Ziarat Jamia Kabeer in Urdu Translation. An Explanation of Willayat e Masoomin a.s.

This Ziyarah (or visitation) is unique in its way of narration and speaks of the incredible status of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) in the eyes of God.`Allamah al-Majlisi, says this form of Ziyarah is considered the most sublime comprehensive forms in text, chain of authority, eloquence, and lucidity. In his commentary on Man-la-Yahduruhul-Faqih, `Allamah al-Majlisi’s father has mentioned that this form of Ziyarah is the most excellent and most perfect form and that as long as he would be in a shrine of any of the Holy Imams (peace be upon them), he would say no other form than this one.

salla allahu `alayhi wa alihi
may Allah send blessings upon him and his Household,
As you enter the shrine and catch sight of the tomb, you may stop again and repeat the following statement thirty times:
