Arba’een, world’s greatest human congregation

John Shuck, American pastor has arrived in the Iraqi holy city of Karbala on the eve of Arba’een hailing the diversity of nationalities, denominations and ethnicities in the greatest human convention, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

The cleric expressed satisfaction over the maiden trip made to one of the holy city of Karbala and said,” Despite the diversity of ethnicities and nationalities, no sectarian issues have been raised because the congregation is based on humanity principles.”

American participant in Arba’een ceremony also praised the commemoration of Imam Hussein (AS) as the biggest peaceful congregation in the world and expressed hope that US media cover the true image of global meeting.

“The fact that millions of people gather in Karbala would bring hope to those in pursuit of justice and stand against oppression” he said.

According to the American pastor the most beautiful aspect in this ceremony is that pilgrims include all people across the world in their prayers, a fact which manifests honor and humanity of Muslims.
