The Secretary-General of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) World Assembly said: The duty of the media, in the truest sense, is to convey the truth.

Full Text: Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky's Message to the Third International Conference of Media Narrators of the Ahlul Bayt (AS)

In a world where social media empowers every individual to be a broadcaster but also serves as a potent instrument of propaganda, the challenge of conveying truth is paramount. At this important conference on media, convened during the blessed month of Dhū l-Qaʿda, we recognize the tremendous effort required to counter negative narratives and disseminate accurate information. The Ahlul-Bayt (as) World Assembly News Agency (ABNA) and its initiatives like Al-Thaqalayn International TV are essential in this endeavor, providing a reliable voice for the teachings of Ahlul-Bayt (peace be upon them) amidst a sea of controlled and misleading information.

Video: Arbaeen; A Manifestation of Feast of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and Era of Reappearance

Pilgrimage is the axis of a spiritual and comprehensive journey toward the single Islamic Ummah, and the pilgrimage of Arbaeen, through the manifestation of the feast (divine banquet) and the ethics of Imam Hussain (a.s.), presents a vision of the relationships of believers in the Era of the Reappearance—a manifestation that, year after year, once again draws millions of devotees to this spiritual path.

AhlulBayt News Agency: In the view of many thinkers, Arbaeen is not merely a religious ritual, but a civilizational and global phenomenon that connects two fundamental components of Shia culture—Ashura and the expectation of the Reappearance (Intizar al-Faraj)—to one another. For this reason, opponents of this movement seek to prevent its expansion by creating various obstacles, from field disruptions to psychological warfare and fomenting ethnic and sectarian divisions; while Arbaeen has the capacity to become a focal point for the convergence of Muslims and all monotheists of the world.
