SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES : Despite the many uprisings in human history, the revolution of Imam Hussein and his companions is a key example of the Islamic revivalism that has retained its distinct characteristics and reformist features throughout the ages. The philosophy of millions marching to Karbala every year is in commemoration of Ashura Day. In addition to reflecting humanity's thirst for freedom and the populations outrage against social injustice, oppression and tyranny, it also represents the spiritual and practical aspects of love and loyalty to the Master of Martyrs who through his pure blood and the sacrifices of his beloved ones, revived the true spirit of Islam. METHOD AND FINDING : This idea of pilgrims visiting Imam Hussein's sanctified physical shrine has been extensively covered in anthropological and social studies. It has also prompted international observers to closely monitor this series of events which are not present at such a massive scale in other parts of the world. Despite the fact that this visit is regarded as the largest mass gathering on a global magnitude, we find that some are attempting in various ways to oppose these great religious rituals and wipe away the message of this visit in all its dimensions. For example, some secularism has criticised the march to Imam Hussein as they believe it disrupts society and imprisons many people's lives. They also have the notion that civilization and growth are built on a foundation of materialistic means, with morality and spirituality views having no place in this society. Also tend to notice that the International media purposefully seeks to ignore these annual visits and this global event, with them seeking to cover and spotlight every news story in various fields and different regions of the world, no matter how minor it may seem. CONCLUSION : It is necessary for all of us, in our respective capacities, to spread the message: ‘Who is Hussain?’, to globalise this religious and social event as one of the most important occurrences in the world while also working on the cultural building and reconstruction of modern Islamic civilization as well as to research the various aspects of this great human and peaceful review centred on the Arbaeen Pilgrimage.

SUBJECT AND OBJECTIVES : The United Nations, has turned its process of sexual education into a model of globalization of family values and culture. There is an attempt to impose a system that forces its interests and political system on the entire world. For example, in the United Kingdom, all primary-aged children are required to learn about relationships and sex education (RSE), including topics around homosexuality. Another example is France, has obligatory sexual education discussions in all public schools whilst also banning wearing headscarf. METHOD AND FINDING : The uncertainty and contradiction that arose in western circles over the issue of sexual education resulted in a moral struggle over the nature of the sexual education curriculum, its contents, who is learning it, who is providing it, and the right age to present topics. On the other hand, the clash of religious beliefs with the new educational system in the west has sparked a fierce backlash among faith-based groups, because western sexual education is based on principles and foundations that are contrary to Islamic teachings. Role or importance towards religious education leading to the question: What is the purpose of sex education, and is religions an impediment? Leads to the finding that religion paves the way for science, and this is the function of sex education based on religious teachings in the pure life of modern man. CONCLUSION : There is no religious prohibition against parents or educators directing and raising a child sexually as a scientific subject, if the education takes place in a calm and purposeful manner, away from the excitement of some methods of application and embodiment, and in an atmosphere of mixing males and females as in western societies. As a result, are left with sexual delight rather than sex education.

The difference between how people view atheism varies in the world, in the west, Atheism is seen to be a normalised topic which is accepted by many people whereas in the East, heavily criticised. The openness in western societies with the spread of free secular materialistic thought occurred after the Enlightenment period, has pushed people towards the concept of atheism, especially in the younger generation. On the other hand, the East has much harsher rules when dealing with the influx of atheism where some countries believe death by execution is the solution. This pushed them to westernised way of thought where they began to fight Islamic beliefs, and of course under the support and protection of western regimes that they used as tools against Islam, many managed to flee their countries and go to the west as they consider that religion restricts and prevent them from achieving their goals, while atheism makes them free from all values and allows the achievement of freedom, without any restrictions. From here we see that the spread of Atheism in the Muslim countries stems from western atheism. It is thought that the increase of East atheism is due to cultural, intellectual, educational, psychological, political, social, and religious reasons and it is our duty as Muslims to find out why this is and how to solve it from the concept of Islamic beliefs the same way Imam Sadiq would by adopting a logical concept to convince the atheists during their theological debates and arguments. Due to their lack of evidence, it was not long before their theories were being disproved with one example being from the famous British philosopher Anthony flew was a strong advocator for atheism wrote a book called “Thereis a God” in the later days of his life.

The manifestation of the Essence of God in the point of view of Ibn Arabi and Meister Eckhart is considered one of the most important and fundamental ideas on which the other mystical questions depend on. Ibn Arabi regards this matter in the way that it represents the Essence of God, namely the manifestation of the Essence of God and other worlds is because of His hiddenness in these worlds which is resulted from the Breath of the Merciful (the complete divine manifestation). Meister Eckhart also regards this matter as the truth of everything and originates from the divine perception of Himself, and this perception flows to all things by which the Essence of God manifested in the whole things including human, soul and the light. The Essence of God is the Love who penetrates the whole attracting things to Him. So the manifestation and hiddenness in the two mystics' views is the proof of the two verses (He is the First, the Last, the Manifest, and the Unseen and He knows all things), and We are closer to him than even his jugular vein. This manifestation and hiddenness don’t just concern  the worlds and beings, but includes the visible world, the world of unveiling matters relating to the unseen, the stations, and states. Mystics and holy travellers stated the secret of this manifestation and hiddenness of the Essence of God, namely, the full orientation towards the Essence of God, this approach gives an expansion of readiness to the mystic and holy traveller to enable him to receive and reflect the divine perfection more and more; for that they recommend the importance to protect this hiddenness and continuing its manifestation.
