Salamun Alaykum Warahmatullah, 

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي- “Fāṭimah is a part of me.” (Rasulullah SAWW)

During the solemn days of Ayyam-e-Faṭimiyyah, NASIMCO extends its heartfelt condolences to our Imam of the Time (AJTF) and the entire Muslim Ummah on the martyrdom of Sayyida Faṭimah al-Zahra (SA).

This edition highlights a busy, meaningful month for NASIMCO, from representing our community at events and coordinating virtual seminars to organizing programs across the region and fulfilling our responsibilities as a regional federation. Each initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to connecting, serving, and supporting the community.

We also highlight significant milestones from the World Federation’s 50th Anniversary commemorations, including the WF50 Sports Awards. Heartfelt congratulations to all the award winners and athletes who received regional recognition for their outstanding achievements and contributions to sport.

May the legacy of Sayyida Faṭimah al-Zahra (SA) continue to inspire sincerity, compassion, and dedication in our service, and may Allah (SWT) bless our community with unity, continued growth, and success.

EXPERIENCE ZIYARA

A Journey of Faith. A Lifetime of Memories.

November 20–29, 2026

NASIMCO is excited to partner with The Mainstay Foundation to offer an unforgettable Ziyara experience to the sacred shrines of Iraq.

For the first time, NASIMCO is bringing you a fully guided Ziyara journey—created with our communities, youth, families, and first-time Zawwar in mind.

Visit the sacred cities of Najaf, Karbala, Kadhimiyah, and Samarra, while learning about the lives, sacrifices, and legacies of the Ahlul Bayt (a).

A Ziyara Experience Designed for You

Whether this is your first Ziyara or you're returning to the holy shrines, this journey is designed to help you get more from the experience.

You will be accompanied throughout the trip by:

English-speaking group leaders

Knowledgeable scholars and guides

A supportive NASIMCO community

Guided visits to the major holy sites

Opportunities for learning, reflection, and spiritual connection

A welcoming environment particularly suited for youth and first-time Zawwar

Walk in the Footsteps of the Ahlul Bayt (a)

NAJAF

Shrine of Imam Ali (a)

KARBALA

Shrines of Imam Husayn (a) & Al-Abbas (a)

KADHIMIYAH

Shrines of Imam al-Kadhim (a) & Imam al-Jawad (a)

SAMARRA

Shrines of Imam al-Hadi (a) & Imam al-Askari (a)

Ziyara is not simply about visiting sacred places. It is an opportunity to learn, reflect, connect with our faith, and create memories that stay with us for a lifetime.

For our youth, it can be a chance to experience the history and spirituality of the Ahlul Bayt (a) in a way that is engaging, meaningful, and shared with their peers.

For first-time Zawwar, it provides the comfort of 

knowing that you won't be navigating the journey alone.
