Ziyarat of Imam Hussain (A.S.)
This Ziyarat of Imam Hussain (A.S.) is specific for the Laylatul Qadr and the “Day” of Eid
According to Hadith, during Lailat-e-Qadr an angel proclaims from the Arsh (throne) on the Seventh sky that Allah has forgiven who have visited the grave of Imam Hussain (as). While performing Ziyarat of Imam Hussain (as), remind yourself that on this night, the souls of 124,000 Prophets (peace be upon them all) visit Imam, who is aware of our inner spiritual reality and is hurt and repulsed by our record of repeated evil deeds, indifference to God’s commandments; thus, we should avoid disgracing ourselves in that great audience of Imam. Also, associate the themes in the ZIYARAH of: – Firm bond of love and obedience of God (SALAT). -Economic betterment of community (ZAKAT). ;-Overall mobilization of forces towards virtue (AMR BIL MA`RUF). -Tremendous endurance of all ensuing difficulties (SABR). -Complete distancing (LA`NAH) from all forms of injustice (DHULM)
