Supplications for this world and hereafter in Ziyarate Nahiya Muqaddesah

There are various ways a person recites Ziyarat of Imam Husain (a.s.). Sometimes it is through Hadees Qudsi, sometimes through the words of infallible Imam (a.s.), sometimes through words of Ulema and at other times through simple words of our ownself. All of these reach Imam Husain (a.s.) though the honored status can be mentioned in the best manner by Allah and  His Hujjat (a.s.).

Three things comprise of a ziyarat : 
a)    witnessing the status (fazilat) of Imam Husain (a.s.),
b)    cursing his enemies and
c)    seeking supplications for our ownself by the right of Imam Husain (a.s.) and this ziyarat.

In this small writeup, we wish to analyse Ziyarat Nahiya Muqaddesa from the aspects of Supplications for oneself mentioned in it. We find that Hazrat Wali Asr Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) has taught us a unique ziyarat wherein a person after saluting, remembering the masaeb of Imam Husain (a.s.) and cursing his enemies, seeks blessings for this world and hereafter. There are approximately sixty (60) duas related to this world and twenty (20) duas related to hereafter which a person seeks from Allah. Had the Imam of our time (a.t.f.s) not mentioned we would have never realised the absence as well as importance of these things. These supplications help us realise our poverty with regards to these things and the need to seek them.

Asking for these things after mentioning the fazael and masaeb of Imam Husain (a.s.) reiterates the fact that our poverty can be best solved through the waseela of Imam Husain (a.s.). Through these words of salutations and rememberance we go nearer to Imam Husain (a.s.), we are in a state of purity. We  should immediately capitalise on this nearness before we ruin this state of purity by returning to our normal life full of sins and displeasure. The person reciting ziayarat becomes honored in front of Allah due to this recitation and Allah listens to his supplications.

This approach of ziyarat negates the view that we should not ask for worldly bounties during masaeb or days of masaeb like 21st Mahe Ramazan, Ashura, Arbaeen, 28th Safar etc.

We present a few of these supplications related to hereafter
