Support the Mission

Keep the road open for the next pilgrim.

Everything on whatisarbaeen.org is free — the guides, the index, and the app we are building. Your gift keeps it that way, and helps it grow.

Many hands holding a painted heart together

Where your donation goes

Four concrete things — nothing vague, nothing hidden.

Spreading the message

The foundation of the cause: free guides, translations, and outreach that help the world — especially those hearing of for the first time — understand and why millions walk.

A stall serving pilgrims

Food and refreshments offered free in the days leading up to Arbaeen — our own on the road, serving the visitors of Imam Hussain (AS) in your name.

Pilgrim ID cards

Printed registration cards for pilgrims who sign up with us — name, group, and emergency contact on one card. A small thing that matters enormously when someone is separated on a road of millions.

The Mawakib App

Building the free app that indexes every camp on the route — so 20 million pilgrims can find the people serving them.

Our promise — amanah: a clean, trustworthy brand everyone can rely on. We publish what comes in and where it goes, every season. Donations are general sadaqah; nothing is hidden, exaggerated, or spent outside the four purposes above.
