Dua's for the Month of Rajab

This Ziarat is for 1st Rajab, 15th Rajab and 15th Shaabaan. It is related from Imam Sadiq (a.s.) that one who performs the Ziarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) on 1st Rajab would be forgiven by Allah. It is narrated from Ibne Abi Nasr that he asked Imam Reza (a.s.) what was the best time for the Ziarat of Imam Husain (a.s.). He (a.s.) replied: 15th Rajab and 15th Shaabaan.

Shaykh Mufeed (a.r.) and Sayyid Ibne Taaoos (r.a.) have mentioned that this Ziarat is for 1st Rajab and 15th Shaabaan, but Shaheed (r.a.) has prescribed it for 1st eve of Rajab, eve and day of 15th Rajab and 15th Shaabaan. Thus according to him this Ziarat is for six occasions. The method of this Ziarat is like this: When you want to perform the Ziarat of Imam Husain (a.s.) on these occasions, perform ghusl, wear ritually pure clothes and stand at the door of the Shrine facing the qibla and salute the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), Ali (a.s.), Hazrat Fatemah (a.s.), Imam Hasan (a.s.) and Imam Husain (a.s.) and other Imams (a.s.). After this recite the dua for permission to enter and then enter. Stand near the Zari and say ALLAAHO AKBAR 100 times. Then recite:

Now kiss the holy grave and place your right cheek on the grave, then place your left cheek upon it, circle the grave and kiss all around it. Shaykh Mufeed (a.r.) says: After this go to the grave of Ali bin Husain (a.s.) and standing at his grave recite:

After this come back and stand at the head of the Imam's grave and pray 2 rakat like fajr Namaz-e-Ziarat and pray for self, the parents and other believers.
