Shafaqna English– “Dr Ahmad Mirza” is an American physician who volunteered to treat Arbaeen pilgrims of Imam Hussein (AS) in Karbala Ma’ali.
According to Shafaqna, Noon News Agency wrote: Dr Ahmad Mirza was born in America, studied there and worked in its hospitals. Now he has come to Karbala with some of his friends to voluntarily treat the Arbaeen pilgrims of Imam Hussain (AS).
In an interview with Noon News Agency, this American physician says: I swear that Arbaeen is the largest human gathering in the world and it is truly a miracle.
Mirza continues: I had the concern of serving the pilgrims during the Arbaeen days for a long time. My friends and I are general practitioners and we are working in American hospitals. Here, together with my friends, we have started a clinic and treat pilgrims.
He continues: In 2009, i.e. fifteen years ago, I came to Iraq with my family and made a pilgrimage to the holy shrines. This is the first time I participate in serving pilgrims. I visit about two hundred patients daily and all cases that I have treated so far have been normal and there have been no contagious disease.
Mirza describes some scenes of the Arbaeen pilgrimage that has observed while participating in this ceremony and says: what has mostly surprised me in Karbala is that everyone likes to serve the pilgrims in any possible way. I have already traveled to several countries and attended in numerous festivals and human gatherings, but none of them have been like Arbaeen. Arbaeen is the greatest human gathering in the world.
This American physician continues: If we compare Arbaeen with Hajj in the holy lands, we will see that there is a population that does not exceed three million pilgrims and each pilgrim pays for everything, while here more than twenty-two million people go to Karbala on foot. They eat and drink without paying, and this is truly a miracle from God. He emphasized: All my American friends have been surprised by the scenes in Arbaeen.
