Ziyarat

Ziyarat refers to the pilgrimage undertaken by Muslims to visit the shrines of revered figures, particularly in Shia Islam. These holy sites typically include the graves of prophets, imams, and martyrs, where pilgrims seek blessings, spiritual connection, and reflection. The practice emphasizes respect, devotion, and remembrance of significant religious figures and teachings. Ziyarat can occur during specific religious occasions, but is not obligatory like the Hajj. It serves as a means to strengthen faith and community ties, fostering a sense of belonging among believers.
