Ziyarat Ashura

Ziyarat Ashura (Persian: زیارت عاشورا‎‎) is a salutatory prayer to Husayn ibn Ali and the martyrs of the Battle of Karbala. The prayer is part of the liturgy used in pilgrimages to the shrine of Husayn in Karbala. Muhammad al-Baqir, the fifth Shia Imam, recommended reciting Ziyarat Ashura on Ashura while facing Karbala, as a symbolic visit to the shrine.

In Islam, a ziyārah (Arabic: زیارة‎‎) is a visit to the tomb of a saint or other holy person, such as Muhammad or Husayn.

‘Āshūrā’ (Arabic: عاشوراء‎‎), literally "tenth", is a holiday and a day of grief for the shia muslims , falling on 10 Muharram of the Islamic calendar. The death of Husayn ibn Ali and his associates during the Battle of Karbala is commemorated on this day.

Ziyarat Ashura is attributed to Muhammad al-Baqir, the fifth Shia Imam, who transmitted it to his followers. The prayer is found in sacred hadith narrated in particular by Shaykh Tusi in Misbah al-Mutahajjid and by Ibn Qulawayh in Kamil al-Ziyarat: The prayer is also found in Bihar al-Anwar by Allamah al-Majlisi and Mafatih al-Jinan by Abbas Qumi.
