Abstract

Arbaeen is an epic that is created by the lovers and enthusiasts of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) and in many cases, outside of human will, but the necessity of addressing major and fundamental measures should not be neglected. There are various shortcomings in the management of services for Arbaeen. For example, various agencies consider themselves responsible for providing services and facilitating affairs, which has complicated the arrangement of organizations and departments. One of the policy shortcomings is the lack of a picture of Arbaeen that is comprehensive of the approaches and opinions available in describing Arbaeen. Such a picture is useful in sensitive and dangerous times and makes the fruits of Arbaeen more accessible. Therefore, the question of the present research is: "What is the comprehensive picture of Arbaeen Husseini?" Therefore, this research was conducted using the content analysis method. According to the findings of this research, 106 themes were obtained from 128 initial statements, and 13 concepts were extracted from them. Finally, three categories were obtained from the concepts: "nation", "helper", and "the appearance of the Imam of the Sacrifice of Souls". The result is that Arba'een is a nation that is increasingly preparing for the victory of the Imam of the Age, may God have mercy on him.
