Ziyārah (Arabic: زيارة‎) (Commonly referred to as, "Ziyārat" ; meaning: "Visit") is a pilgrimage to sites associated with Muhammad, his family members and descendants (including the Shī‘ah Imāms), his companions, or other venerated figures in Islām, such as the Prophets, Sufi saints and Islāmic scholars. Sites of pilgrimage include mosques, graves, battlefields, mountains, and caves. Ziyārat can also refer to a form of supplication made by the Shī‘ah, in which they send salutations and greetings to Muhammad and his family.
