Why Ziyarat?
- Through performing our visitation to the holy shrines of the Ahlul-bayt, we are actually visiting them as if they were alive. And we know that those who die in the way of Allah are alive, so our Imams can hear and see us. We can finally proclaim that we are aiming to fulfill the obligation associated with claiming “muwadda” (extreme love) to the Holy Prophet and his pure progeny.
- Have you ever pictured what the day of Ashura must have looked like? Do you ever think about the place where Hadhrat Ali Akbar received the arrow on his heart?
- Performing Ziyarah allows one to see it real, allow us to visualize and imagine that very fateful day.
- Don’t we travel far and wide to visit our near and dear ones? Well, Ziyarah offers us the opportunity to be with our beloved… to be with our imams.
The Spiritual dimension of Ziyarat
As you embark on this spiritual journey, you are filled with anticipation as you know you are about to step on the same ground as your beloved Imams.. Whether you are going to be in Najaf under that lofty dome of Ameerul Mumineen or in Karbala, standing on Tile Zainabiya (that hill on which Bibi Zaynab saw her brother being brutally massacred), you realize you are blessed to be there. Ziyarat has a special feeling. It is an opportunity to connect with Allah’s most beloved as well as with Allah himself. When you make your niyyah for the Ziyarah, you realize that you finally have the opportunity you have been waiting for. Ziyarat offers you that time for yourself where you can detach from this world and its allurements and focus on gaining some material for the hereafter. Simply reflecting in the harams is ibadat. One can gaze at that glorious zareeh for hours. Reading duas and Ziyarats of these holy Imams brings both joy to your heart as you realize that you are in their presence as well as grief as you reflect on the great tragedies that befell these wonderful beings.
