'''Ziarat al | '''Ziarat al Warith''' is one of the most well-known ziarat-texts for pilgrimage to [[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam al-Hussain]]'s holy shrine. Reciting this ziarat is a part of rituals [[Jaʿfar al-Sadiq|Imam al-Sadiq]] taught Safwan al-Jammal for pilgrimage of Imam al-Hussain. According to some sources, it is recommended to recite this text during Eid al-Adha, and the day and night of Arafa. However, according to narrations it may be practiced any time with the intention of pilgrimage of Imam al-Hussain. | ||

Similarly, the supplication on the first of Rajab conveys this expression of loyalty to the one who stood up in Karbala on the day of [[Ashura]] inviting mankind to God, to strive against the forces that were rebellious towards Him and break their arrogance and direct them to serve God alone. It reads: “At your service, O inviter towards God! If my body did not respond to you when you sought help [on the day of Ashura] or my tongue when you called for support, surely my heart responds to you”. | Similarly, the supplication on the first of Rajab conveys this expression of loyalty to the one who stood up in Karbala on the day of [[Ashura]] inviting mankind to God, to strive against the forces that were rebellious towards Him and break their arrogance and direct them to serve God alone.

This group was large, for it included all those who contributed in fighting Hussain or facilitated the war against him, prepared for it, pledged allegiance to the tyrant for fighting him, mobilized and assisted in any other way in the campaign along with their adherents and followers. | This group was large, for it included all those who contributed in fighting Hussain or facilitated the war against him, prepared for it, pledged allegiance to the tyrant for fighting him, mobilized and assisted in any other way in the campaign along with their adherents and followers. | ||
The third group consisted of those that heard about the tragedy and approved of it. This group included those who heard Hussain’s call for help but did not help him, choosing their well-being instead of supporting the Lord of the Martyrs in the battle of Al-Taff. They are those who abandoned him on the day of Ashura. | The third group consisted of those that heard about the tragedy and approved of it.

Their failure to join Hussain and support him, and their preference for this world over the next concealed their approval of Yazid’s actions, otherwise, such glaring negligence and opting for personal peace invariably leads to an approval of injustice. In other texts this group is described as having betrayed Abu Abdillah Hussain and preferred their well-being to supporting him. In the second general ziara we read: | Their failure to join Hussain and support him, and their preference for this world over the next concealed their approval of Yazid’s actions, otherwise, such glaring negligence and opting for personal peace invariably leads to an approval of injustice.

It is obvious from this text that the three accursed groups are: the group which fought Hussain, the group which helped and supported the first, the group which forsook Hussain and neither answered his call nor helped him. Indeed, the battle of Al-Taff was a real one that had ideological, political and cultural dimensions and as such, it required real stances in terms of loyalty and repudiation, both before and now. It does not accept a position of reluctance and indifference today just as it rejected that in the past; it deems such an attitude to be no better than the hostile stand. | It is obvious from this text that the three accursed groups are: the group which fought Hussain, the group which helped and supported the first, the group which forsook Hussain and neither answered his call nor helped him.
