Abu Rayhan Al Biruni and the pilgrimage of Arbaeen
Biruni is regarded as one of the greatest scholars of the medieval Islamic era about a thousand years ago.
As an Iranian polymath scholar, he was well versed in physics, mathematics, astronomy, natural sciences and history.
He is known as the "unbiased writer" among the other countries scholars.
“The Remaining Signs of Past Centuries” is one of his early publications. This book is a comparative study of calendars of different cultures and civilizations.
Also, this book includes mathematical, astronomical, and historical information followed by exploring the customs and religions of different cultures.
In this book, Biruni says:
"On the 20th day of the month of Safar, the head of Hussein (AS) returned to where his body and was buried and buried there as well.
The pilgrimage of Arbaeen originated from that day.
This was done by 40 people of Hussein family who visited and prayed Hussein’s grave on their way while returning from Sham in current Syria”. Biruni explicitly referred to the "Arbaeen pilgrimage" in this book, which indicates the thousand years of history of the Arbaeen anniversary.
While, in public opinion, it was started by Iranians after falling of Saddam regime.
