Faize Husaini · Kenya

From Kenya to the zareeh mubarak of Imam Husain AS

Every mumin carries one wish: to stand at the zareeh of Imam Husain AS in Karbala Mu'alla, to weep there, and to return with a heart made new. For generations Faize Husaini Kenya has carried the mumineen of Nairobi and Mombasa to that door — with the raza and barakat of Aqa Moula TUS.

Faiz-e-Husaini

The faiz of Imam Husain AS, carried from Kenya

Faize Husaini exists for one purpose: that no mumin of Kenya is left without the ziyarat of Imam Husain AS. Aqa Moula TUS reminds us that weeping upon Imam Husain AS is the truest istighfar, and that at the door of Imam Husain AS hearts find kushaadgi. In Kenya our committee takes every qafila end to end — raza, visas, flights, hostels, niyaz and sabak — so that families travel together and reach the zareeh mubarak together.

Niyat

Begin with a niyat

Qafilas are announced only after raza, and no package is listed until it is confirmed. Until then, make your niyat for the ziyarat of Imam Husain AS — or of any mazaar — and Faize Husaini will call you first when the qafila is formed. One form, one niyat, one door.

Rooted in Kenya

Two centuries on this coast, one qafila

Dawoodi Bohra mumineen have lived on the Kenyan coast for more than two hundred years, and Nairobi is now home to over seven hundred families. Harambee — pulling together — is how every Faize Husaini safar is run: volunteers from both jamaats carry the luggage, lead the sabak, cook the niyaz and sit with the elderly at the zareeh.
