilgrims from various countries, including Iran, have taken a long walk to the holy city of Karbala. Dressed in black, they are commemorating the tragedy of Karbala in Imam Hussein’s holy shrine.

In the Iranian capital Tehran, tens of thousands of mourners have also marked this historic occasion, which is also a national holiday. Speaking to Press TV, some of the mourners condemned the recent attacks targeting Shia pilgrims in Iraq's holy cities. They said despite the terrorist attacks, they will keep walking from their hometowns to Karbala.

Arba'een is one of the largest pilgrimage gatherings on Earth, in which every year more than 10 million people go to the city of Karbala. The pilgrims commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and his companions who were killed in the Battle of Karbala some 14 hundred years ago. The occasion reminds the faithful of the core message behind Imam Hussein’s martyrdom: establishing justice and fighting injustice, come what may.

Tears of Fatima Zahra (as)

I am a lady of modest attire,
whose heart burns with raging fire!
I am the mother of Hassan & Hussain
One was poisoned, the other was slain!

My father was Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.) he died leaving me sad !
After his death, the Muslims went cold-blooded and bad.
The Messenger’s family was imprisoned, tortured & killed,
What were our crimes ? What was fulfilled ?

Our first Imam Ali was murdered with a poisoned sword
As he lay in ‘Sajda’ to Allah (swt) our Lord.
Tragedy of Kerbala was a lesson for mankind to learn,
To fight against every Yazeed, at every turn !

Yazeedi Islam was to drink, gamble & commit open sin,
Whose ways are you following ?
Forgotten Zain-ul-Abedin ?

Sajaad shed tears blooded red !
To save Islam, Hussain gave his head !
All the Imams preached ‘salaat’-
So Ummah of Rasool(s.a.w.) why neglect your ‘wajibat’?

In Muhurram, you cry for Zainab’s grief -
As you cover your heads for a brief !
You send curses to Shimr for all that he did,
But then expose your true colours & reveal all that you hid !

Making mockery of ‘hijaab’- Have you no shame ?
Sisters in ‘Imaan’ – Islam is no game !
They gave us ‘Surah Nisa’ – For guidance as beacons of light !
But still ‘Kufaar’ system confuses you - Believing wrong is right !

This fashion world is just a stepping stone, for all to one day leave.
So is it not better now, you repent your sins, practise and believe !
Bollywood films are Satanic,that destroys Islamic ideology by day !
These and otherworldly attractions lead you astray !

Time waits for no soul - young, old, black or white.
Angel of death could come knocking anytime,
So fear Allah’s (swt) might!
