About this day
A ziyara text attributed to Imam al-Mahdi (aj), recited at the shrines right through Rajab rather than on one day, and especially at Imam Ali's (a) shrine on the eve of Mab'ath. It is core Iraqi and Najafi practice. The Centre lists it at the start of the month as a marker for the whole of Rajab.
