The fortieth day after death has special importance for the family of the deceased, as they extend their kindness to him and count his merits by holding a memorial council held to commemorate his memory and pray for his soul. Taking care of this occasion is an Arab-Islamic custom linked to the importance of the number (forty) and its sanctity. The beginning of this custom did not occur with the advent of Islam, nor was its celebration limited to Islam.
It is an ancient custom that was practiced in other religions such as Christianity, Judaism, and ancient civilizations such as the Sumerian, Babylonian, and Pharaonic. Mourning the dead for forty days is a familiar method and custom passed down among people. On the fortieth day of his death, the family of the deceased holds a memorial service at his grave, attended by his relatives, family, and friends. Forty in ancient civilizations.
Anthropological studies indicate that this custom dates back to prehistoric times, but its percentage differed.

It was also said that this custom goes back to the Sumerians and Babylonians, as they believed that the spirit of the dead person remained among his family and roamed around his house for forty days, then departed from him permanently.
This belief attributed the reason for its survival to the fact that it remained in order to be compensated by the god Enlil - the god of rain - who is ranked in the order of greatness among them. After (Anu), the god of the sky, their belief comes as a result of natural factors.

On these (blessed) days, which are his favorite days, which the Iraqis call “Al-Murabba’aniyya,” the Sumerians and Babylonians considered them sacred days, where after forty days the family of the dead person distributes food and holds banquets for the soul of the dead person.
This belief that the soul of the dead person roams around his house for forty days is still prevalent among some people. In Iraq, especially in the central region.

Forty of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) The specificity of performing the Hussein rituals comes on the fortieth day of Imam Hussein ( peace be upon him). (peace be upon him) coincidentally on the twentieth of Safar, as it constitutes a revival of his reformist renaissance, his moral teachings, and his prophetic principles.
The cause of the Master of the Martyrs was what distinguished between the call to truth and falsehood. Had it not been for the renaissance of Al-Hussein and his stand against the injustice and Umayyad tyranny, Islam would have almost disappeared, to the point that it was said: Islam is Mohammedan in existence and Hussein in survival. What Imam Hussein did in his reformist renaissance was an extension of the Messenger’s call to spread Islam, and he (peace be upon him) was the natural extension of the Prophet (may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family) according to the text of the Messenger’s hadith: Hussein is from me and I am from Hussein.
Its specificity also comes to recall the tragedy that befell the Ahl al-Bayt on the day of Ashura and the tragedies and pain that accompanied it, and to make people aware of the injustice of the Umayyads and their henchmen. The holding of the Husseini rituals on the fortieth day also coincides with the anniversary of the return of the noble head from the Levant to Iraq, and its burial with the pure body on the twentieth of Safar, as stated in the narratives. This day is called in Iraq ((the return of the head)), so the rituals are held in remembrance of this painful incident and are renewed. Sorrows. The visit... rituals and statistics. Since Imam Zain Al-Abidin (peace be upon him) met in Karbala with the great companion Jaber bin Abdullah Al-Ansari, Karbala has become a destination for visitors on the twentieth of Safar - the fortieth day of Imam Hussein - as millions of Muslims from many Arab and Islamic countries come to visit it.
In addition to the governorates of Iraq. Visitors began to increase year after year, and statistics indicate that the number of visitors on the Arbaeen Day of the year (1968) amounted to more than half a million visitors, and their number rose at the beginning of the seventies to about one million visitors until the authorities of the defunct Baath regime began futile attempts to prevent visitors from performing the Arbaeen Visit for fear of... Resentment and anticipation of revolution against injustice and tyranny.
Due to these oppressive and arbitrary measures, thousands of believers were martyred, imprisoned, and tortured at the hands of the cronies of the dictator Saddam’s regime. But after the winds of change that blew in Iraq and the end of the Saddam dictatorship, the way was made for Muslims to visit Imam Hussein until the numbers of visitors reached ( During the Arbaeen visit during the years following 2003, more than five million visitors, while some media outlets estimated the number of visitors at eight million visitors, most of whom came from various cities in Iraq as well as from Arab and Islamic countries, especially from Iran, Lebanon, India, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
During the holding of the Husseini rituals on the fortieth day in Karbala, the number of Husseini processions sometimes reaches two thousand, distributed among the procession headquarters, Husseiniyas, and mosques, as well as hotels, cafes, and restaurants, so that thousands of visitors are forced to spend the night of the fortieth visit in the two holy shrines of Hussein and Abbas, in addition to sleeping in the streets and alleys.
Some convoys arriving to Karbala are also forced to set up tents outside the city or on its outskirts and organize their affairs to provide sleep, food and drink for their members and visiting guests. During the funeral processions in Karbala, members of the processions exchange visits among themselves to get to know each other, provide services to each other, and listen to the speeches and poems that are performed on this occasion, which express their pride in the sacrifices of Imam Hussein and his brother Abbas for the sake of Islam, and their love and dedication to serving the visitors.
