Sh. Abbas Ismail explains the following lines of Ziyarat Jami'a Kabira accroding to the works of Ay. Jawadi Amoli & Ay. Zia' Abadi. This is part 4 of the following line: وَأَدَمْتُمْ ذِكْرَهُ You perpetuate mentioning Him 1. Five Stages of how to become a dhakir (stage 4 and up is reserved to infallibles) 2. Activities regarded as ongoing dhikr 3. The Ahlulbayt connection - mentioning Ahlulbayt is from dhikr of Allah (hadith) 4. What is dhikran kathir which Qur'an mentions? Four examples we can do often/ daily (as cited in ahadith). 5. Each obligatory act has a number of similar acts that are mustahab (eg. nawafil, mustahab fasting, umrah, etc), mustahabat has a different level of impact. The mustahabat fills the connection to Allah gaps. 6. Even in mubah acts, we are told to remember Allah. 7. Questions people often ask: Is it useless to recite and do things without knowing what they mean (eg. reading Quran or dua or salah), does it mean it has no benefit? #zikr #dhikr #supplication #remembranceofallah #rememberallah #ziyarat #jamia #shia #islam #quran #hadith #ziyarath #ahlulbayt #ziyaratjamiakabira #imam #prophet #allah
