The Miracles of Ziyaarat e Aashoora The Miracles of Ziyaarat e Aashoora
Our Shia Scholars have always resorted to Ziyaarat-e-Aashoora in moments of need and distress. Their experiences have always found this Ziyaarat to be a reliable refuge in calamities and tribulations.
In the first line, we say,Ya Aba AbdilllahmeaningFather of the Slaves of Allah
Without Imam Husayn(AS)’s sacrifice, Islam would be destroyed.There would be absolutely no slave of AllahJust like a father has rights on his children, for he has been part of their creation, Imam Husain A.S. to a much greater extent, has this right on the slaves of Allah because of the greatness of his sacrifice, without which there would remain no slave of Allah
The Ziyaarat helps man to discriminate between good and evil and is a standard to gauge what is right and what is corrupt.
Here I would like to add that we recite the 100 curses and then the 100 salaams. We do it in this order for a reason.To place the love of Allah in one’s heart, one should clear the heart from ones enemies first.
Just like when you invite guest over, first you clean the house and sweep away the dirt, then invite them. The same with LA ILLAHA ILLAL LAAH.First you say, There is no God but Allah.
I make peace with those who make peace with you; I go to war with those who go to war with youI, my father and mother are at your disposal. Profound is my sorrow for you. Be abee anta wa ummee laqad a’zoma mosaabee bekaThis should be the extent of one’s devotion to Imam Husain A.S. – to be able to say with sincerity the above statement – that I will sacrifice all for you!
Imam Jaffer Sadiq A.S. says, “When Allah desires goodness for someone, He instills in his heart the love of Imam Husain A.S. and the love for his Ziyaarat”, because it is as the Prophet S.A.W. says, “Ababallah man ahaba Husaina – Allah loves those who love Husain.”
Mohammed Ali Yazdi was a very pious and devout Muslim. He followed a routine of visiting a cemetery at night , where he would engage in supplication and worship.
Mohammed Ali Yazdi had a close companion who was with him since childhood. Even in their youth they studied together in the same school. They were always together even in matters of business and one rarely saw them separated.
Then unexpectedly, his friend expired and was buried at the cemetery Mohammed Ali Yazdi used to visit.
This cemetery was also the resting place for many God fearing and devout individuals.
Mohammed Ali Yazdi’s friend had not even been buried for a month, when Mohammed Ali Yazdi saw him in a dream.
When he saw his friend in a peaceful condition, he inquired from him, ‘You seem very calm. Tell me which act is responsible for this ease and comfort.
He said, until yesterday I was engulfed in agonizing punishment. But an incident occurred that transformed my state to what it is right now.
He said, Ashraf Haddaad’s wife had expired. Her relatives buried her here, about 100 feet away from my grave.
After the burial of this lady, Imam Husayn(AS) visited the grave and ordered discontinuation of chastisement from her grave.
Consequently on Imam’s intercession, her grave received amnesty from chastisement and I too was liberated. That is why you now find me so contented.
Mohamed Ali Yazdi relates that,When I woke up after seeing this strange dream, I immediately left for the market in Haddaad. I must go to the Market in Haddaad and seek Ashraf and find out
I was not aware of its location and whereabouts. However, after a long search, I managed to hunt down that place.
I reached Ashraf’s place and asked, “Has a lady from your family expired in the recent past?” “Yes, we buried her only yesterday.
Then I asked, No! “Did she have the good fortune of visiting Imam Husayn(AS)’s shrine?
Did she often discuss Imam Husayn(AS)’s afflictions and hardships or did she organize majaalis where the calamities of Imam were narrated? No!
All these questions seemed very puzzling to Ashraf and then he asked, I don’t understand. What do you want to prove by all these questions?
Mohamed Ali Yazdi then related the entire dream. Ashraf then said… I think I know the reason behind this mystery.
In the last days of her life, my wife had taken up the regular recitation of Ziyaarat-e-Aashoora, and this is a direct result of that recitation. As salaamu alayka ya Aba AbdillahAs salaamu alayka yabna Rasullalah….
A learned scholar went to a bookshop to buy the commentary of Ziyaarat-e-Aashoora.
There, he met Shaykh Ali Akbar Saeedi who was the Imam of Shah Tahmaasab Mosque. When the scholar told him, the purpose of his visit, he related an incident.
A Lady converted to Islam. She then married Abul Qasim who was a glass merchant.
They were married for about three years, but did not have any children.
They decided, they would both recite Ziyaarat-e-Aashoor for 40 days, and ask their dua. Ziyaarat-e-Aashoora
For 40 days they recited Ziyaarat-e-Aashoora with 100 curses and salaams, along with Dua e Alqamah. Ziyaarat-e-Aashoora
Allah accepted their Ziyaarat and soon the lady gave birth to a son. The son is still alive today in Yazd with his family and children.
