The World Federation of KSIMC

If one of our Shia goes for Imam Husayn (as)’s Ziyarat, then he will not return but all his sins will be forgiven. For every step that he or his mount takes, 1,000 virtues are written for him, 1,000 sins are forgiven and his status is elevated by a 1,000 degrees.' (Bihar al-Anwar, volume 101;  Kamil al-Ziyaraat)

If  you have been blessed with the opportunity to go to Iraq this Arba’een and are doing the walk from Najaf to  Karbala, why not help fundraise for the poor and needy at the same time?

You could also spend some time volunteering at our Mawkib (out-post).

Fundraising for the poor and needy

Imam Husayn (as) has said ‘Beware that the need of people to you is among the blessings of God to you. So do not scare away the needy people when they come to you, as God’s blessings will return and go elsewhere.' (Bihar al- Anwar, volume 78)

This year The World Federation has teamed up with the Najaf to Karbala (N2K) Walk team to fundraise for a community upliftment project in Kenya.
 
This project will provide the Wajir and Garissa regions much needed access to water wells and seed support for farming in order to sustain the community living there in extreme poverty and drought.

We would love to have you as part of The World Federation team and raise funds for this much needed project.

Volunteering at our mawkib

This year, The World Federation is pleased to announce that it has established an out-post (known in Arabic as a ‘mawkib’) on the Najaf to Karbala walk route.. The out-post will be located at position number 1086.
 
More information can be found in our earlier newswire article 

If you wish to partake in this honour, The World Federation would like to offer all community members who are undertaking the walk, or will be in Iraq at the time, to come and volunteer their services at the out-post. This is an excellent opportunity to serve the pilgrims of Imam Husayn (as) and earn immense thawab, whilst partaking in an unforgettable experience. In particular, The World Federation appeals to individuals who are trained in medical fields to assist with services.
