About Us
It is He who has made you guardians on the Earth.
Surah Al-An’am, 6:165
The Story Behind Our Movement
In 2018, witnessing the River Furaat choked with single-use plastic left behind by millions of Arbaeen pilgrims, Karachi-based environmentalist Zahra Ali Syed founded The Green Pilgrim, a faith-rooted movement to protect the sacred land of Imam Hussain (a) through Islamic environmental ethics, community action, and policy change across Najaf, Karbala and beyond. Today our volunteers are making their communities plastic-free to prepare for Sustainable Arabeen.
Our Impact
Six years of on-the-ground action across the globe, rooted in love of Imam Hussain (a), driven by community, for a bigger goal of Sustainable Arabeen
