Some of the Values of Ziyarat Ashura

The ziyarat of Imams are some Values in our lives because it is through or route we use to talk with Allah like repenting ours sins, needs and the love we have to them. In this article we are to see the values in some of the words from the Ziyara of imam Hussein (A.S)

The reward and virtue of saying

"Ya litani kunto ma'akum" "I wish I were with you"

The sentence "Ya litani kuntu maakum fafuza fauza azeimaa"

"I wish I was with you and I would win a great victory"[1]is both a declaration of position and partiality to the program and Ashura movement of the martyrs of Karbala, and a declaration of readiness to attend the Karbalas repeated in history. Also, the slogan of those who seek martyrdom and the wish of their relatives is from worldly belongings.

Because the type of martyrdom that Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) and his companions accepted in Karbala is the envy of all free people of all ages.

Imam Reza, peace be upon him, addresses Rayan bin Shabib and says:

 “O son of Shabib, if you are pleased to have you from the groans, like what is for those who are martyred with the good ones, then say when it is not.[2]

In the above two lines of Ziyarat Ashura it's how we should mourn for Imam and his companions because of the problems and difficulties, they faced from Madinah to Karbala.

Conclusion

If you want to have the reward of the martyrs of Karbala, whenever you remember that incident, says: I wish I was with them and I could have achieved great salvation with them. This wish shows the background of Ashura's thoughts in the human heart.
