Ziyārat-e-Nāḥiya is one of the most heartfelt and eloquent salutations attributed to Imam al-Mahdi (ajtf), addressed to his grandfather Imam Hussan (a.s.) and the martyrs of Karbala. It is a masterpiece of spiritual literature that combines deep sorrow, reverence, history, and theology.
In this Ziyārat, the Imam expresses his profound grief over the tragedy of Ashura, describing with precision the virtues of Imam Hussan (a.s.), the events of Karbala, and the sacrifices made by the Ahlulbayt (a.s.) and their companions. It highlights not only the physical suffering they endured but also the spiritual beauty, courage, and unwavering commitment to truth that defined their stand.
Ziyārat-e-Nāḥiya serves as a bridge between the believers and the tragedy of Karbala through the words of the Imam of our time. Reciting it inspires love, loyalty, and a deeper understanding of the mission of Imam Hussann (a.s.). It reminds us that the message of Karbala continues to live, guiding us toward justice, patience, and steadfastness in faith.
