Kāmil al-Ziyārāt is a significant work by the esteemed scholar Ibn Qūlawayh al-Qummī. This book offers an invaluable collection of narrations centred around Ziyāra, the practice of visiting the sacred sites of the Shīʿa. The structure of Kāmil al-Ziyārāt is reader-friendly, beginning with an exploration of Ziyārāt and its various purposes and benefits. It then delves into the Ziyārāt of specific holy personalities and related themes. The book details the rewards associated with visitations, the proper rituals to perform, the designated recitations, and much more, as prescribed by the Ahl al-Bayt (as). The majority of this expansive 680-page work concentrates on the Ziyāra of Imam Husayn (as). Kāmil al-Ziyārāt is not merely a practical guide to take on a Ziyārāt trip. Instead, it transcends being a logistical guidebook to offer spiritual enrichment, insightful historical context, and a profound understanding of the purpose and merits of these sacred journeys. Whether one is planning a Ziyārā, yearning for one, or simply interested in comprehending its essence, this book offers meaningful and engaging content. Renowned in the world of Shia for being a trusted reference for Ḥadīths and supplications, Kāmil al-Ziyārāt is an essential reading for those eager to gain an in-depth understanding of Ziyāra and the rich traditions that envelop it. Its relevance extends beyond personal spiritual growth, making it a valuable resource for religious research.
