What it means
When the Heart TravelsBefore You Can.
نائب الزيارة
Nāʾib means a representative or deputy. In Nāʾib al-Ziyārah, someone present at the shrine performs the Ziyārah on behalf of a person who is unable to be there themselves, and remembers them by name.
It is often requested by those who cannot travel because of illness, age, disability, distance or other circumstances — and by families who wish to remember loved ones, including those who have passed away.
