'''Karbala''' is a city in [[Iraq]], located beside the [[Euphrates River]] and 104 kilometers from [[Baghdad]]. As the capital of Karbala Province, the city has a hot and dry climate and a population of over 1.2 million people, most of whom are Shia and Arabic-speaking.

Karbala was known before Islam by names such as “Kur Babel” (Temple of God), but its worldwide fame is due to the event of [[Ashura]] and the presence of the shrine of Imam Hussain (AS) and the shrine of Hazrat Abbas (AS).

In addition to the holy shrines, the city has numerous pilgrimage sites such as the Tent Area (Khaymegah), the space between the two shrines (Bayn al-Haramayn), and the site of martyrdom (Qatl-gah), and during Arbaeen it hosts millions of pilgrims from around the world.

Throughout history, Karbala has witnessed many ups and downs, including attacks by the Wahhabis, the Ottomans, and the Ba'ath regime of Iraq, yet it has always remained a symbol of resistance and love for the Ahl al-Bayt (AS).
