However, since Ziyara is considered as going before Imam (a), certain instructions are given for it, following which increases the benefits one can receive from Ziyarah. Certain instructions are given for the Ziyarah of some Imams (a) such as the Prophet (s) or Imam al-Husayn (a). For example, there are certain [[Du'a]]s and manners recommended to be observed during the Ziyarah of the Prophet (s), and Ziyarah of Imam al-Husayn (a) on the day of [['Arafa]] will have more rewards; or Ziyarah of Imam al-Rida (a) in the months of [[Dhu al-Qa'dah]] and [[Rajab]] has been recommended. | ||

Although, having knowledge has different levels, but the minimum degree of that is that the visitor knows that he is visiting an [[infallible]] Imam (a) who has [[Wilayah]], whose obedience is [[obligatory]], that he (a) is the successor of the Prophet (s) and that the visitor needs to admit to Imam's (a) rights and obey his orders. To explain what it means to be aware and to have knowledge about the rights of Imam, Imam al-Kazim (a) said, "It is to know that his obedience is obligatory and that he is [[Gharib]] [left in distance without help] and martyred." | ||
