Ghareeb is an Arabic word which means a stranger. Ghreebul Ghuraba means the the stranger of the strangers.

We have authentic narrations in Kaamil Al-Ziyarat by Ibn Qowlawayh mentioning great reward for visiting Imam Ali Riza (AS) in his far away place في غربته. Which means that he is Ghareeb in the place where he is.

No believer lives with out been tested. Allah says in Quran : Did people think that they will be left with out tests? (Sura 29: 2).

Even being in easy life is a test by itself whether we thank Allah and appreciate His bounties or not.

When you feel that you have no difficulties, you need to thank Allah and seek from Him to protect you from unexpected hardships.

Allah never wants any one to do wrong, on the contrary, He showed every one the right way and the wrong way and ordered and encouraged to do good and avoid bad. Allah granted human beings the intellect and the option to do whatever they decide to do and He never forced any one to do good or bad.

SubhanaAllah means :Exalted and Glorified is Allah. 
We repeat saying Subhana Allah to remember the Greatness of Allah, which in fact more than any imagination. Our thinking and intellectual abilities fail in exploring or reaching to the real greatness of Allah.

Repeating SubhanaAllah makes us more humble in our worship and more humble with people.

Tabarra is called in Arabic التبري من أعداء الله which means complete boycott and disassociation from the enemies of Allah (SWT) who are also enemies of the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). Tabarra is mentioned in Quran in many places and one whole Sura in Quran (Sura Tawbah) starts with Tabarra براءة من الله ورسوله.

Tabarra is the faith and practice of all the Prophets as we read in Quran in Sura 9, verse 114 ; (When it became clear for him (Ibraheem) that he (his uncle) is enemy of Allah, he disassociated himself from him).

Tabarra is one of the obligatory duties in Islam and no Muslim is permitted to have in his heart love of Allah and love of enemies of Allah at the same time.

We must be fully with Allah and His humble servants and totally against the enemies of them.

We must be careful when we express our feelings against the enemies of Allah (SWT), the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) not to instigate enmity with other communities as Allah orders us in Quran not to insult those are been worshipped besides Allah lest they wrong about Allah with no knowledge.

Bismihi ta'ala

This is an expression mentioned towards the end of Ziyarat 'Ashura`, and wurūd here means entry, or returning back. The wurūd is entering into the sovereignty of God, and it could be positive and good, or negative and bad [as in Surah Hud, 98]. Yawm al-wurūd may not just be Judgment Day, but any stage after death, like entering the grave, barzakh, and resurrection. It is during these stages that we ask Allah ta'ala to grant us the shafa'ah of Imam Husain (a.s.). 

This is why in the Ziyarah, we say:

 اَللَّهُمَّ اُرْزُقْنِي شَفَاعَةَ اَلْحُسَيْنِ يَوْمَ اَلْوُرُودِ

We hope to be blessed with the intercession of Imam Husain (a.s.) at these very difficult times once we depart this world. Imam Husain (a.s.) is the Ark of Salvation, and it is for this reason that we seek his intercession. 

Of course, it is more probable that yawm al-wurūd is referring to Judgment Day alone, as such has been expressed in other narrations, like the following in reference to Imam Ali (a.s.) being in charge of supplying water (al-sāqī) on Judgment Day, as the Prophet (s.a.w.) had proclaimed:

 اَلسَّاقِيَ يَوْمَ اَلْوُرُودِ

In any case, this ziyarah is an important ziyarah that we should recite as much as possible, and hopefully be granted the intervention of Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) on Judgment Day, at the time we will need it most.

With prayers for your success.
