Remaining manners of visiting shrines

*    With good intentions, one should approach the saint from the direction of their feet and stand before their face at a distance of at least four feet. He should then present his salam in a voice neither too loud nor too quiet, and in the following manner:

اَلسّلَامُ عَلَیْکَ یَاسَیِّدِیْ وَرَحمَۃُ اللّٰہِ وَبَرَکَاتُہٗ.

*    Afterwards, he should recite Ṣalāt Ghawthiyyah three times, Sūrat al-Fātiḥah and Ayat al-Kursī once each, Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ seven times, and Ṣalāt Ghawthiyyah seven times. If he has more time, he should also recite Yāsīn and Mulk. One should then make this dua: ‘O Allah! Bless me with the reward of this recital in accordance with Your limitless generosity, and not according to the state of my deeds. Convey this reward to this accepted slave of Yours on my behalf!”

*    One should then pray for his permissible needs , presenting the soul of the saint as an intermediary in the court of Allah. Then, giving salam in the same way as before, he should return.^[1]

*    Keeping all due decorum and manners in mind, one should visit the graves of saint to please Allah.

*    As much as possible, one should remain in wudu when visiting, and continue making dhikr and reciting ṣalāt upon the Prophet.^[2]
