The Miracle of Ziyarat e Ashura

The Miracle of Ziyarat e Ashura

The Ziyārat ʿĀshūrāʾ is among the most powerful devotional texts in Shīʿī Islam — a prayer of love (maḥabbah), loyalty, and divine alignment. The Miracle of Ziyarat e Ashura explores the spiritual impact of this sacred ziyārah (visitation supplication), showing how its words elevate the soul, deepen remembrance (dhikr), and connect the believer to the mission of Imam Ḥusayn (ʿa, an honorific meaning ʿalayhi al-salām — peace be upon him).

About the Book

Published by the World Organization for Islamic Services, The Miracle of Ziyarat e Ashura offers a clear and accessible explanation of the origins, meaning, and transformative power of Ziyārat ʿĀshūrāʾ. Drawing from ḥadīth (prophetic tradition), classical commentaries, and devotional teachings, the author highlights how this ziyārah embodies truth (ḥaqq), justice (ʿadl), and loyalty to the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa, the Prophet’s Household). The book explains the theological significance of invoking blessings and curses within the prayer, clarifying their roots in Qurʾānic ethics and their purpose in distancing the believer from injustice and aligning the heart with God’s will. Through spiritual reflections, it also describes the “miracle” of the ziyārah — its ability to purify intention (ikhlāṣ), inspire steadfastness (ṣabr), and strengthen hope (rajāʾ).
