Abstract

In Shia culture, Hosseini's Arbaeen Pilgrimage is considered one of the divine values that focuses on promoting self-prosperity and the prosperity of social capital. This great spiritual ceremony has various social and legal functions, and studying it can redefine and reveal the functions of social capital. In this research, we examine the achievements of this important religious event by considering the dimensions of social capital. The study's practical and documentary method involves describing the content of the sources and texts collected through field and library methods to identify and introduce the various aspects of the Arbaeen procession and the legal and social aspects of this ceremony. Using existing evidence and facts, we examine this great social event from the perspective of social capital and explore its social and legal functions. Our research findings reveal that the Arbaeen ceremony has significant social-legal effects and consequences, including promoting unity, strengthening social capital, increasing the spirit of resistance, building social trust, fostering a culture of giving, reducing crime, enforcing the rule of law, aiding international peace and security, and promoting international criminal law. By investigating the social and legal dimensions of the Arbaeen procession, this research provides insights into the potential of religious events in promoting social capital and contributing to a more peaceful and just society.
