Majlis 67: "Why do we visit the graves of Allah's Awliyaa?" - Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS

22 January 2022

What is the wisdom in doing ziarat? Why do we visit the graves of our Awliyaa?

In the Qur’an Majeed, Allah Ta’ala says, “Never think of those who have been martyred in Allah’s cause as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving bounties.” Allah’s Awliyaa hold an even higher and loftier station.

The literal Arabic meaning of the word ziarat is “to meet.” What is the significance of this?

How should a Mumin perform ziarat? What are the rewards and blessings that a Mumin receives by doing ziarat?

Syedna TUS answers these questions in this Majlis, the 67th in the Majalis al Hikma series.

How can we help?
