Salamun Alaykum,

Question:

Please explain the doctrine of Raja'ah.

Answer:

Raj'ah literally means the return. It is our belief that after the twelfth 
Holy Imam (as) will establish the kingdom of peace, all the Imams (as) 
will return one after another to rule over this Islamic kingdom. 
Hence we recite in Ziyarate Warithah : ...wa bi iyyaabikum muqin.
"and i am certain of your return."
