Miracles of Ziyarat e Ashura – 21) The Mourning

Reading Time: 2 minutes

One Sayyed has recorded: ‘Despite my responsibilities and engagements I used to regularly take out time for recitation of Ziyarat Ashura, although I used to recite at different times of the day (as was convenient). However, I stopped reciting it for a few days. In this period some disputes rose in our midst, and some mischievous persons taking advantage of this conflict blew the whole issue out of proportion.

During one of those nights in a dream, I saw myself as an organiser of Majalis in an Imambargah/house and witnessed some  Anjuman arriving. (An Anjuman is an organization established for observing mourning for Imam Husayn (a.s.)). These Anjuman were beating their chests and whipping themselves with zanjeer (chains). I was greeting these Anjumans and they were entering that place in an orderly manner and sequence.

However, among these was one Anjuman, with their flag, marching forth without any order and flow. I even invited them, but they declined. Suddenly I saw one person standing all by himself. I invited him as well, but he refused. When I approached him I was shocked to see a deep gash on his neck. Perhaps it was due to this wound that he had refuse to come inside and departed from his Anjuman without informing them.

When I woke up I narrated this dream to a person who was an expert in interpretation of dreams. He informed me: you used to recite Ziyarat Ashura regularly, until a few days ago when you stopped reciting it. That is why you found your enemies rising against you. You have been involved in this calamity due to abandoning recitation of this Ziyarat. You must renew your contact with this Ziyarat and  resume its recitation.

And that person you witnessed in your dream, there are certain things related to him as well.’ I decided to act upon his recommendation and resumed recitation of the Ziyarat. I had not yet completed forty days when all those problems (By the Grace of Allah) were rectified.
