Ziarate

What is Ziarate?

The literal meaning of Ziarat is "visit" and in other words: 1. to have a visit to the holy religious sight and 2. to read and express brief or detailed phrases to pay respect, bow, honor and greet the holy souls of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). ) and the innocents (peace be upon them) and those related to them from the descendants of the imams and martyrs in the way of the guardianship and love of the innocents, especially and the remembrance of the people of the graves, is generally referred to,
and in the second specific and idiomatic sense, it refers to those expressions that are either by some imams and the innocents (peace be upon them) ) is composed and recorded in the correct way in the relevant books. Such as: Ashura Pilgrimage, which is the work of Imam Muhammad Baqir (peace be upon him), or the pilgrimage of Aminullah, which is the work of Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him), and many other pilgrimages, especially those for Hazrat Seyyed al-Shohada (peace be upon him) and Hazrat Amir (peace be upon him). It has been recorded in authentic books such as: Kafi wa Tahdhib and Man Lai Hazara al-Faqih, and the late Allamah Majlisi (may God bless him and grant him peace) with a complete investigation for the total number of pilgrimages that have been available up to the eleventh century, whether it is the proverbs of the innocent or otherwise, a volume of volumes. The book of Mustatab Bihar al-Anwar has been dedicated to it, and many pilgrimages have been composed by jurists, scholars, and writers, whose origin is stated in the relevant books in each case.

Pilgrimage of the great community
The pilgrimage of the community, which is perhaps the most detailed pilgrimage, is called (the community) because it can be used to visit the innocents (peace be upon them) in general. That is, he recited in the Holy Prophet's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) mosque, in Najaf Ashraf, in Karbala, and in holy Mashhad individually, or collectively in Baqi', Kazimin, or Samarra.
The oldest source of this noble pilgrimage is the book Mustatab Man Lai Hazara Al-Faqih by Sheikh Sadouq (Ibn Babouyeh) (Rizwan may Allah be pleased with him), which he quoted in his authentic documents from Imam Hadi (peace be upon him) and then by Sheikh Al-Taifah Tusi (Rizwan). Allah Ta'ala alaihi) records it in the book of Mustatab Tahdhib al-Ahkam, quoting from Ibn Babuyya.
Pilgrimage of the community is the work of Hazrat Imam Hadi (peace be upon him). It is said that some of its verses can be seen in other pilgrimages as well. Therefore, there is no doubt about the authenticity and sanctity of this pilgrimage. Because all of it is without any difference in two books of the four books of the principles and branches of Shia Imami Jafari Eznaashari, and this issue is a sign of the greatness, importance and comprehensiveness of this pilgrimage, and basically the eloquence of the words and the eloquence of the meanings and themes of this pilgrimage of Jalil al-Qadr testifies that Certainly, it was issued from the blessed tongue of the trustees of divine revelation and the real attack of the Qur'an (peace be upon them) and what was said about the words of Hazrat Mouli Al-Mawali Ali Mortaza (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that: the creator and beyond the words of the created) is also true about this pilgrimage of the community.

This pilgrimage contains all the fundamental beliefs of Twelver Shiism, which the pilgrim presents to his devotees and imams (peace be upon him) in complete purity and submission, and he asks the Almighty God to make him firm and firm on these beliefs. keep him and always be a witness to the oneness of God, the one incomparable oneness, the prophethood of the divine prophets, the finality of Hazrat Khatami, the status of Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him and his family), the truth of the Resurrection and the Day of Resurrection, and the justice of the Almighty, and the imamate and guardianship of the twelve Shiite Imams. And the end of the guardianship and guardianship of the blessed and holy guardian of the age (may Allah speed him up) when the Imam is absent and upon the appearance and definite return (=faraj) of that noble one and the publication of that appearance and also the declaration of submission and obedience to the fourteen innocents. (peace be upon them) and their guardians, and true and intimate friendship and attachment to them, and also on the innocence and hatred of the enemies and usurpers of the rights of the family of Muhammad (peace be upon them), that: (This is a gift to take the cousin from house to house).
In the beginning of this pilgrimage and before reciting the text of the pilgrimage, the pilgrim must recite the words of Tayyabat Shahadat and 100 times (Allahu Akbar).
The text of this pilgrimage is also decorated with about 150 words of majesty (Allah),
then with greetings and salutations that contain the inherent qualities of the innocents (peace be upon them) and in the interpretation of that beautiful mystical poem that:
Our words are shatti wa husnuk wa ahd
wa kul ili zaak al-jamal Yoshir
, although its words and expressions are praiseworthy and honorable and have different attributes, but the meanings of all of them refer to the sanctity, purity, and perfection of those perfect human beings and people who are pure and clean and adorned and adorned and indicate the truth (innocuous), their spiritual pride in its presence. He brings the innocent or the innocent to their honor and thanks to their grace and care, hoping to receive an answer to his greetings, which may be the presence of the pilgrim's heart and his continued recitation of the pilgrimage, God willing, is a sign of the answer to the greeting. Virtues and virtues that God Almighty has made them proud and special and knows them (straight path) to reach the position of humility and submission which is the first means of knowing God and the necessity of servitude and servitude to the Almighty.
Then, with a respectful and honest conversation - and I would say romantically - with the pure and holy souls of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the innocents (peace be upon them all), he finds a spiritual and direct connection, and it is truly like a passionate and restless love, and at the same time Now, the humble one expresses the extremes of love and the utmost submission and humbleness, his longing and desire, and the hope that those great lovers and high-ranking loved ones - who all mean a single light - will say a brief tribute to him and cast a glance at him and a ray of spiritual light. that they are privileged and special to him and give him help and support in the way of attaining the knowledge of God's blessings and doing good deeds and avoiding wrongful and unworthy thoughts and actions and serving the people of God May His grace guide him to the straight path and not deprive him of the true knowledge of those innocents in this world, and in the next world of their intercession and steadfastness in reaching eternal peace and comfort.
What is repeated and affirmed more than anything else during this noble pilgrimage is the confession of the pilgrim's servitude and servitude to God, the Most Merciful. What is the servitude and servitude of a faithful and sincere pilgrim who recites and recites the pilgrimage and then expresses the virtues and blessings of those innocents (peace be upon them). And also acknowledging those virtues that the pilgrim considers what Hazrat Ali Hadi (peace be upon him) has taught him about it with complete sincerity in its language and meanings, and this matter is used throughout that pilgrimage in various words and expressions and with The same real or virtual meanings that the Imam (peace be upon him) willed are recounted, and just like that lost lover who always mentioned the name of his lover and said:
Because it is not possible for me to like her,
I make love with her name.
The pilgrim sweetens his palate by mentioning the names and attributes of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the other infallibles (peace be upon him) and at the end he shows them humility and respect, saying: O my lords and eternal beloveds:
"The whole world is full of The name, memory, memory, and sign of people, the tombs of the departed, and their covenants were, are, and will be, but for this servant who sacrificed his life for your high door and is infatuated with your loved one and your guardian, indeed your name is the sweetest and the sweetest and your memory is the most pleasant and The most joyful and your tombs are the most comforting, and your covenants are the most stable, and your promises are the truest and most correct names, memories, tombs, covenants, promises, and promises, and it is the unraveling of my hidden works in both palaces.
Your speech is enlightening and your command is a guide to goodness and happiness, and your instructions are all based on piety and fear of God, your character and character are on charity and improvement, and your nature is placed on freedom and magnanimity, and at all times your behavior and actions and on Truthfulness, tolerance, gentleness, and your speech, all of your knowledge and opinions are wise, far-sighted, and tolerant. You are undoubtedly the beginning and the foundation of any good thing that comes to mind.
My dear soul, this is the love and sincerity of my servant, the least of you, who led me to the right path and taught me the truth of religion, and it is this love that is the treasure of this world and the hereafter.
Imam Hadi (peace be upon him) to acquaint the Shiites with the incomparable position of closeness that the great and infallible prophets (peace be upon them) have to the greatness and holiness of God and their establishment and foundation in the creation with other creatures in the eternal world before the earth of humans. And the feeding of souls to the bodies of the worldly and before: ﴿KhalkAllah al-Rūmī qub al-Ebdhan balafi Alfi Aam﴾ They were created from the light and the light of Oneness, the light that is from the brilliance of the absolute light ﴿Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth﴾. Therefore, they are separate woven taffeta, and in the quality of the descent of those lights from the world of God, he teaches the Shiites to say:
"Lords of the worlds - Allah the Exalted - has created you lights and placed you on His throne so that you can worship and praise the Exalted. In order to bless people and grant them the blessing of knowing the greatness and grace of God. He made you manifest in human form in those houses that God has made great and exalted and exalted, so that you can be the medium of knowing Him and His infinite grace, and He will convey our greetings and greetings to you. He honored us with your love and friendship, and it is this love and friendship - Wilayat - that has become the source of purity, charity and good behavior for our servants, and we hope and wish that it will cover our sins and we thank and thank God that we He created in his eternal knowledge, your follower and soul-sacrificing and obedient.
Some of those who, based on the knowledge they have, consider themselves experts in all matters, but they do not have the necessary insight to believe in the authority of Imam Huda (peace be upon him), and they do not have the right to know the first prophets and the owners of the Sharia and the pure and innocent Imams (peace be upon them). ) are excused or deprived, and in Arabic literature and understanding the foundations, standards, and principles of rhetoric of that Quranic language, they lack brevity, omission, and metaphor, and they are unable to understand the meaning of the words and the context of the community's pilgrimage. - And Al-Ayaz Ballah - They carry the burden. I wish these few people, if they are not familiar with the basics of rhetoric in Arab literature, at least with the same holy hadiths that are in the books of mysticism and Sufism - that now the same people have made the contents of those books the capital of their fame, and from Masnavi al-Manavi and Diwan Shams of that noble and Diwan Hafez is being misused - it has been reported that they were visiting. According to the example of Hadith Qudsi:
﴿O Muhammad, those who are close to me will draw near to me, just as we perform the duties against them. And he is still getting closer to Al-Abd Balnawafl, even I loved him. So, if you love him, you will crush him audibly and visually, with a sign, and affirmatively. Without listening, without seeing, and without understanding.
Or another Qudsi hadith:
﴿If it weren't for the elders of the rak'ah, the shepherds of the khaza, the nursing children, and the cattle of the raat, you would not have made the sky alaikum.
O wonder of those who see the house of the eunuch of Shiraz, who
said: May the grace of the Holy Spirit help
others to do what the Messiah did,
and accept the turning of iron into gold in the hands of Shams of Tabriz, but from accepting such honors and facilities for Muhammad and his family. Muhammad (peace be upon him) hesitates. These claimants are forbidden from the presence or meeting of the audience of those saints of God; Because the hand of the right is on the chest of the infidel.
Allah, the Lord of the worlds, has given them insight, and by His grace, He has made those who love Muhammad and his family (may God bless them) 

Visiting Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, is an obligation from God Almighty

No doubt visiting Imam Hussain (AS) increases faith and morals. The tragic story of Karbala has treasures of knowledge and teachings of truth. The famous Arbaeen visit came from Imam Sadiq (AS) the phenomenon of this participating in this walk meaning the path towards the sanctuary of the saints of God - Exalted be He. Once reaching the Shrine of Imam Hussain (AS) the Ziyaraat should be read at their doorsteps and in their pure sights. Its meanings to visit Imam Al-Hussain peace be upon him, on the twentieth day of the month of Safar which is called  day of Arbaeen. This is 40 days after the 10th of Muharram which Imam Hussain and his companions were slaughtered on the land of Karbala hence the name Arbaeen meaning the fortieth. Arbaeen is a religious pilgrimage that commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (SLWAT), and his companions in the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD. It takes place 40 days after the day of Ashura, which marks the martyrdom of Imam Hussein. Arbaeen is primarily observed by Shia Muslims and is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world.​

 

Muharram. Ashura. The 10th Day. Hundreds of millions gather across the world to mark the eternal sacrifice of Imam Hussain (a), his family and companions in the hot sand-dunes of Karbala in the year 61AH. Undoubtedly, Ashura has truly inspired so many for centuries, and continues to be a great beacon of hope for those seeking to establish justice, freedom and a better world. Hussain (a) firmly remains one of the world’s most influential superpowers. He and his faithful family and companions who stood alone on the plains of Karbala, on the Day of Ashura, are today excellent role models for mankind. Muharram Majalis and gatherings of mourning are held to honor the principals and values of Ashura and beyond, to inspire positive change, and to motivate progression towards righteousness and the path of the Allah (swt).

The Ziarate of Imam Hussain (as)

Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Adam the choice of Allah. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Noah the prophet of Allah. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Abraham the intimate friend of Allah. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Moses the spoken by Allah. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Jesus the spirit of Allah. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of Muhammad the most beloved by Allah. Peace be upon you, O inheritor of the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him. Peace be upon you, O son of Muhammad the well-chosen Prophet. Peace be upon you, O son of `Ali the well-pleased. Peace be upon you, O son of Fatimah the luminous lady. Peace be upon you, O son of Khadijah the grand lady. Peace be upon you, O vengeance of Allah, son of His vengeance, and the unavenged so far.

I bear witness that you performed the prayers, gave charity to the poor, enjoined the right, forbade the wrong, and obeyed Allah and His Messenger until death came upon you. So, may Allah curse the people who slew you. May Allah curse the people who persecuted you. May Allah curse the people who were pleased when they had heard of that. O my Master, O Abu `Abdullah! I bear witness that you were light in the sublime loins and purified wombs; the impurities of the Ignorance Era could not object you to filth nor could it dress you its murky clothes. I also bear witness that you are one of the mainstays of the religion and the supports of the faithful believers. I also bear witness that you are the God-fearing, pious, pleased, immaculate, guide, and well-guided Imam.

I bear witness that the Imams from your progeny are the spokesmen of piety, the signs of guidance, the firmest handle (of Islam), and the decisive Argument against the inhabitants of the world. And I call Allah, His angels, His Prophets, and His Messenger to witness for me that I believe in you all and in your Return, I have full confidence in the laws of my religion and in the seals of my deeds, my heart is at peace with you all, and all my affairs are based on your commands.

May Allah’s benedictions be on your souls, your bodies, your forms, the present and the absent from you, and the apparent and the invisible from you. My father and mother be sacrificed for you, O son of the Messenger of Allah! My father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Aba `Abdullah! Extremely terrible was the calamity and astounding is the misfortune that you suffered upon us and upon all the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth.

Therefore, Allah may curse the people who saddled up, gave rein to their horses, and prepared themselves to kill you. O my Master, O Aba `Abdullah! I moved towards your sanctuary and came to your shrine beseeching Allah in the name of the standing that you enjoy with Him and the position that you occupy with Him to send blessings on Muhammad and on the Household of Muhammad and to keep me with you in this world and in the Hereafter.

Visiting Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, is obligatory for every Muslim. Ibn Qulwayh al-Qummi narrated in Kamil al-Ziyarat with his chain of transmission on the authority of Ali bin Maimun, who said: I heard Abu Abdullah, peace be upon him, say: “If one of you had performed a thousand Hajj and then did not come to the grave of al-Hasan bin Ali, peace be upon them, he would have abandoned one of the rights of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his family.” He was asked about that and he said: “The right of Hussein, peace be upon him, is imposed on every Muslim”. This honorable narration has expanded the circle of obligation to visit Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, to include (every Muslim), and this is a broader circle and rank. Visiting Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, is an established right imposed on every Muslim, and whoever fails in this right has failed in one of the rights of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace. Peace be upon him and his family.

Visiting Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, is obligatory for men and women. Ibn Qulwayh al-Qummi narrated in Kamil al-Ziyarat, with his chain of transmission, on the authority of Abu Dawud al-Mustaqi, on the authority of Umm Sa`id al-Ahmasiyah, on the authority of Abu Abdullah, peace be upon him, who said: He said to me: “O Umm Sa`id, are you visiting the grave of al-Hussein?” She said: I said yes, and he said to me: “Visit him, because visiting the grave of Hussein is obligatory for men and women”. This narration is clear in its obligation. Rather, it expanded the circle of obligation and obligation to include men and women. “Visiting the grave of Hussein is obligatory for men and women.” We note that after Imam al-Baqir, peace be upon him, asked Umm Saeed al-Ahmasiyah, he said to her: “Do you visit the grave of Hussein?” He ordered her to repeat the visit (I said yes, and he said to me: “Visit him...”), then he explained that by the fact that visiting Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, is obligatory for men and women, and this reveals the importance of visiting the grave of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him.

What is our obligation regarding the obligation of visiting Imam Hussein, peace be upon him? The recommendations of the People of the House, peace be upon them, emphasize a number of points, including purity of body, clothing, intention, knowledge of the rights of the forger, and adherence to the prescribed visits and others. We are not now going to explain these matters, because we would like to explain two other matters mentioned in the statements of the pure family. It was reported on the authority of Imam Al-Baqir, peace be upon him: “... so visit our graves in Al-Ghadiriyah”.

We note that when Umm Saeed Al-Ahmasiyah asked her, “Do you visit Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, do you visit Imam Hussein, peace be upon him,” she said yes, so he said to her: “Visit him, for visiting the grave of Hussein, peace be upon him, is obligatory for men and women”. Although Umm Saeed answered in the affirmative, we see The Imam asked her to visit him again, “Visit him.” This repetition is an obligation that Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, imposed on Umm Saeed al-Ahmasi, explaining to her that it is an obligation on men and women. What we would like to say here and focus on are three points: We must visit the grave of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, and repeat the visit constantly until we remove every state of estrangement that occurs between us and the grave of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him.

Abu Hashim Ja'far narrates: Once, while Imam al-Hadi (a) was sick, he said ''Send a person towards Ha'ir (to seek a cure for me).'' I replied ''May my life be sacrificed for you! Will you allow me to go?'' I intended to go, but before leaving, I spoke about my trip with Ali ibn Balal. He was puzzled and asked, ''Imam al-Hadi (a) himself is a Ha'ir (a place where du'a is accepted. What does he want to do with another Ha'ir. I went to the Imam (a) and mentioned Ali ibn Balal question. The Imam (a) replied, ''Didn't the Noble Prophet (s) perform tawaf around Allah's house the Ka'bah? And didn't he kiss the Hajar al-Aswad, despite his status as the Prophet, and despite the status of a mu'min (believer) being higher than the house of God?! Know that places like Karbala are those places where Allah loves to be mentioned and called upon. Likewise, I prefer for people to seek shifa and cure in places where Allah prefers, and the Ha'ir Husayni is one of them.''
