# Kawkab Durri — Ziyārāt Arabic Sources

Bundle version: 1  
Verified: 2026-09-21

This bundle contains Arabic devotional text only. No machine-generated religious text and no unsourced modern translation is included.

## Primary corpus

The Arabic bodies were extracted from the open-source `aminpaydar/Mafatih` corpus, which represents *Mafātīḥ al-Jinān* by Shaykh ʿAbbās al-Qummī.

- Repository: https://github.com/aminpaydar/Mafatih
- Master corpus: `mafatih-server/chapters.json`
- License: Apache License 2.0 (copied into `LICENSE-MAFATIH.txt`)
- Arabic `Text` items were retained; Persian `Translate` and `AboutText` material was excluded.

## Included texts

### Ziyārat ʿĀshūrāʾ
- Corpus article: `متن زیارت عاشورای معروفه`
- Classical provenance recorded by the corpus: *Misbāḥ al-Mutahajjid* of Shaykh al-Ṭūsī.
- The two repeated sections are explicitly stored with `repeat: 100`.
- Cross-check: https://www.duas.org/ashura/z_ashura.htm

### Ziyārat al-Jāmiʿa al-Kabīra
- Corpus article: `زیارت جامعه کبیره`
- Reported in *Man Lā Yaḥḍuruhu al-Faqīh* and *ʿUyūn Akhbār al-Riḍā*.

## Transformation policy

Only structural transformations required for the app were applied:
- leading/trailing whitespace removal per Arabic segment
- segmentation along existing corpus Arabic `Text` blocks
- removal of non-Arabic Persian instruction/translation blocks
- explicit `repeat: 100` metadata where the corpus instructs repetition in Ziyārat ʿĀshūrāʾ
- no paraphrasing, rewriting, or generated devotional wording
