Ziarat with English Script and Translation

Ziarat with English Script and Translation

The devotional guide Ziarat with English Script and Translation (Ziyārah — devotional visitation or salutation to the holy figures of Islam) invites believers to engage with the sacred act of remembrance through Arabic text, English transliteration, and fluent translation. It serves both as a manual for recitation and as a reflection of the love that unites the faithful with the Prophet (peace be upon him and his Family) and the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa, an honorific meaning ʿalayhim al-salām — “peace be upon them”).

About the Book

Ziarat with English Script and Translation compiles some of the most significant Ziyārāt recited at the shrines of the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa), including Imam ʿAlī (ʿa), Imam al-Ḥusayn (ʿa), and other Imams.

Each Ziyārah combines reverence and humility, guiding the believer to reaffirm their bond with the Imams as exemplars of faith, sacrifice, and divine proximity.
