The book before you is the much anticipated second volume of The Sacred Effusion by Shaykh Muhammad Khalfan – an exposition on the Ziyārat ‘Ashurā.

The issues surrounding the ‘cursing’ of God’s enemies does not escape any Muslim and yet it is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Islam, even by Muslims themselves. The author has boldly approached the subject head-on and expertly removed any misunderstands that often result in the mistreatment of the subject. Rather than avoiding it, Shaykh Khalfan has embraced the subject matter, much to the benefit of the reader.
