The Arbaeen walk has long turned into a major Shii religious ceremony and ritual in the world. Based on Emile Durkheim's functionalism, this walk takes shape through joining millions of people from various nations and countries. Discipline and peaceful coexistence are two main features of this great walk. More than merely a simple ritual, the Arbaeen walk manifests international integrity and convergence, with dissemination of major human and religious values.

5. Findings The Arbaeen walk, as one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, plays an important role in creating solidarity among different individuals and groups.
From the perspective of Durkheimian functionalism, the Arbaeen walk is a multidimensional phenomenon that plays an effective role in the areas of cohesion-building, discipline-building, life-giving, and happiness-giving.
In this research, we examined the social functions of the Arbaeen walk from four perspectives: cohesion-building, discipline-building, happiness-giving, and life-giving.
