Our Objective
"We aim to please Imam Al Hujjah (ATF) by providing quality,
affordable accommodation for the Zaireen visiting the shrines of
his Noble Ancestors (AS) so that the Zaireen may comfortably
focus on spirituality and worship during their pilgrimage"

An Introduction to Anjuman e Faiz e Panjetani
An Introduction to Anjuman e Faiz e Panjetani
Anjuman e Faiz e Panjetani (A.F.P) was formed over
a century ago, in 1912, for the purpose of rendering help
and ameliorating the condition of pilgrims going for
Ziarat & Haj
After 10 years of constant follow up, Alhamdulillah, all
the Pilgrim Residences located in Kazmain, Najaf and
Karbala have been registered in the name of A.F.P. in the
Land Records.
The organization aimed to help Zaireen perform their
pilgrimage with comfort and ease. One of the ways in
which the Faiz achieved this goal was by setting up
Pilgrim Residences in Iraq at Kazmain, Karbala, Najaf
and Basrah. These Pilgrim Residences were managed by
the Jetha Gokal Family. In 1968, Shaheed Abdul Hussain
Jetha Gokal, chairman of A.F.P. Trust in Iraq, was
martyred. The then Government of Iraq confiscated the
moveable and immoveable properties of A.F.P. in Iraq and
suspended the activities of the Faiz in Iraq.
We are glad to advise that the Government of the
Republic of Iraq - General Secretariat for the Council
of Ministers, NGO’s Directorate, have confirmed the
Registration of Anjuman e Faiz e Panjetani as an NGO
in Iraq under Serial No.2176626 Registration Certificate
Ref. No.1858 dated 30/12/2013, to carry on its day to day
activities in the territory of the Republic of Iraq.
The new Government of Iraq constituted a committee
in 2004 to look into all such issues of Auqaf properties
illegally seized by the previous Iraqi Regime. The
President and Vice President of the A.F.P. along with
their team made several visits to Iraq and represented
the case of the A.F.P. to the Prime Minister of Iraq and
the judiciary.

The Concept
Karbala is a vibrant religious centre that attracts millions
of pilgrims every year. The number of visitors to the Holy
City of Karbala is increasing significantly every year.
However, years of strife have left a huge dent on the
city’s facilities and its ability to cater efficiently to these
pilgrims. It is difficult to find affordable, comfortable
accommodation during the high season (Muharram,
Safar), without spending exorbitant sums of money.
An Introduction to the Project
During the brutal regime of Saddam Hussain, these
facilities were forcibly confiscated in 1968/69. After much
effort the A.F.P. properties have now been reinstated.
We have now been given the opportunity to revive
this noble cause, and provide comfortable and modern
accommodation to Zaireen, at an affordable rate.

An Introduction to the Project
“The project will provide
pilgrims with a modern, clean
and secure ‘home away from
home’ facility to enable them
to carry out their religious
activities in comfort and with
peace of mind”
9
The Inspiration
The accommodation at any Ziyarat location plays a very
important role for the Zaireen. It should provide the
Zaireen with the peace of mind that is needed to help them
focus on their Ziyarat and on spirituality.
However, as is often seen, a lot of the accommodation
in the pilgrimage cities of Iraq do not meet these
requirements. The A.F.P. Karbala project aims to create a
facility that addresses this issue.
Why Build a Pilgrim Residence?
These considerations include:
It is a question that we have often been asked: “Why build
a separate facility when there are already a lot of hotels
that exist in Karbala?”
• In-house laundry, dining, library and shop facilities
• Energy efficient heating and cooling systems
(to save electrical costs)
• Clean drinking water within the building
• Wheelchair accessible toilets and rooms
• High quality fixtures throughout the building
• Low maintenance surface treatments and features
throughout the building
The reasons behind the motivation for building the
Al Qasr Residence are simple:
• The hotels close to the Haramain do not have the
facilities that we propose to offer, and the ones that
are new and ‘modern’ are generally located far from
the Haramain.
The project does not aim to provide an over-thetop, luxurious experience. The aim of this project is
simply to provide all visitors with comfortable, modern
accommodation that is designed to international
standards in close proximity to the Haramain
• Zaireen to Karbala and other religious sites often
have to pay exorbitant and often unaffordable rates
for hotels during peak season.
Special care and thought has been put into all steps
of the design and planning process to achieve these
objectives while maintaining the affordability of the
accommodation.

The Proposal
Current hotels in Karbala that are close to the Haram, are
very basic, and the ones that provide an acceptable level of
comfort (generally quite far from the Haram) charge very
high rates especially during peak season.
The A.F.P. proposes to build and manage a Basement
+ Ground + Mezzanine + 12 upper floors Residence
building on the plot.
This facility will cater to the needs of Zaireen by
providing modern, comfortable and affordable
accommodation for individuals and families, within
walking distance from the Haramain in Karbala.
The Proposal
“The project aims to incorporate
the best in terms of construction
and building practices,
sustainability green building
codes and RO purified water
throughout the facility.”
The Al Qasr Residence building will provide around 129
rooms including family rooms that would allow Zaireen
to perform Ziarat with total peace of mind.
The facility will also incorporate features such as a coffee
shop on the mezzanine floor, as well as a convenience
store on the ground level.

“For every Dinar that a person spends in serving the Zawwar of Imam Hussain (AS)
the rewards from Allah (SWT) are larger than the mountains of Uhud. Allah (SWT) will
reward him with multiples of what he spends and will protect him from calamities, and
will protect him and his wealth and family”
