It is used to seek intercession through the prophet or his family, companions and venerated figures. The majority of its practitioners are the Shias and Sunnis including the Sufis.[citation needed] The vocative yā when used with Allāh is used to call upon God for help.[3][4]
Mourning of Muharram
[edit]During the mourning of Muharram, spontaneous slogans of Ya Husayn, Ya Ali, and Ya Rasul Allah (Arabic: يَا رَسُولُ الله "O Messenger of God") are common by Shias. On such occasions, the slogans demonstrate support.[5]
