By examining historical texts and contemporary perspectives, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the significance of this holy site. We are describing history of tomb and also bravely incidents in Karbala of Hazrat Abbas Alamdar (RA) in nine parts. so please watch all parts. and if you like then please share to your friends so that they also be benifit.

The pilgrimage to the holy shrines of the Prophets, Imams, and saints is called Ziyara. It is different from the ritual pilgrimage to Mecca, which is called Hajj. Hajj however is obligatory upon every Muslim man and woman under specific conditions, whereas Ziyara is not obligatory. Yet, it is much recommended in the innumerable narrations of the Prophet and the Imams who have stated about the rewards of those who perform such pilgrimages voluntarily.13

Simply, Ziyara is to visit the tomb and say a word of greeting, such as ‘Salaam’. Other narrations have confirmed that it is acceptable to address such words of greetings from any place in the world while directing the face towards the direction of the tomb.

At any rate, it is advisable, according to reason as well as instructions of well-versed scholars, to commit to the statements of the Ziyaras that are related to the Ahlul Bayt (a), because such statements express the deep reality of status of the owner of the visited tomb and hint at the most accurate conducts to be practiced there.

On that account, it is recommended for the visitors of the tomb of al-’Abbas to follow the instructions mentioned in the saying of Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a) regarding the Ziyara.

In this saying, the Imam instructs the visitor to stop opposite to the body of al-’Abbas turning the back to the kiblah, just like visiting the tombs of the prophets and Imams. This expresses the utmost courtesy befitting the elevated rank of al-’Abbas. In fact, to visit al-’Abbas after his death is same as visiting him during his life. This is because the martyrs are

“…alive with their Lord and receive sustenance from Him.”14

The author of Mezar ul-Bihar on page 165, records that Sheikh al-Mufid, Ibn al-Mash’hadi, and ash-Shahid al-Awwal emphasized that the visitor of the tomb of al-’Abbas should first stop at the door of the shrine and seek permission to enter by saying: “Greetings of Allah… etc.” He then should enter and throw himself on the tomb and recite: “Salaam be upon you, the righteous servant of God… etc.” He then should move to the direction of the head to offer the prayer and supplicate to God. He then should return to the tomb, stop at the two legs, and recite: “Salaam be upon you, Abu’l-Fadhl al-’Abbas… etc.”
Although these statements do not show whether it is advisable to stop at a specific side, it is understood that the direction of the kiblah is the intended.

Some scholars however advised to visit the tomb of al-’Abbas before that of Imam al-Husayn (a), because the earlier is the door to the latter.

It is also advisable to offer the two-rakaa15 prayer of Ziyara at the tomb of al-’Abbas. During his visit to the tombs of the martyrs of Karbala on the fortieth day after their martyrdom, Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari visited the tomb of al-’Abbas ibn ‘Ali and offered a two-Rakaa prayer.16

It is also advisable to kiss the tomb. This is proved through the narration of Safwan al-Jammal who relates it to Imam as- Sadiq (a):

“…You should then come near the tomb of al-’Abbas ibn ‘Ali and say… Then throw yourself on to the tomb, kiss it, and say… etc.”17

The Ziyara of Al-’Abbas
The noble Sheikh Ja’far ibn Qawlawayh al-Qummi related to a considerable series of narrators that Abu-Hamza ath-Themali had said that (Imam) as-Sadiq (a) stated:

If you intend to visit the tomb of al- ‘Abbas ibn ‘Ali that lies on the bank of the River Euphrates opposite to al-Haair, you should stop at the gate of the shrine (precinct) and say -

Salaam of Allah and Salaam of His favorite angels, His commissioned prophets, His righteous servants, all the Shahids, and all the veracious (ones), and also pure, true blessings that come and go, be upon you O son of Amir ul-Mu’minin (chief of the faithful ones).

I testify to you about your submission (to the will of God), honest acceptance as being true, the loyalty and sincerity to the descendant of the commissioned Prophet (S) and his family, the chosen grandson (of the Prophet), the well knowledgeable guide (to the true religion), the conveying successor, and the wrongfully oppressed one (namely - Imam al-Husayn ibn ‘Ali).

So, may Allah reward you on behalf of His Messenger, Amir ul-Mu’minin, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn, peace of Allah be upon them, with the best reward for your steadfastness, dedication (to the sake of God) and support (for the right party) - very excellent may be the reward of an eternal life.

May Allah’s curse be on he who killed you. And Allah’s curse be on he who omitted your right, belittled your sanctity. And Allah’s curse be on he who precluded you from having from the water of the River Euphrates.

I testify that you were killed wrongfully, and that Allah will verily fulfill His promise that He made with you.

O Son of Amir ul-Mu’minin, I have come to you to present myself before you. My heart is submissive to you and is following you. And I am your follower. I am ready to support you until Allah decides for me. He is surely the best of all who decide.

I am verily with you, not with your enemy. I am one of those who believe in you and believe in your Return. I am also one of those who deny your opponents and killers.

May Allah kill the group who killed you with hands and tongues (by giving orders of killing you)
