► Ziyarat Ashura is arguably the most famous and oft-recited of the ziyarat or salutations to God’s infallible guides. It is epitome of the genre of ziyarat and has always been a mainstay in the daily liturgy of Shi’a scholars and worshippers as Imam Muhammad al-Baqir a.s. expressly intended when he taught to his disciples. A Salute to the Master of Martyrs is a commentary that attempts to uncover the theological, historical, and spiritual underpinnings of the outstanding Ziyarat.
