Zeitoon Institute

یا لَیتَنا کنا مَعَک

We have gathered together to support Hussain Ibn Ali although time has parted us. Our purpose is to keep Hussain’s heritage and to introduce him to the world and our goal is to make a day in which people all over the world know him. This goal will not be achieved unless the unique features which are necessary in any international activity are present.

The features of Zeitoon

Being non-governmental

Zeitoon institute is a non-governmental organization and its activities are done and supported by the ones who love Sayyid al-Shuhada all over the world. Not being dependent on different groups and moves is only possible through relying on people’s financial and spiritual help.

Independent

In our opinion, independence means not to be affected by external forces’ demands while making strategic decisions. Based on this opinion, obeying the countries’ laws, accepting governmental and non-governmental support, communicating and cooperating with people and different organizations are not contrary to independence.

Being up-to-date

Knowing the contemporary world and using up-to-date methods and tools to keep and expand the cultural and religious heritage are among the necessities in any era. Using management skills, social sciences and humanities as well as up-to-date technology make us noticeable among our rivals.
