The Arabic version of the short Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI-Ar) is a valid and reliable tool for measuring mindfulness among Lebanese university students. In a cross-sectional study of 363 students, the scale showed excellent internal consistency and a satisfactory one-factor structure. Higher mindfulness scores were moderately associated with lower depression and anxiety, supporting the scale's validity. Professionals can now use the FMI-Ar to assess mindfulness in Arabic-speaking populations.
