About Us

Helping people understand Arbaeen and prepare for the journey to Karbala.

Why this site exists

What Is Arbaeen exists to make the message and journey of Arbaeen easier to understand. We share clear educational resources, practical guidance, pilgrim stories, and community updates for those who want to learn about Imam Hussain (AS) and the walk to Karbala.

Our aim is simple: help people approach Arbaeen with knowledge, respect, preparation, and love.

What we are building

  • A free, trustworthy guide for first-time and returning pilgrims
  • The Mawakib Line — an index of 822+ recorded camps along the Najaf–Karbala route
  • The Mawakib App — a directory, registration, and volunteering platform for camps and pilgrims
  • A volunteer network of translators, guides, medics, writers, and developers

Who this is for

First-time pilgrims. Families planning the journey together. Younger Muslims who have heard about Arbaeen but need an accessible explanation. Non-Muslims, media, schools, and interfaith groups curious about one of the world's largest peaceful gatherings. Volunteers, group leaders, and community organisers who make the journey possible.

Work with us

This project grows through service — exactly like the road it describes. If you can write, translate, code, design, verify camp data, or guide first-time pilgrims, we would love to hear from you.
