"The Storm of Arbaeen" showcases passion, Gaza solidarity

An Iranian video clip titled "The Storm of Arbaeen" has been released, paying tribute to the upcoming Arbaeen mourning ceremony.

It features the voice of renowned Islamic eulogist Abouzar Rouhi.

This powerful musical piece is also a moving tribute to the people of Gaza, who are enduring unimaginable suffering at the hands of Israel.

Millions of Muslims from around the world gather annually in the Iraqi city of Karbala to observe Arbaeen, which marks the 40th day following the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam.

People from all walks of life travel for days to participate in the sacred event.

The Arbaeen mourning ceremony is one of the world's largest religious gatherings.

Here is a translation of the lyrics in English:

Hasten to Karbala.

It’s time for Arbaeen.

Hasten to Karbala.

It’s time for Arbaeen.

It’s a call to action in the name of God,

Our destination is Palestine.

It’s a call to action in the name of God,

Our destination is Palestine.

I touch my heart,

Meaning that I have you in my heart.

Jabir's greeting means I want to be of service to you.

We salute you and join the army of Imam Mahdi (AS)

We’ll rise as Imam Hussein (AS) did

To deal a final blow to Israel this year.  

We salute al-Quds.

 We, too, like Imam Hussein (AS), have come to aid the oppressed of the world.

Let's be Gaza's voice, our call echoing worldwide.

We’re all set, we’re all set.

We're the Army of the End Times, awaiting Imam Mahdi (AS).

We're the very “Storm of Arbaeen.”

Hear this, world: We're the children of the tempest.

Under this tent, we're one family.

Hasten to Karbala.

It’s time for Arbaeen.

Hasten to Karbala.

It’s time for Arbaeen.

It’s a call to action in the name of God,

Our destination is Palestine.

It’s a call to action in the name of God,

Our destination is Palestine.

O World, behold Karbala, the tempest of the liberated,

Witness the order of Imam Hussein’s (AS) faithful,

Witness the new world order.

O World, look closely,

And you’ll see the Army of Arbaeen marching towards Al-Quds.

This is just a maneuver for the countdown.

The downfall of Israel is imminent in the world.

We’re all set, we’re all set.

We're the Army of the End Times, awaiting Imam Mahdi (AS).

We're the very “Storm of Arbaeen.”

Hear this, world: We're the children of the tempest.

Under this tent, we're one family.

Hasten to Karbala.

It’s time for Arbaeen.

Hasten to Karbala.

It’s time for Arbaeen.

It’s a call to action in the name of God,

Our destination is Palestine.

It’s a call to action in the name of God,

Our destination is Palestine.

With Gaza's children, when our voices unite,

We’ll go to Karbala together, step by step.

We’ll go to Karbala together, step by step.

We'll set up Moukeb tents on our way to Karbala.

With Gazan children,

We'll cry for Imam Hussein’s (AS) six-month-old child, along with Gazan mothers.

In the name of Gaza's fallen, we'll surge.   

We’re all set, we’re all set.

We're the Army of the End Times, awaiting Imam Mahdi (AS).

We're  the very “Storm of Arbaeen.”

Hear this, world: We're the children of the tempest.

Under this tent, we're one family.

Hussein!
