Ziyarat of the Imams
buried in Janat al-Baqi:
Peace be
upon you O Imams of guidance, Peace be upon you O people of piety, Peace be
upon you O proofs of Allah on the people of the earth; Peace be upon you who
were steadfast in dealing with people with justice. Peace be
upon you O people of the chosen one. Peace be upon you the family of the
Prophet of Allah, Peace be upon you O people of secret conversations (with
Allah), I bear witness that you proclaimed and advised and persevered for the
sake of Allah and that you were belied and evil was done to you and you forgave
and I bear witness that you are the rightly guided leaders and that obedience
to you is incumbent and that your speech is correct and that you invited (to
the truth) but were not answered and you commanded but were not followed. I
bear witness that you are the pillars of religion and support of the earth, you
were always under the (caring) eyes of Allah who was transferring you from the
wombs of the pure ones, the era of ignorance did not contaminate you; the
sedition of desires has not partaken of you, you have become pure; your origin
is pure. Through you He has favoured us (with His
religion). He has created you in houses in which Allah has allowed His name to
be elevated and remembered. He has made our salutations to you to be mercy for
us and expiation of our sins for Allah has chosen you for us and has made our
creation pure because He has favoured us with your
affection. We are named in front of Him due to your Gnosis and because we
acknowledged and believed in you. This is the position of one that has been
extravagant and has erred; He has submitted and acknowledged what he has
committed and hoped of his sincere position and through you he will be saved
from destruction so be my intercessors. I have come to you for the people of
the world have turned away from you and have taken the signs of Allah as jest
and have become arrogant. O One who is upright and does not over look; O
Eternal One who does not disregard and covers all things You have favoured me with Your help and have shown me the path which
You established for me; for Your slaves have turned away from it and have
become ignorant of its knowledge and have belittled its rights and have
inclined to others; it is Your favour on me with the
people that be to You for I am in front of You in this position remembered and
subject to (Your) decree so do not deprive me of what I hoped for and, by the
sanctity of Muhammad and his pure family, do not disappoint me what I have
asked from You, send Your blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.
Ziyarat of Fatima Binte Asad, mother of Imam Ali:
Peace be on the Prophet of Allah, Peace be on the Messenger of
Allah, Peace be on Muhammad the leader of the Messengers, Peace be on Muhammad
the leader of the foremost ones. Peace be on one whom
Allah sent as a mercy to the universe. Peace be on
you, O Prophet and the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you. Peace be on
Fatima, the daughter of Asad, the Hashimite,
Peace be upon you O truthful and contented one; Peace be upon you O virtuous
and pure one; Peace be upon you O virtuous and pure one; Peace be upon You O
noble and contented one; Peace be upon you O one who looked after Muhammad, the
seal of the Prophets. Peace be upon you O mother of
the leader of the successors. Peace be upon you who showed compassion to the
Prophet of Allah, seal of the Prophets; Peace be upon you O one who raised the
trustworthy friend of Allah; Peace be upon you, on your soul and on your pure
body; May peace, mercy and blessings be upon you and on your son. I bear
witness that you supported in the best manner possible and fulfilled your
obligation and strived for the pleasure of Allah and exerted yourself in
protecting the Prophet of Allah, being aware of his status; believing in his
truthfulness; acknowledging his prophecy, perceiving his blessings; taking
responsibility of his upbringing, dealing with him affectionately; ready to
serve him; choosing what please him, preferring what he like; I bear witness
that you spent your life on the (true) faith and adhering to the most noble
religion, being pleased and contented, pure, clean, guarded and virtuous. May
Allah be pleased and satisfied with you; may He make heaven as your house and
permanent abode. O Allah, send y our greetings on Muhammad and the family of
Muhammad and make my visiting her beneficial to me and make me firm in my love
for her and do not deprive me of her intercession and the intercession of the
Imams from her loins; so grant me her company and gather me with her and with
her pure children; O Allah, do not make it my last visit to her and grant me
another visit to her as long as You keep me alive and if You cause me to die
then gather me with her ranks and include me amongst those receiving her
intercession by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the Merciful ones. O Allah, I
ask You by her status and high position in front of You, forgive me and my
parents and all believing men and women and grant us goodness in this and the
next world and save us, by Your mercy, from the punishment of the fire.
The Ziyarat of Hamza, the uncle of the Prophet at Uhud:
The lion of Allah, Hamza the uncle
of the Prophet of Islam is buried with many martyrs of Uhud
here. The Prophet was heard saying that whoever does his ziyarat
and does not do the ziyarat of his uncle Hamza has been unfaithful to the Prophet. This is the place
where the second Islamic war took place. At the beginning of this war the
Muslims were winning, but a group of archers who were stationed at the entrance
of the moun
tain to block the army of unbelievers, left their position to go and
loot the belongings of the running away soldiers of the unbelievers, in spite
of strict instructions not to leave their position, thus the battle was almost
lost. It is also narrated during this battle Jibra?el
brought the sword ?Zulfiqar? from
heaven because Imam Ali had broken many swords.
Peace be upon you O uncle of the Prophet of Allah peace be upon
him and his family; Peace be upon you O best of the martyrs; Peace be upon you
O lion of Allah and the lion of His Prophet. I bear witness that you fought for
Allah, the Most Mighty and Glorious and you exerted yourself and advised the
Prophet of Allah and desired (the rewards) available through Allah the Most
Glorious. May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, I have come to you
seeking closeness to Allah the Most Mighty and Glorious by visiting you, and
seeking nearness to the Prophet of Allah peace be upon him and his family;
through that desiring from (your) intercession; seeking from my visiting you
freedom of myself and seeking refuge, through you, from the fire; those like me
deserve it for the wrong I have done to myself. (I come) fleeing from my sins
which I have
committed; fleeing to you hoping g for the mercy of My Lord; I
have come to you from a distant land seeking freedom from the fire, my back is
loaded with my sins. I have committed what angers my Lord. I did not find
anyone more worthy to flee to than you, the Ahlul-Bayt
of mercy, so be my intercessors on the day of my poverty and need. I have
traveled to you in a sad state and in distress. I shed tears in front of you,
crying I have come to you lonely; you are amongst those whom Allah has
commanded to join with and has urged me towards piety and guided me to His
grace and love; He urged me to come to you and inspired me to ask my needs to
Him; You are the Ahlul-Bayt no one befriends you is
miserable; one who comes to you is not disappointed and one who is inclined
towards You does not lose nor does one who shows enmity towards you become
happy.
Ziyarat of Martyrs (Shuhada) of Uhud:
Peace be on the
Prophet of Allah, Peace be on the Messenger of Allah; Peace be on Muhammad the
son of ?Abd Allah?; Peace be on you, O people of the
house of belief and unity; Peace be on you, O helpers of the religion of Allah
and helpers of His Prophet and his family, Peace be on you for the patience
which you have exercised for what a wonderful abode that is! I bear witness
that Allah has chosen you for His religion and chosen you for His Prophet. I
also bear witness that you truly strove for Allah and defended the religion of
Allah and His Prophet and you gave yourselves for him. I bear witness
that you were killed on the path of the Prophet of Allah so may Allah grant you
the best reward of (your services to) His Prophet and for Islam and its
followers. May Allah make us see your faces in places of His pleasure and His
honor with the Messengers and the truthful ones and the martyrs and the upright
ones; for they are th
e best friends. I bear witness
that you are the party of Allah and that one who wages war against you wages
war against Allah. I also bear witness that you are the close, victorious ones
to Allah who are living in the proximity of their Lord and are being nourished.
May the curse of Allah and the angels and all the people fall
on those who killed you. I have come to visit you, O people of tawhid, knowing your rights and the merits of visiting you
seeking closeness to Allah and because of my knowing (your) past honourable deeds and good acts so may the peace, mercy and
blessings of Allah be upon you; may the curse, anger and wrath befall on one
who killed you O Allah, make my visit to them beneficial to me and make me firm
in my resolvement (for them) and make me die (for the
same goal) as you made them die and gather me and them in the same abode of
your mercy. I bear witness that you have preceded us and we will join you.
ZIYARAT OF MESJID AL-NABI
Idhun al-Dukhul means permission to enter the Prophet?s mosque
for the Ziyarat (paying homage) of the Pr
ophet:
O Allah, I am standing at the door of one of the houses of Your Prophet
and the family. You have prohibited the people from entering his house except
by the permission of Your Prophet and You said: ?O You
who believe do not enter the house of the Prophet unless permitted to do so?. O
Allah, I believe in this in his absence just as I believe it in his presence
and I know that Your Prophet and Your vicegerents upon whom be peace, are alive
in your presence, they are being nourished, they see my position and hear my
speech and they return my greetings and (I believe) that You have covered my
ears from hearing their speech and have opened the door of perception of their
secret conversations (with You); I seek Your permission, O my Lord firstly;
then I seek the permission of Your Prophet, peace be upon him and his family
secondly and I seek the permission of Your vicegerent, the Imam whose obedience
is incumbent upon me and (the permission of) Your angels entrusted over this
blessed site thirdly. May I enter, O Prophet of Allah, may I enter O the proof
of Allah, may I enter, O angels of Allah who are stationed close to this shrine,
so pe
rmit me O my master to enter the best of way that You have permitted any
of Your friends, if I am not deserving of that then You surely are deserving of
that.

Muhammad, the son of ?Abd Allah? and I bear witness
that you proclaimed the messages of your Lord and that you advised your people
and strived in the path of Allah and you served your Lord with wisdom and
beautiful preaching until death overtook you; and you fulfilled the duty
imposed on you and that you were kind to the believers and severe on the
disbelieves. Allah has made you attain the highest position of honor and
nobility. Praise be to Allah who, through you, has saved us from polytheism and
from going astray; O Allah send Your blessings and the blessings of Your close
angels and Your Messengers and those of Your upright slaves and the people of
the heavens and the earth and those who
have glorified You, O Lord, from the
beginning to the end, on Muhammad Your slave and Messenger and Your Prophet and
Your trustworthy and saved one, Your beloved and Your chosen one; Your special,
pure and most virtuous one from Your creatures. O Allah, grant him an elevated
status and make him a means to heaven and raise him in a praiseworthy status,
which the first and the last people will wish to attain. O Allah, You have
said: ?If they wrong themselves and come to you and seek forgiveness from
Allah, and if the Prophet seeks forgiveness for them, they will find Allah
forgiving and merciful?. I have come to you seeking forgiveness, repenting my
sins and I seek your mediation with Allah, who is my Lord and Your Lord that He
forgives my sins.
At maqame Jibra?il

that there is no god but You and that Muhammad is Your slave and Your Messenger
Peace be upon him and his family.

contented and purified from all impurity, sanctified from all filth and He has
allocated heaven as your resting abode and elevated you to a high station; May the
blessings of Allah be upon you, blessings through which the eyes of His Prophet

Your creatures.
Read the following between Rukn
al-Yamani and Hajre al-Aswad:
O my Lord, grant us virtue in this world and in the
hereafter and save us from the punishment of the fire.

spread both hands on the walls of the Ka?aba and,
with the face and body touching the wall, recite the following du?a: O Allah, this is Your house, Your slave; in this
position I am seeking Your protection from the fire. O Allah, from

from You). O Allah, indeed my (good) actions are few so increase them for me
and forgive what You know about me which You have
hidden from Your creatures, I seek protection by Allah from the fire. O Allah,
I have (committed) multitudes of sins and multitudes of slips; You have multitudes of mercy and multitudes forgiveness. O

answer me (ask for your Haajat, confess your sins
etc).

all His blessings
until the praises reach the (level) He loves and is pleased
with. O Allah, send Your blessings on Muhammad and his
family; accept my (supplications), and purify my heart and make my actions
righteous. O Allah, through my obedience to You and
Your Messenger, peace be upon him and his family, have mercy on me. O Allah,
prevent me from transgressing Your boundaries and make
me amongst those who love You and Your Prophet, peace be upon him and his

foremost before everything, the last one after everything and I am here in
front of You, my forehead is in front of You; so forgive me for no one but You
forgives the immense sins; forgive me for I confess my sins against myself, no
one can overlook the great sins apart from You.

and if You punish me then You are free from my punishment whereas I am in need
of Your mercy. O One whose mercy I am in need of, have mercy on me and not deal
with me according to how I am,

A?AMAL ARAFAT ? BY IMAM HUSAYN (AS):
Praise belongs to
Allah, whose decree none may avert, and whose gift none may prevent. No
fashioner?s fashioning is like His fashioning, and He is the Generous, the
All-embracing. He brought forth the varieties of unprecedented creatures and
perfected through His wisdom all He had fashioned. Hidden not from Him are
harbingers, nor lost with Him are deposits. He repays every fashioner, feathers
the nest of all who are content and has mercy upon all who hu
mble themselves.
He sends down benefits
and the all-encompassing Book in radiant light. He hears supplications, averts
afflictions, raises up in degrees, and knocks down
tyrants. For there is no god other than He, nothing is equal to Him. ?Like Him
there is naught, and He is the Hearing, the seeing, the subtle, the Aware and
He is powerful over all things?. O Allah, I make Thee my quest and bear witness
to Thy Lordship and acknowledging that Thou art my Lord and to Thee is my
return.
Thou created me from
dust, then gave me a place in the loins (of my fathers), secure from the
uncertainty of Fate and the vagaries of the ages and the years.
I remained a traveler
from loin to womb in a time immemorial of past days and bygone centuries. In Thy
tenderness, bounty and goodness toward me Thou did not send me out into the
empire of the leaders of disbelief, those who broke Thy covenant and cried lies
to Thy messengers. Rather Thou sent me out to that guidance which had been
foreordained for me, the way, which Thou made easy for me and in which Thou
nurtured me. And before that Thou were kind to me through Thy gracious
fashioning and abundant blessings. Thou or
iginated my creation from a
sperm-drop spilled and made me to dwell in a threefold gloom among flesh, blood
and skin. Thou gave me not to witness my creation, nor
did Thou entrust me with anything of my own affair. Then thou sent me out into
the world for the guidance that had been foreordained for me, complete and
unimpaired. Thou watched over me in the cradle as an infant boy, provided me
with food, wholesome milk, and turned the hearts of the nursemaids towards me.
Thou entrusted my upbringing to compassionate mothers, guarded me from the
calamities brought by the jinn and kept me secure from excess and lack. High
art Thou, O Merciful! O Compassionate! Then when I began to utter speech Thou
completed for me Thy abundant blessings. Thou nurtured me more and more each
year until, when my nature was perfected and my strength balanced, Thou made Thy
argument incumbent upon me by inspiring me with knowledge of Thee, awing me
with the marvels of Thy wisdom, awakening me to the wonders of Thy creation
which Thou had had multiplied in Thy Heaven and Thy earth, and instructing me
in Thy thanks and remembrance. Thou made incumbent upon me Thy obedience and
worship, made me to understand what Thy messengers had brought and made easy
for me the acceptance of Thy good pleasure. Thou were gracious to me in all of
this, through Thy succour and kindness. Then, since
Th
ou
created me from the best soil, Thou were not
satisfied, my God, that I should have one blessing without another. Thou
provided me with varieties of sustenance and kinds of garments and Thy
tremendous - most tremendous - graciousness to me and Thy eternal goodness
toward me. And finally, when Thou had completed for me every blessings and
turned away from me all misfortunes, Thou were not prevented by my ignorance
and audacity from guiding me toward that which would bring me nigh to Thee or
from giving me success in that which would bring me close to Thee. For if I
prayed to Thee Thou answered, if I asked of Thee Thou gave, if I obeyed Thee
Thou showed Thy gratitude, all of that was to perfect Thy blessings upon me and
Thygoodness Êtoward
me. So glory be to Thee, Glory be to Thee, who are Producer and Reproducer,
Laudable, Glorious Holy are Thy Names and tremendous Thy bounties. So which of
Thy blessings, my God, can I enumerate by counting and mentioning? For which of
Thy gifts am I able to give thanks? Since they, O lord, are more than reckoners can count or those who entrust to memory can
count or those who entrust to memory can attain by knowledge. But the
affliction and
hardship, O God that Thou turned and averted from me is more
than the health and happiness that came to me. And I witness, my God, by the
truth of my faith, the knotted resolutions of my certainty, my pure and
unadulterated profession of Unity, the hidden inwardness of my consciousness,
the places to which the streams of light of my eyes are attached, the lines on
my forehead?s surface, the openings for my breath?s channels, the parts of my
nose?s soft point, the paths of my ears? canals. What my lips close upon and
compress, the movements of my tongue in speaking, the joining at the back of my
mouth and jaw, the sockets of my molar teeth, the place where I swallow my food
and drink, that which bears my brain, the hollow passages of my neck?s fibers,
that which is contained in my breasts? cavity, the carriers of my aorta, the
places where my heart?s curtain is attached, the small pieces of flesh around
my liver, that which the ribs of my sides encompass, the sockets of my joints,
the contraction of my members, the tips of my fingers, my flesh, my blood, my
hair, my skin, my nerves, my windpipe, my bones, my brain, my veins, and all of
my members, what was knitted upon them in the days when I was a suckling baby,
what the earth has taken away from me, my sleep, my waking, my being still, and
the movements of my bowing and prostrating, that had I taken pains and had I
striven for the duration of the epochs a
nd ages - were my life to be extended through
them - to deliver thanks for one of Thy blessings, I would not have been able
to do so, except by Thy grace, which alone makes incumbent upon me never-ending
and ever-renewed gratitude to Thee, and fresh and ever present praise. Indeed,
and were I and the reckoners among Thy creatures ever
so eager to calculate the extent of Thy bestowal of blessings, whether past or
approaching, we would fail to encompass it through numbers or to calculate it?s
boundaries. Never! How could it ever be done! For Thou announce in Thy eloquent
Book and truthful Tiding, Thy Book, O God, Thy Message, has spoken the truth!
And Thy prophets and messengers delivered Thy revelation that Thou had sent
down upon them and the religion that Thou had promulgated for them and through
them. And I witness, my God, my effort, my diligence, and the extent of my
obedience and my capacity, and I say as a believer possessing certainty,
?Praise belongs to God, who has not taken to Him a son? that He might have an
heir, ?and who has not any associate in His dominion? who might oppose Him in
what He creates, ?nor any protector out of humbleness? who would aid Him in
what He fashions. So glory be to Him, glory be to Him! ?Why, were there gods in
earth and heaven other than God, they would surely go to ruin? and be rent.
Glory be to God, the Unique, the One, ?the Everlasting Refu
ge? who ?has not
begotten, nor has He been begotten, and equal to Him there is none? Praise
belongs to God, praise equal to the praise of the angels stationed near to Him
and the prophets sent by Him. And God bless His elect, Muhammad, the Seal of
the Prophets, and his virtuous, pure and sincere household, and give them
peace.
