The benefits
of visiting the mausoleum of the King of Martyrs, the Infallible Imam Husayn
(a.s.) are numerous. The Noble Messenger
(s.a.w.a.s.) had said: “Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn”. Although every
Infallible Masoomeen (Fourteen) were martyred for protecting the Message of
Allah (s.w.t.) but the King of Martyrs, Imam Husayn (a.s.), his male relatives
and companions were mercilessly slaughtered in the most unbearable conditions
of deprivation of food and water for three days in the scorching desert heat of
Karbala in Iraq. The believers at least may recite the Ziarat and earn rewards
from Allah (s.w.t.)
The complete
Ziarat is long hence the first part of the Ziarat is appended below for
pondering:
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 Ibrahim, the Friend of Allah
Peace be upon you, O
Inheritor of Musa, who conversed with Allah
Peace be upon you, O
Inheritor of Isa, the Holy Spirit of Allah
Peace be upon you, O
Inheritor of Muhammad, the most beloved friend of Allah
Peace be upon you, O
Inheritor of Ali, the Commander of the Faithful and the vicegerent of Allah
Peace be upon you, O son
of Muhammad Mustafa
Peace be upon you, O son
of Ali whom Allah was pleased to choose
Peace be upon you, O son
of Fatima, the most exalted among the women of the world
Peace be upon you, O son
of Khatija-tul-Kubra
Peace be upon you, O Martyr, for whose blood Allah claims
compensation.
I testify that you established
the prayers and paid the poor rate and ordered to do what is right and lawful and
forbade sinful actions and obeyed Allah and His Messenger till the inevitable
came unto you.
So, May Allah curse the
people who assassinated you, and may Allah curse the people who oppressed you,
and may Allah curse the people who heard of it and were pleased with it.
O my Master, O Aba
Abdullah, I bear witness that you were Light before and during conception.
The impurities of
pre-Islamic age could not touch you, nor does its uncleanness affect you.
I bear witness that
verily, you are the pillar of our religion and the Leader of the faithful.
I bear witness that you
are the Imam, virtuous, that you guarded yourself against sins, which you were
pleased to resign to the Will of Allah, that you are pure, that you are guided
aright, and that you are divinely guided.
And I bear witness that
verily the Imams that are your Progeny are the essence of abstinence, the signs
of guidance, the strong rope of religion and the proofs of Allah for the people
of the world.
And I make
Allah, His Angels, His Prophets and His Messengers, the witness that I believe
in him and in his return and in the Laws of Allah and in the consequences of
human actions. I sincerely submit to him and follow his commands. May Allah
bless them and their souls and their bodies and what is visible and what is
unseen and what is unseen, and what is apparent and what is hidden.
