### 6. Question
\nMany narrations mention multiplied rewards for visiting al\u2011Husayn (peace be upon him), even equating each step with numerous pilgrimages. Does this great merit have a Qur\u2019anic basis?<\/h4>\n

### Answer
\n1. Numerous verses indicate that the wilayah of Allah, His Messenger, and Ahl al\u2011Bayt is the supreme objective of religion. For example:<\/h4>\n

\\[
\n\\text{\u201cSay: I ask of you no reward except love for my near relatives\u2026\u201d (42:23)}
\n\\]<\/h4>\n

Thus, wilayah is placed as the essential counterpart to all other pillars.<\/h4>\n

Also:<\/h4>\n

\\[
\n\\text{\u201c\u2026So make hearts among the people incline toward them\u2026\u201d (14:37)}
\n\\]<\/h4>\n

The ultimate aim of rituals such as \u1e25ajj and prayer is the inclination and love of hearts toward the progeny of Ism\u0101\u02bf\u012bl\u2014the Ahl al\u2011Bayt. The goal is greater than the preliminaries leading to it.<\/h4>\n

2. Another indication is:<\/h4>\n

\\[
\n\\text{\u201cDo you consider the providing of water to pilgrims and maintaining the Sacred Mosque equal to one who believes in Allah and strives in His cause? They are not equal before Allah\u2026\u201d (9:19)}
\n\\]<\/h4>\n

This verse favors \u02bfAl\u012b (peace be upon him) and jih\u0101d over ritual services. Imam al\u2011Husayn is the great teacher of jih\u0101d; visiting him and walking toward him is a spiritual training ground for that path.<\/h4>\n

3. This reflects a fundamental principle: wilayah and striving in the path of Allah surpass all acts of worship, and all worship is valid only when aligned with loyalty to Allah, His Messenger, and His appointed successors.<\/h4>\n

### Answer

### 10. Question
\nWhy is al\u2011\u02bfAbb\u0101s (peace be upon him) not mentioned in Ziy\u0101rat \u02bf\u0100sh\u016br\u0101\u02be?<\/h4>\n

### Answer
\nPerhaps because he has a separate ziy\u0101rah dedicated exclusively to him.<\/h4>\n
