Ashura

Ashura is the tenth day of Muharram in the Islamic calendar. On Ashura day, Imam Husayn, the holy prophet Muhammad’s grandson and all 72 of his companions including his six-month-old infant, Hazrat Ali Asghar, were killed in the battle of Karbala.

Shia Muslim people and other Imam Husayn’s lovers commemorate the day of Ashura by taking part in mourning ceremonies and processions held worldwide.

Arabic & English Text of Ziyarat Ashura

In the Name of Allah, the Source of General Mercy to all Humanity, the Source of Specific Grace to the Believers

Peace be upon you O’ Aba ‘Abdillah; Peace be upon you O’ son of the Messenger of Allah; Peace be upon you O’ son of the Commander of the Faithful and the son of the leader of the inheritors (of the Prophet); Peace be upon you O’ son of Fatimah, the leader of the women of the entire Universe.

أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَیْکَ یَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ، أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَیْکَ یَا بْنَ رَسُولِ اللّٰهِ، أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَیْکَ یَا بْنَ أَمِیرِ الْـمُؤْمِنِینَ، وَابْنَ سَیِّدِ الْوَصِیِّینَ،أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَیْکَ یَا بْنَ فَاطِمَةَ سَیِّدَةِ نِسآءِ الْعالَـمِینَ،

Peace be upon you O’ the one who was killed and whose blood has not yet been avenged – and whose avenging is in the hands of Allah and peace be upon you, the son of one who was killed and whose blood has not yet been avenged (Imam ‘Ali b. Abi Talib) and peace be upon you O’ the one who was alone, an individual (killed). Peace be upon you and also upon those souls who accompanied you to your annihilation.

أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَیْکَ یَا ثَارَ اللّٰهِ وَابْنَ ثَارِهِ وَالْوِتْرَ الْـمَوْتُورَ، أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَیْکَ وَعَلىٰ الأَرْوَاحِ الَّتِی حَلَّتْ بِفِنَآئِکَ،

Upon you and upon all of those (who were killed) is the Salam of Allah from me for eternity, as long as the night and the day remain.

عَلَیْکُمْ مِنِّی جَمِیعاً سَلاَمُ اللّٰهِ أَبَداً مَا بَقِیتُ وَبَقِیَ اللَّیْلُ وَالنَّهارُ،

O’ Aba ‘Abdillah! Surely the tribulations are great and unbearable and your tragedy is great for us, and for all the people of Islam and unbearable and great is your tragedy in the heavens and for all of the dwellers of the heavens.

یَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ، لَقَدْ عَظُمَتِ الرَّزِیَّةُ وَجَلَّتْ وَعَظُمَتِ الْـمُصِیبَةُ بِکَ عَلَیْنَا وَعَلىٰ جَمِیعِ أَهْلِ الإِِسْلاَمِ، وَجَلَّتْ وَعَظُمَتْ مُصِیبَتُکَ فِی السَّمٰوَاتِ عَلىٰ جَمِیعِ أَهْلِ السَّمٰوَاتِ،

May the curse (La’n) be upon those people who laid down the foundations for the oppression and wrongs done upon you, the family of the Prophet [Ahlul Bayt].

فَلَعَنَ اللّٰهُ أُمَّةً أَسَّسَتْ أَسَاسَ الظُّلْمِ وَالْـجَوْرِ عَلَیْکُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَیْتِ

May Allah curse those people who denied you your position (O’ Ahlul Bayt) and removed you from your rank which Allah himself had granted you.

وَلَعَنَ اللّٰهُ أُمَّةً دَفَعَتْکُمْ عَنْ مَقَامِکُمْ وَأَزَالَتْکُمْ عَنْ مَرَاتِبِکُمُ الَّتِی رَتَّبَکُمُ اللّٰهُ فِیهَا،

May the curse of Allah be upon those people who killed you and may the curse of Allah be upon those people who made it easy for them by preparing the grounds of your killing.

وَلَعَنَ اللّٰهُ أُمَّةً قَتَلَتْکُمْ، وَلَعَنَ اللّٰهُ الْـمُمَهِّدِینَ لَـهُمْ بِالتَّمْکِینِ مِنْ قِتَالِکُمْ،

I turn to Allah and I turn towards you and turn away from them and their adherents, followers and friends.

بَرِئْتُ إِلىٰ اللّٰهِ وَإِلَیْکُمْ مِنْهُمْ وَأَشْیَاعِهِمْ وَأَتْبَاعِهِمْ وَأَوْلِیَآئِهِمْ˛

O’ Aba ‘Abdillah! I am at peace with those who make peace with you and I am at war with those who make war with you until the Day of Judgment.

یَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ، إِنِّی سِلْمٌ لـِمَنْ سالَـمَکُمْ، وَحَرْبٌ لـِمَنْ حَارَبَکُمْ إِلىٰ یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَةِ،

May the curse of Allah be upon the family of Ziyad and the family of Marwan and may the curse of Allah be upon Bani Umayyah.

وَلَعَنَ اللّٰهُ آلَ زِیَادٍ وَآلَ مَرْوَانَ، وَلَعَنَ اللّٰهُ بَنِی أُمَیَّةَ قَاطِبَةً،

May the curse of Allah be upon Ibn Marjana and may the curse of Allah be upon ‘‘Umar b. Sa’ad and may the curse of Allah be upon Shimr.

وَلَعَنَ اللّٰهُ ابْنَ مَرْجَانَةَ، وَلَعَنَ اللّٰهُ عُمَرَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، وَلَعَنَ اللّٰهُ شِـمْراً،

And may the curse of Allah be upon the nation that carried out, saw and were silent at your killing.

وَلَعَنَ اللّٰهُ أُمَّةً أَسْرَجَتْ وَأَلْـجَمَتْ وَتَنَقَّبَتْ لِقِتَالِکَ،

May my father and mother be sacrificed for you. Surely my sorrow for you is great and I pray to Allah who has honoured your status and has also honoured me through you that He grant me the opportunity to seek your revenge with the victorious Imam from the family of Muhammad.

بِأَبِی أَنْتَ وَأُمِّی، لَقَدْ عَظُمَ مُصَابِی بِکَ، فَأَسْأَلُ اللّٰهَ الَّذِی أَکْرَمَ مَقَامَکَ، وَأَکْرَمَنِی بِکَ، أَنْ یَرْزُقَنِی طَلَبَ ثَارِکَ مَعَ إِمَامٍ مَنْصُورٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَیْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَآلِهِ.

O’ Allah! Make me worthy of respect with You through Husayn, peace be upon him, both in the transient world and also the next life.

أَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِی عِنْدَکَ وَجِیهاً بِالْـحُسَیْنِ ˛ عَلَیهِ السَّلاَمُ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالآخِرَةِ،

O’ Aba ‘Abdillah! Surely I seek closeness to Allah and to His Messenger and to the Commander of the Faithful and to Fatimah and to Hasan and to you through love of you and through distancing myself from those who laid the foundations and those who built upon and carried out oppression and cruelty upon you all and upon your followers.

یَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ، إِنِّی أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلىٰ اللّٰهِ، وَإِلىٰ رَسُولِهِ، وَإِلىٰ أَمِیرِ الْـمُؤْمِنِینَ، وَإِلىٰ فَاطِمَةَ، وَإِلىٰ الْـحَسَنِ، وَإِلَیْکَ بِـمُوَالاَتِکَ، وَبِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِـمَّـنْ قَاتَلَکَ، وَالْـجَوْرِ عَلَیْکُمْ وَأَبْرَأُ إِلىٰ اللّٰهِ وَإِلىٰ رَسُولِهِ مِـمَّنْ أَسَّسَ أَسَاسَ ذٰلِکَ وَ بَنىٰ عَلَیْهِ بُنْیَانَهُ، وَجَرىٰ فِی ظُلْمِهِ وَجَوْرِهِ عَلَیْکُمْ وَعَلىٰ أَشْیَاعِکُمْ،

I disassociate myself from them through Allah and through all of you and I seek nearness to Allah and then to you through love for you and your friends and disassociation with your enemies and from those who want to fight against you and disassociation from their adherents and followers.

بَرِئْتُ إِلىٰ اللّٰهِ وَإِلَیْکُمْ مِنْهُمْ، وَأَتَقَرَّبُ إِلىٰ اللّٰهِ ثُمَّ إِلَیْکُمْ بِـمُوَالاَتِکُمْ وَمُوَالاَةِ وَلِیِّکُمْ، وَبِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِکُمْ، وَالنَّاصِبِینَ لَکُمُ الْـحَرْبَ، وَبِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَشْیَاعِهِمْ وَأَتْبَاعِهِمْ،

Surely I am at peace with those who are at peace with you and I am at war with those who are at war with you and I am a friends to those who are friends to you and I am an enemy to those who are enemies to you.

إِنِّی سِلْمٌ لـِمَنْ سَالَـمَکُمْ، وَحَرْبٌ لِـمَنْ حَارَبَکُمْ، وَوَلِیٌّ لـِمَنْ وَالاَکُمْ، وَعَدُوٌّ لِـمَنْ عَادَاکُمْ،

So then I ask Allah who has honoured me with a cognizance of all of you and a cognizance of your friends that He also grant me the opportunity to disassociate myself from your enemies and that He place me with you – both in the transient world and also in the next life – and that he make me firm in your presence with a truthful stance both in the transient world and also the next life.

فَأَسْأَلُ اللّٰهَ الَّذِی أَکْرَمَنِی بِـمَعْرِفَتِکُمْ، وَمَعْرِفَةِ أَوْلِیَآئِکُمْ، وَرَزَقَنِی الْبَرَاءَةَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِکُمْ، أَنْ یَـجْعَلَنِی مَعَکُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالآخِرَةِ، وَأَنْ یُثَبِّتَ لِی عِنْدَکُمْ قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالآخِرَةِ

And I ask Him (Allah) that He enables me to reach to the honoured station with you in the presence of Allah and that He grant me the ability to seek the revenge of you with the rightly guided Imam from you, who shall surely come and speak the truth.

وَأَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ یُبَلِّغَنِی الْـمَقامَ الْـمَحْمُودَ لَکُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ، وَأَنْ یَرْزُقَنِی طَلَبَ ثَارِی مَعَ إِمَامِ هُدىً ظَاهِرٍ نَاطِقٍ بِالْـحَقِّ مِنْکُمْ،

And I ask Allah for your sake and for the status and rank which you have with Him that He grant me that thing due to me showing grief and sorrow at your sorrows even more than of that which he gives in a person’s own grief and sorrows, and what great sorrow and tragedies you faced! How great was your tragedy for Islam and for all of the inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth!

وَأَسْأَلُ اللّٰهَ بِـحَقِّکُمْ وَبِالشَّأْنِ الَّذِی لَکُمْ عِنْدَهُ أَنْ یُعْطِیَنِی بِـمُصَابِی بِکُمْ أَفْضَلَ مَا یُعْطِی مُصَاباً بِـمُصِیبَتِهِ، مُصِیبَةً مَا أَعْظَمَها وَأَعْظَمَ رَزِیَّتَهَا فِی الإِسْلاَمِ وَفِی جَمِیعِ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ.

O’ Allah! Make me at this moment, one who receives from You prayers, mercy and forgiveness.

أَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِی فِی مَقَامِی هٰذَا مـِمَّنْ تَنَالُهُ مِنْکَ صَلَواتٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ،

O’ Allah! Make me live the life of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and permit me to die the death of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.

أَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْ مَـحْیَایَ مَـحْیَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَمَـمَاتِی مَـمَاتَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ.

O’ Allah! This is the day (the Day of ‘Ashura) which the Bani Umayyah rejoiced upon (and is the day when the) son of the liver eater (the son of Hind b. Abu Sufyan – Mu’awiyah and his son Yazid) celebrated, the cursed son(s) (Yazid) of the cursed (Mu’awiyah), as said by You and Your Prophet at every place and occasion.

أَللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّ هٰذَا یَوْمٌ تَبَرَّکَتْ بِهِ بَنُو أُمَیَّةَ وَابْنُ آکِلَةِ الأَکْبَادِ، اللَّعِینُ ابْنُ اللَّعِینِ عَلىٰ لِسَانِکَ وَلِسَانِ نَبِیِّکَ فِی کُلِّ مَوْطِنٍ وَمَوْقِفٍ وَقَفَ فِیهِ نَبِیُّکَ.

O’ Allah! Curse Abu Sufyan and Mu’awiyah and Yazid b. Mu’awiyah – upon them may Your curse be forever and eternity. And this is the day when the family of Ziyad were happy and so were the family of Marwan at their killing of Husayn, may the Prayers of Allah be upon him. O’ Allah! Increase upon them Your curse and (Your) painful punishment.

أَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَبَا سُفْیَانَ وَمُعَاوِیَةَ وَیَزِیدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِیَةَ عَلَیْهِمْ مِنْکَ اللَّعْنَةُ أَبَدَ الأَبِدِینَ، وَهٰذَا یَوْمٌ فَرِحَتْ بِهِ آلُ زِیَادٍ وَآلُ مَرْوَانَ بِقَتْلِهِمُ الْـحُسَیْنَ صَلَواتُ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِ. أَللّٰهُمَّ فَضَاعِفْ عَلَیْهِمُ اللَّعْنَ مِنْکَ وَالْعَذابَ الأَلِیمَ.

O’ Allah! Surely I seek nearness to you on this day (the Day of ‘Ashura) and in this place (which I am in) and in all days of my life by disassociating myself from these people and sending curses upon them and through my love and friendship to Your Prophet and the family of Your Prophet, peace be upon him and upon all of them.

أَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّی أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَیْکَ فِی هٰذَا الْیَوْمِ، وَفِی مَوْقِفِی هٰذَا، وَأَیَّامِ حَیَاتِی بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْهُمْ، وَاللَّعْنَةِ عَلَیْهِمْ، وَبِالْـمُوَالاَةِ لِنَبِیِّکَ وَآلِ نَبِیِّکَ عَلَیْهِ وَعَلَیْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ.

O’ Allah! Curse the first tyrant who oppressed the right of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and the next person who followed him on this path. O’ Allah! Curse the group who fought against Husayn and those who followed them and supported them and assisted them in killing him. O’ Allah, curse all of them!

أَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَوَّلَ ظَالِمٍ ظَلَمَ حَقَّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآخِرَ تَابِعٍ لَهُ عَلىٰ ذٰلِکَ. أَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْعِصَابَةَ الَّتِی جَاهَدَتِ الْـحُسَیْنَ وَشَایَعَتْ وَبَایَعَتْ وَتَابَعَتْ عَلىٰ قَتْلِهِ، أَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنْهُمْ جَمِیعاً.

Peace be upon you O’ Aba ‘Abdillah and upon the souls which were annihilated with you. Upon you, from me, is the peace of Allah for eternity, as long as the night and the day remain and please do not make this (Ziyarat) as my last contact with you. Greetings be upon Husayn, and upon ‘Ali the son of Husayn and upon the children of Husayn and upon the companions of Husayn.

أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَیْکَ یَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللّٰهِ وَعَلىٰ الأَرْوَاحِ الَّتِی حَلَّتْ بِفِنَآئِکَ، عَلَیْکَ مِنِّی سَلاَمُ اللّٰهِ أَبَداً مَا بَقِیتُ وَبَقِیَ اللَّیْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ، وَلاَ جَعَلَهُ اللّٰهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنِّی لِزِیَارَتِکُمْ، أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلىٰ الْـحُسَیْنِ، وَعَلىٰ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْـحُسَیْنِ، وَعَلىٰ أَوْلاَدِ الْـحُسَیْنِ، وَعَلىٰ أَصْحَابِ الْـحُسَیْنِ.

O’ Allah! Particularly curse the first tyrant, a curse from me, and begin the first curse with him and then send the curse on the second and the third and then the forth (tyrant). O’ Allah curse Yazid, the fifth (tyrant) and curse ‘Ubaydullah b. Ziyad and Ibne Marjanah and ‘‘Umar b. Sa’d and Shimr and the family of Sufyan and the family of Ziyad and the family of Marwan until the day of Judgement.

أَللّٰهُمَّ خُصَّ أَنْتَ أَوَّلَ ظالِمٍ بِاللَّعْنِ مِنِّی، وَابْدَأْ بِهِ أَوَّلاً، ثُمَّ الْعَنِ الثَّانِیَ وَالثَّالِثَ وَالرَّابِعَ. أَللّٰهُمَّ الْعَنْ یَزِیدَ خَامِساً، وَالْعَنْ عُبَیْدَ اللّٰه ِبْنَ زِیادٍ وَابْنَ مَرْجَانَةَ وَعُمَرَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ وَشِـمْراً وَآلَ أَبِی سُفْیَانَ وَآلَ زِیَادٍ وَآلَ مَرْوَانَ إِلىٰ یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَةِ.

O’ Allah! To you belongs the praise, the praise of those who are thankful to You for their tribulations. All Praise belongs to Allah for my intense grief. O’ Allah, grant me the blessing of intercession of Husayn on the Day of Appearance (before You) and strengthen me with a truthful stand in Your presence along with Husayn and the companions of Husayn – those people who sacrificed everything for Husayn, peace be upon him.

أَللّٰهُمَّ لَکَ الْـحَمْدُ حَمْدَ الشَّاکِرِینَ لَکَ عَلىٰ مُصَابِهِمْ. أَلْـحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ عَلىٰ عَظِیمِ رَزِیَّتِی. أَللّٰهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِی شَفَاعَةَ الْـحُسَیْنِ یَوْمَ الْوُرُودِ، وَ ثَبِّتْ لِی قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَکَ مَعَ الْـحُسَیْنِ وَأَصْحَابِ الْـحُسَیْنِ الَّذِینَ بَذَلُوا مُهَجَهُمْ دُونَ الْحُسَیْنِ˛ عَلَیْهِ السَّلاَمُ.
