Detecting Theological Teachings in the Arbaeen Ziyarat of Imam Hossein

Arbaeen Ziyarat of Imam Hossein, which in the words of Imam Hasan Askari, is considered to be of Shia’s signs, has come to us in a credible and authentic document from Imam Sadiq. The study of parts of this Ziyaratnameh with a theological perspective clarifies that the ideological issues raised in this Ziyaratnameh can be expressed in three axes: The first axis of the signs of the Imam, including the family of Imamate, being legitimate, the owner of the prophets’ legatee, and having infallibility and supremacy, and knowledge, faith and courage; The second axis is the role of Imam involves guiding people and preserving divine religione; the third axis is the duty of the people towards the Imam, including Tavalli and Tabarri, believing in the certainty of the promise of God for the help of the Imam, and also believing in the occultation and return of the Imams. However, with further exploration, more concepts can be found that hope this way will be continued.
