Know Du’a & Ziyarat

Ziyarat is another way to connect with Allah on a deeper level. The act of speaking and expressing to the role models sets a real example of the faith passed by Allah.

However, Ziyarat is a form of speaking with Allah; while also addressing Prophets and A’immah who are the supreme individuals that conveys humanity the message of worshipping One True God and be prepared to fight the internal and external enemies. Hence, the Ziyarat is just a deep conversation with Allah through the people He himself has appointed with the aspiration of reaching precision

The Du’a is supplication, an act that roves towards Allah, awakening consciousness and reaching to a point, where you receive the knowledge of the Imam. This in reality is the same as knowing Allah.

There are four important points in the Du’a taught by the Ahlul Bayt. They are: expressing greif & shedding tears, conveying one’s needs, better understanding of the belief and the faith, and the courage to fight against internal and external enemies.

As an addition to this, in the Ziyarat we remember those supreme personalities who set the perfect examples of the four characteristics of Du’a.

The Ahlul Bayt have shed the most sincere drop of grief during the prayers. They have expressed their needs to Allah and understood the faith in the most ideal way possible. They also fought the ultimate fight with their internal and external enemies.

The best example in which all the four points are manifested is that of Imam Husayn. And that was considered to be the supreme expression to meet Allah and fighting against all the cruelty of inner and outer enemies.
