There is no doubt that history of Islamic Revolution is closely associated with Ashura and Arba’een
Observers maintain that if it were not Imam’s struggle and martyrs’ sacrifices with divine goals, millions of people would not be able to participate at Arbaeen in the holy city of Karbala in recent years.
The first sparks of Islamic Revolution were also essentially lit in Muharram and inspired by teachings of Ashura movement. The uprising of 5 June 1963, a milestone in the history of Islamic Revolution, was occurred subsequent to Imam Khomeini’s speech on the afternoon of Ashura.
