In [[Shia Islam]], '''Arba'in''' ({{lang-ar|الأربعين||lit=fortieth}}) marks forty days after [[Day of Ashura|Ashura]], which is the martyrdom anniversary of [[Husayn ibn Ali]], grandson of the [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Islamic prophet]] [[Muhammad
Arba'in coincides with the twentieth of [[Safar]], the second month of the [[Islamic calendar]], and its commemoration is rooted in early Islamic funerary traditions. Shia Muslims annually observe the day through mourning gatherings, dramatic reenactments of Karbala narratives, and charitable acts. Arba'in is also a day of [[Arba'een Pilgrimage|pilgrimage]] to the [[Imam Husayn Shrine|shrine of Husayn]] in [[Karbala]], [[Iraq]]. Pilgrims arrive there in large numbers, often on foot, and many from the city of [[Najaf]], some eighty kilometers away, home to the [[Imam Ali Shrine|shrine]] of [[Ali|Ali ibn Abi Talib]], the first Shia imam. The Arba'in pilgrimage, banned under the Iraqi president [[Saddam Hussein]], has grown after his deposal in 2003 from two million participants in that year to around twenty million in 2014. As with Ashura, Arba'in can be an occasion for [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] violence against Shia Muslims.
