About this Ziyarat collection
Ziyarat is a devotional visitation and salutation. This collection distinguishes named recitations, individual shrine visitations, weekday readings and occasion-specific forms. Alternate spellings lead to the same page. Each page identifies its source and available languages; Urdu guidance is clearly distinguished from a complete Urdu translation.
