Why This Mission Matters

During Arbaeen, many zawaar need medical help but may not have easy access to timely care. IMI’s Arbaeen Medical Mission helps fill this gap by providing free medical services close to where pilgrims are walking, resting, and gathering.

Our teams work to support common and urgent needs, including dehydration, heat-related illness, infections, wounds, blisters, burns, chronic disease concerns, cardiac symptoms, respiratory illness, dental problems, eye complaints, and other medical conditions.

The mission also helps reduce pressure on local hospitals and health services by treating many patients directly at the medical camp and supporting urgent cases when needed.

Your donation helps turn care into action: medicines given, wounds treated, emergencies assessed, tests performed, patients stabilized, and zawaar served with dignity.

A Mission of Service, Medicine, and Training

IMI’s Arbaeen Medical Mission is not only a medical camp. It is also a training and capacity-building mission.

Through this work, IMI helps provide hands-on learning, clinical mentorship, emergency response training, and practical teaching for students, volunteers, Ataba staff, and healthcare team members.

Your donation supports both immediate care for patients and the long-term strengthening of healthcare service during Arbaeen.

Khums and Religious Giving

Khums / Sehme Imam Giving: IMI has permission, ijaza, from many maraji for khums. IMI also has ijaza to use 100% of Sehme Imam khums for the Arbaeen Medical Mission.

Donors who wish to give khums, Sehme Imam, sadaqa, or general donations toward this mission may do so according to their intention and religious guidance.
