كاركردهاي پياده روي اربعين در پيش برد اهداف جمهوري اسلامي ايران

The Arbaeen march is one of the religious an‎d ritual examples that has become very popular among Muslims in recent years an‎d has received special attention. In Shiite religious circles, the Arbaeen march is more than a simple religious phenomenon, but rather an intertwined an‎d multi-layered reality. This special an‎d unique event has created a suitable platform for the flourishing of human an‎d moral qualities, intercultural interaction, social cohesion, an‎d the expression of Shiite identity. Today, Islamic Iran is not only considered the political, economic, an‎d military enemy of the West, but also the cultural, intellectual, cognitive, an‎d philosophical enemy of the West. While the material civilization of the West focused on mere humanism by aban‎doning God, the Islamic Revolution of Iran once again raised the banner of the revival of God an‎d spirituality. Today, a manifestation of this return to divine life can be seen in the wave of love an‎d devotion to Aba Abdullah; From the perspective of theorists of Western material civilization, their main enemy is a culture that manifests love for God not only in the heart, but also in public arenas an‎d through great divine rituals such as the Arbaeen processions an‎d the Hajj. After the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran under the leadership of Imam Khomeini (RA), many goals an‎d ideals were expressed by him in various fields that overshadowed all political, social, cultural, economic, etc. affairs inside an‎d outside the territory of Iran, the West Asian region an‎d the world. Among the most important of these goals are 1- Implementing the laws of Islam an‎d the uprising to revive the divine laws 2- Spreading Islamic justice 3- Islamic Republic of Justice 4- Neither East nor West 5- Fighting Israel 6- Saving the oppressed of the world 7- Laying the groundwork for the emergence of Imam Zaman (A.T.). Therefore, from the first days after the victory of the revolution, Imam Khomeini (RA) issued a decree to issue an Islamic revolution to other Islamic countries. The implementation of this decree required hardware an‎d software tools an‎d facilities inside an‎d outside Iran. Before the collapse of the Iraqi Baath regime, the Islamic Republic sought to increase its influence in the West Asian region mainly through educational an‎d sometimes military aid to liberation, anti-colonial, authoritarian, an‎d especially anti-Zionist groups. However, after the collapse of the Baath regime, one of the developments that took place in Iraq an‎d spread greatly an‎d became a major regional spiritual gathering was the Arbaʹin march. Shiites from other countries participate in the Arbaʹin march, an‎d this sometimes became a manifestation of the presence of Shiites. The Islamic Republic of Iran plays a major role in this, an‎d for this reason, the present study aims to explain how the Islamic Republic of Iran uses this tool to expan‎d its cultural, political, economic, an‎d military security influence among the Shiites an‎d change the balance of power in the region in its favor in order to achieve the goals of the Islamic Revolution.
