The gathering brought together worshippers, families, community leaders, and religious scholars to honour Imam Hussain ibn Ali (AS), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), whose martyrdom at the Battle of Karbala remains a symbol of sacrifice, justice, and resistance against oppression.
Muslims in Accra joined millions around the world in marking Arbaeen, observed forty days after Ashura, with prayers, sermons, and reflections on values such as courage, compassion, and commitment to justice.
The occasion also carried messages of resistance and perseverance, with participants remembering the recent martyrdom of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as part of a wider narrative of sacrifice and resistance within the Shia tradition.
For many participants, Arbaeen was an opportunity to strengthen community bonds and renew their commitment to faith, justice, and unity.
