Ziyarat in the language of the Sufis refers to pilgrimage to the tombs of Sufi saints for seeking spiritual grace, which is known as barkai. Option 1 correctly explains this concept. Sufis believe that visiting the tombs of these saints can provide them with blessings and spiritual enlightenment. It is seen as a way to connect with the saint and gain their intercession with God.
Option 2, reciting the divine name, although a practice of spirituality, is not specifically related to Ziyarat. While reciting the divine name is a common practice among Sufis for spiritual purification and connection to the divine, it is not synonymous with Ziyarat.
Option 3, offering three kitchens run on unasked for charity, and option 4, setting up charitable trusts (auqaf), are not directly related to Ziyarat. These options focus on acts of charity and benevolence, which are also important in Sufi teachings, but they do not specifically pertain to the practice of Ziyarat.
Overall, option 1 accurately explains the meaning of Ziyarat in the context of the Sufis, while the other options are not directly relevant to this practice.
