Kāmil Al-Ziyārāt is indisputably the most complete and comprehensive work ever compiled about Ziyārah.  It contains many narrations which open doors to innumerable fields of knowledge.kamil

Not only is Kāmil Al-Ziyārāt an extremely thorough book of Ziyārah which contains detailed narrations with instructions on how to perform each and every Ziyārah, it contains many different chapters which reveal essential information about the one whose Ziyārah is being performed and about the sacred sites being visited.  There are also several chapters which discuss the incredible rewards for performing the Ziyārah of the Ahlul Bayt, particularly the Master of the Martyrs.

There are also numerous chapters dedicated to the tragedy of Imam Ĥusain, including detailed information about the lamentation of all of the created beings, including the Jinn, the angels, and the Ahlul Bayt over the Thirsty Master in Karbalā, as well as the dedication of all of the prophets, the angels, and the Ahlul Bayt to his Ziyārah, among many other invaluable chapters.

A Woman's Reflection on Leading Prayer

E-mail Print PDF



"Given my privilege as a woman, I only degrade myself by trying to be
something I'm not--and in all honesty--don't want to be: a man. As
women, we will never reach true liberation until we stop trying to
mimic men, and value the beauty in our own God-given distinctiveness."

On March 18, 2005 Amina Wadud led the first female-led Jumuah (Friday)
prayer. On that day women took a huge step towards being more like
men. But, did we come closer to actualizing our God-given liberation?

I don't think so.

Imam_Hussein_Dome_by_islamicwallpersIn the 1422 A.H. Muharram issue of Al Muntazar, in the article titled, 'The visitor of Imam Husain's (a.s.) shrine – From the Intention of Ziyarat till his return to his native', we have already mentioned the innumerable merits of Imam Husain's (a.s.) Ziyarat. Continuing in the same vein, we shall now proceed to appreciate the exalted status of the visitors of Imam Husain's (a.s.) shrine on the Day of Judgment. Perhaps, some skeptics may doubt that how can a few moments of visitation of Imam's (a.s.) shrine make the visitor deserve such astonishing rewards.
