'''Ziyarah''' (Arabic: الزيارة, literally: visit) is a religious act which means to attend before religious leaders or their graves in order to express and show love and reverence and acquire spiritual blessings. Visiting religious personalities and their graves have always been among recommended acts in [[Islam]] and during the history, [[Muslims]] have paid attention to it and followed it. However, Ziyarah of [[the Prophet (s)]] and [[Imams (a)]] has had a great importance among Shi'a and many spiritual benefits and rewards have been mentioned for them. Since Ziyarah is greatly important in Shi'a culture, it has been regarded among the features of Shi'a.

Despite the general opinion of Muslims about recommendation and permissibility of Ziyarah, [[Wahhabism]] sect, who have certain interpretations of some verses, claim that Ziyarah is not compatible with the conduct of the Prophet (s) and have issued questions about this issue. These questions have caused Shi'a and Sunni scholars to answer and defend the permissibility of Ziyarah.

The importance of Ziyarah and great range of its manners has made the discussion of Ziyarat text (Farsi: زیارت نامه, Ziyrat nameh)or Mazar (Arabic: مزار, lit.: visiting) as an important religious issue, to be the subject for many works. [[Ibn Quluwayh al-Qummi]]'s ''[[Kamil al-Ziyarat]]'' is among the most authentic such references. Other such works are [[al-Shaykh al-Mufid]]'s ''[[al-Mazar]]'', [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]]'s ''[[Misbah al-mutahajjid]]'', [[Sayyid b. Tawus]]'s ''[[Muhajj al-da'awat]]'', [[Shaykh Baha'i]]'s ''[[al-Mazar al-kabir]]'', [[al-Allamh al-Majlisi]]'s ''[[Tuhfat al-za'ir]]'' and [[Shaykh 'Abbas Qummi]]'s ''[[Mafatih al-jinan]]''.
