The Great Sacrifice of Imam Hussain (AS)

Excerpt of Ziyarat Nahiya & Eulogy recited by Haaj Mahdi Samawati (with English translation)

Translated by Sheikh Hayder Shirazi

Of the several prescribed Ziyarat of Imam Hussain (AS), one was recited by Imam al-Mahdi (AJTF) and reached us through one of his four special deputies. For that reason, it is known as Ziyarat al-Nahiya al-Muqaddasah. One of the most important features of this Ziyarat is that in different phrases, Imam al-Mahdi (AJTF) graphically describes the events of Ashura and the agony that Imam Hussain (AS) and his family faced on that horrific and ominous day.
