The shrine of Lady Zeinab, peace be upon her, in the town of Rawya in Ghouta, Damascus, is considered one of the most important spiritual shrines and one of the masterpieces of Islamic architecture. Believers from all over the world visit it, their hearts full of faith, and they enjoy heavenly scents at its pure thresholds that fill their senses with the fragrance of piety and reverence. Visitors to the shrine used to offer sacrifices and vows of livestock to be slaughtered in the shrine’s slaughterhouse and then distribute them all to the poor.

Who is Lady Zainab (pbuh)?

Zainab is a cry in the conscience of the nation:
Zainab’s voice still echoes in the place where the voice of injustice and tyranny was loudest. That honorable stance before the tyrant Yazid will not be forgotten: “By God, you will not erase our remembrance and you will not kill our revelation.” What is this remembrance that Zainab, peace be upon her, promised to preserve and preserve? This promise from Zainab, peace be upon her, was not a promise from an ordinary woman, but rather it was a purely divine promise, and we know that such a promise would not have been uttered by Zainab, peace be upon her, except after she saw the plot planned to erase religion and kill the revelation.

The mastermind conspiracy:
So Islam has been targeted since then, and this targeting will not stop until the Day of Judgment. The enemy is lurking against us with all its might, with various types of methods, both apparent and hidden. Today we are witnessing the blind attack on moderate Islam belonging to the family of the Prophet, peace be upon them, represented by soft war, and intellectual, cultural, and ideological invasion..

Zainab is a role model for women:
From a young age, Zainab, peace be upon her, was the best comfort for her mother, Al-Zahra, peace be upon her. She learned from her mother’s school, so she was the best example for women. The narrator of the hadith of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, and the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, and the patient, decent, pious, and righteous believer, Lady Zainab, peace be upon her, as she was considered the sacred companion of her brother Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, and her role after his martyrdom was very great, as she carried the task of preserving 'The Imamate' is with her Alawite sisters, and that is why she was called Aqeela Bani Hashim and the Mother of Misfortunes, and Imam Zayn al-Abidin, peace be upon him, said about her: “O aunt, you, thank God, are knowledgeable and educated, understanding and intelligible” (Bihar al-Anwar: vol. 2, p. 522).

Lady Zainab, peace be upon her, stood before the most powerful tyrants on earth, and bore the burden of missionary responsibility. She played a prominent role in educating women and giving them lessons in jihad and sacrifice, in her resounding speech that shook the thrones of darkness and made clear the nature of the Husseini renaissance. At the same time, this speech complemented the process of Karbala.
This speech by Al-Zainabi Al-Alawi, in which Aqila of Banu Hashim destroyed the tyranny of the oppressive Umayyad Yazid, and inflicted shame and disgrace upon him and those who enabled him to control the necks of the Muslims, and made him know the greatness of the Prophet’s family, whose foreheads do not bow before tyrants and oppressors.

Women and the challenges of the era:

Zainab, peace be upon her, had another stance before the people of Kufa, where she addressed the people through her father, Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, while everyone was silent. Why? Because the nation that submitted to humiliation and humiliation at the beginning of its renaissance at the hands of Yazid and others like him is not able to advance in this era in which it has been dispersed and weakened to the point that it has been disrupted in the way we see it today.

Alas for the Muslims who are the owners of the truth, why did they close their eyes to the words of the family of the Messenger and their wife, Zainab, whose words resonated and would not subside until the Hour of Judgment, and why did they not notice that upbringing that produced such women who led themselves to idleness and decadence by moving away from the true doctrine? If this indicates anything, it only indicates the weakness of the nation and its deviation from the right path of dress and concealment, which was mentioned in the Holy Qur’an:
“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw down over them some of their cloaks. That is more likely that they will be recognized and will not be harmed. And God is Forgiving and Merciful” (59) Surah Al-Ahzab.

So what is the difference between a Muslim woman and an immoral Western woman?
We see that the dress is the same, the logic is the same, and the thinking is the same.. No, they even add to that and compete!! Women are considered an active part of the general social reality in which many obstacles and negatives surrounding the individual appear, represented by globalization and cultural, intellectual and ideological invasion. Indeed, it is a real war, an attack on all members of society. You see it in the dress and the way of wearing the hijab.

How did they change its title? How did they change it, under the name of Sharia law, revealing, naked women, as stated in the Prophet’s hadith: “At the end of time and the approach of the Hour, which is the worst of times, there will appear revealing, naked women, adorned on their heads like the humps of a lean camel, from religion, entering into temptations, inclined to desires, hastening to pleasures, making forbidden things permissible in Hell.” Immortal.” (Wasa’il Al-Shi’a, vol. 3, p. 59) The humps: the plural of the hump and the camel’s hump and the lean ones whose price has gone away. Today we see how the veil was transformed into a method similar to what the Messenger of God mentioned in the narration and forbade women from it, as if it were the hump of a camel..

We see the immodest dress with the incomplete imitation veil.. while our lady Zainab, peace be upon her, was defending From her hijab until her last breath, she was cursed and her dress was burned, and she remained steadfast and remained modest, patient, and chaste.. Aren’t all of these arrows in the body of Mrs. Zeinab, peace be upon her, and the Zainabite message??

Introduction

The life of the Prophet’s family flourished with the two noble grandsons, the two Imams: Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein, peace be upon them. They were like two moons in that noble house, which God permitted to be raised and His name mentioned in it. They absorbed the heart of their grandfather, the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, and he used to take care of them with his care, and bestowed upon them his benevolence and abundance. They are among the blessings of his soul, the scent of which absorbs all the horizons of existence.

The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, had deep within himself the deepest affection for his two sons, and he used to say: They are my fragrance in this world. His love for them was so great that he was on the pulpit giving a sermon, and Al-Hassan and Al-Hussein came, wearing red shirts, and they were walking and stumbling. He came down from the pulpit, carried them, and placed them in his hands and said: God is right when he says: And know that your wealth and your children are a trial. I looked at these two boys as they walked and stumbled. I could not wait until I interrupted my speech and raised them. He used to say to the Lady of Women, Fatima, peace be upon her: Call my two sons, smell them, and hug them to him.

During that happy period that the Prophet’s family lived and was full of loyalty and kindness from the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, a lamb was presented to the pure friend, Lady of the Women of the Worlds, Fatima, peace be upon her, and the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, began to wait for it impatiently to bless it for his beloved Fatima, and at the gate of the city of his knowledge, the Imam, Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him.

The pure Fatima al-Zahra, peace be upon her, gave birth to her blessed daughter, the like of whom no woman has been born in Islam, in terms of faith, honor, purity, chastity, and jihad. The family of the Prophet and the rest of the Companions received her with greater joy, joy, and pleasure. The Imam, Commander of the Faithful, performed the legal ceremonies on his daughter, so he called in her right ear, and resided in Left. The first percussive sound he heard was: God is great, there is no god but God, and these words are the song of the prophets, and the essence of the great values in the universes. This song was deeply imprinted in the heart of the Prophet’s granddaughter and became one of its elements and one of its components.

When the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, learned of this blessed newborn, he rushed to his family’s home, weak and sad, so he took her and his tears crystallized on the features of his honorable face, and he hugged her to his chest, and began kissing her. The Lady of Women, Fatima, peace be upon her, was astonished by her father’s crying, so she cried out and said: What makes you cry, father? May God not make an eye cry for you. He answered her in a sad voice: O Fatima, know that after me and after you, calamities and calamities will befall her.

The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, saw what devastating calamities were happening to his granddaughter, from whose horror mountains would melt, and she would be tested in a way that no other woman from Eve’s daughters had been tested with. It is natural that his family and the gate of the city of his knowledge shared the Prophet’s pain and sorrows, and Salman Al-Farsi, the close friend of the Prophet’s family, came to congratulate the Imam, the Commander of the Faithful, on his blessed daughter. He found his expression sad and sad, as he spoke of the tragedies and engagements his daughter was suffering from, and Salman shared the family’s pains and sorrows.

Zahraa the Messenger carried her blessed newborn to the Imam, so he took her and began to kiss her. She turned to him and said to him: Poison this newborn. The Imam answered her politely and humbly: I would not precede the Messenger of God. The Imam offered to the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, to name it, and he said: I would not precede my Lord. The Messenger of Heaven descended upon the Prophet and said to him: Name this newborn Zainab, for God chose this name for her. He told him what his granddaughter was suffering from the horrors of the engagement and disasters, and he and the family drowned in tears. The pure friend Zainab was nicknamed Umm Kulthum, and it was said: She was nicknamed Umm Al-Hassan.

As for her titles, they reflect her noble qualities and honorable tendencies, which are: Aqeela Bani Hashim: Aqeelah is a woman who is honorable to her people, dear in her home, and Mrs. Zainab is the best woman and the most honorable woman in the world of Arabs and Islam. This title was a badge for her descendants, so they were nicknamed Bani Aqeela. The scholar: The granddaughter of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, is one of the women scholars in the Prophet’s family. She was, as some historians say, a reference for Muslim women to turn to in their religious affairs. A worshiper of the family of Ali: Zainab was one of the worshipers of Muslim women. She did not leave a voluntary Islamic voluntary prayer without performing it. Some narrators say: She performed voluntary voluntary prayers on the harshest and most bitter night, which was the eleventh night of Muharram. Perfect: She is the most perfect woman in Islam in her virtue, chastity, and purity from impurity and deviance. Virtuous: She is one of the best Muslim women in her jihad, her service to Islam, and her tribulation for the sake of God. These are some of her titles that indicate her high status and great status.

Her life and scientific capabilities

The pure friend Zainab, peace be upon her, grew up in the house of prophecy and the place of revelation and revelation. Her mother, the Lady of the Women of the Worlds, nourished her with chastity, dignity, and good morals and etiquette. She memorized the Qur’an, taught her the rulings of Islam, and poured upon her rays of her ideals and values until she became a true image of herself. She has come a long way from her childhood in the house of honour, dignity, mercy and affection. She saw her father, the Imam, Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon her, participating with her mother, Zahra, the Messenger, in the affairs of the house, and assisting her in its tasks. Not a single word of bitterness was hesitated in the atmosphere of the house, and she saw her grandfather, the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace. And his family showered them with an abundance of his honor, reverence, kindness, and tenderness, as I witnessed the brilliant victories achieved by Islam in the military fields, and the elimination of its Quraysh opponents and their followers who worshiped idols and idols. Islam prevailed, the word of God rose high on earth, and people entered the religion of God in crowds.

The granddaughter of the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, attained the most wonderful and sublime forms of Islamic education. She watched her brother Imam Hussein venerate his brother Imam Hassan, peace be upon him, and venerate him. He did not speak a harsh word to him, nor did he raise his voice at him, nor did he sit next to him. She watched her brothers from her father, as they venerated her two brothers, Al-Hassan. And Al-Hussein, and they offered them verses of honor and reverence, and she herself was the subject of respect for her brothers, so when she visited her brother, Imam Al-Hussein, peace be upon him, he would stand up for her in reverence and honor and seat her in his place, and if she wanted to go out to visit the grave of her grandfather, the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, her father, the Imam, the Commander of the Faithful, would go with her. And her brother, Al-Hasan. The Imam, Commander of the Faithful, hastened to extinguish the light of the lanterns on the great shrine, so Imam Al-Hasan, peace be upon him, asked him about that, and he said to him: I fear that someone will look at the person of your sister Al-Hawra’.

Aqeela Banu Hashim was surrounded by an aura of reverence and reverence from her father and brothers. She is the granddaughter of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, and the heir to his ideals, values and etiquette. She also had a high status among scholars and narrators. When they narrated a hadith about the Imam, the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, during the days of the Umayyad rule, They say: Abu Zainab narrated, but they did not say: Abu Al-Hassanin narrated, and that is a tribute to her virtue and great status.

At the dawn of her youth, the granddaughter of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, was a miracle in her intelligence and genius. She memorized the Holy Qur’an, and she also memorized the hadiths of her grandfather, the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, regarding the rulings of religion, the rules of education, and the principles of morals. She memorized the immortal historical speech that her mother, the Lady of Women, Fatima, had delivered to her. Peace be upon him in the Prophet’s Mosque in protest against Abu Bakr for his assumption of the caliphate and his confiscation of Fadak, which her father, the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, bestowed upon her.

The marriage of Sayeda Zainab (pbuh)

When the lady of women, Zainab, advanced in age, the nobles and dignitaries began to propose to her and were honored to be married to her. The Imam, the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, refused to answer them, and a young man from the noblest of Banu Hashim’s boys, the most beloved to the Imam and the closest to him, proposed to her. He was his nephew: Abdullah bin Jaafar, from Noble and generous figures in the world of Arabs and Islam. The Imam responded to this and welcomed him, and we briefly review some of his affairs.

His father, Jaafar: As for Jaafar, he was - according to what the narrators say -: one of the people most similar in morals and character to the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family.

Abu Hurairah says about him: No one who wore sandals, nor rode mounts, nor stepped on the dirt after the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, was better than Jafar bin Abi Talib. He was one of the first converts to Islam, and his father Talib saw him praying with his brother, the Imam, Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, behind the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, and he said to him: Pray like your cousin, and pray on his left, and Ali was praying on his right. He had two migrations to Abyssinia, and one migration to Medina.

He was one of the most merciful people towards the poor and weak, and he was kind to Abu Hurairah and treated him kindly during his days of misery and poverty. He talked about that, saying: I would stick my stomach to gravel from hunger, and if I were to recite the verse to the man while I was with me, so that he would turn to me and feed me, and the most virtuous of people was to the poor, Jaafar bin Abi. A student used to go around and feed us whatever he had in his house, until he would bring out to us a piece of bread that had nothing in it, so we would tear it apart and lick what was in it. He came to Medina after his emigration to Abyssinia, and the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, was glad of him, and he was happy because his arrival coincided with the conquest of Khaybar. So he, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, said: I do not know which of the two I am more happy with, the coming of Ja’far or the conquest of Khaybar...

The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, planned a house for him next to the mosque, and he was beloved by him, not only because he was his cousin, but also because of his strong faith and dedication to spreading the word of Islam and spreading its principles and rulings. The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, sent him in an army to Mu’tah in the eighth year. From the Hijra, he was martyred there. The narrators say: The banner was in his right hand and it was cut off, so he raised it with his left hand. When it was cut off, he raised it with his hands, and the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, said: And God Almighty replaced it with two wings with which he could fly in Paradise wherever he wished. That's why he was called the one with the wings and the pilot.

The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, was saddened by Ja’far, so he went to his house to console his wife and children over their painful calamities. He said to his wife, Asma’: Bring me the sons of Ja’far. So she brought them to him, and he began to extend a kiss to them while his tears crystallized on the features of his honorable face. Asma’ understood the news of her husband’s testimony and said to him: O Messenger of God. , Tell you about Jafar and his companions something. He answered her in tones of sadness and sadness, saying: Yes, this day was afflicted. Asma began to mourn for her husband, and Muslim women came to console her over her painful affliction. The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, ordered that food be made for the family of Jaafar. The Lady of the Women of the Worlds, Fatima al-Zahra, peace be upon her, came to Asma to console her while she was crying, and she raised her voice, saying: Oh, his blindness. The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, began to say: For the like of Jafar, let the weeping cry.

Jaafar's martyrdom was one of the harshest calamities for the Prophet, may God bless him and his family. Through his martyrdom, he lost his dearest and most loyal cousins. Mother Asmaa: As for Abdullah’s mother, she is the honorable lady Asmaa bint Umays. She was one of the first to convert to Islam. She migrated with her husband, the immortal martyr Jaafar al-Tayyar, to Abyssinia, where she gave birth to Abdullah, Aoun, and Muhammad. She then migrated to Medina, and when Jaafar was martyred, Abu Bakr married her. She gave birth to him, Muhammad, who was one of the notables of Islam. Then Abu Bakr died, so the Imam, Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, married her, and she gave birth to him, Yahya.

She was loyal to the People of the House, peace be upon them, and was from their party. She had a close relationship with the Lady of the Women of the Worlds, Fatima al-Zahra, peace be upon her. She served her during her illness, I made a covenant with her that Aisha, daughter of Abu Bakr, would not visit her. So Aisha came to her, but Asma prevented her. She became angry and complained about her to Abu Bakr, so he reprimanded her, so she informed him of Al-Zahra’s dissatisfaction with her visit.

Asmaa was one of the best Muslim women in her chastity, purity, and loyalty to the people of the House of Prophethood. She was also one of the narrators of hadith, and historians say: She narrated sixty hadiths on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and his family. In any case, when Asmaa was married to the Imam, the Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, she served Al-Hussein and their sister Zainab, peace be upon her, and became a compassionate mother to them, caring for them as she would care for her own children, because they are the remaining remnants of the descendants of the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, and they were loyal to her as the greatest of all devotion. They thanked her for her care and kindness. Abdullah: And we return to talking about Abdullah bin Jaafar, for he was one of the most distinguished men of Islam and a master of Banu Hashim. Muawiyah said about him: He is worthy of all honor, and by God, no one preceded him in honor except that he preceded him.

He was called the Sea of Judgment, and it was said: There was no one more generous than him in Islam. He was praised and generous in giving. He was told: Give this black man like this, and he said: If he is black, then his hair is white. He deserved, with what he said, more than what he got, and did we give him anything else? What wears out, and He gave us praise that is narrated, and praise that remains. He was rebuked for his great kindness and kindness to people, and he said: God has made me accustomed to a habit, and I have made people accustomed to a habit, so I fear that if I break it, it will be cut off from me.

Sayeda Zainab peace be upon her said: I am not afraid of the lack of nothingness. As long as I fear God in His generosity, whenever I spend, He gives it back to me, a Lord of abundant blessings. The narrators conveyed many signs of his generosity and generosity, and God extended the supplications of the Prophet, may God bless him and his family, to him, so he was one of the wealthiest people of Medina, and in addition to his generosity, he was one of those of virtue, as he narrated on the authority of his uncle, the Imam, Commander of the Faithful, peace be upon him, and on the authority of Al-Hasan and Al-Hussein, peace be upon them.

Her offspring: This venerable master was blessed with the lady of women, Zainab, peace be upon her, a group of distinguished masters, namely:

1- Aoun: He was one of the most prominent young men of Banu Hashim in his virtue and perfection. He accompanied his uncle, Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, when he emigrated from Yathrib to Iraq, and he accompanied him on his journey. When it was the tenth day of Muharram, the eternal day in the world of sorrows, he presented himself to martyrdom in front of me. His uncle, so he emerged into the battle zone, shaking:

If you deny me, then I am the son of Jaafar, a martyr who spoke the truth in Paradise, blooming and flying therein with a green wing. This is enough honor among those who are gathered. He identified himself with this disgrace, as he traced his lineage back to his grandfather, the great martyr Jaafar, whose hands were cut off for the sake of Islam, and this is enough honor and pride for him. He made the boy fight heroes, not filled with these destructive monsters, so a malicious scoundrel, Abdullah Al-Ta’i, attacked him and killed him, and Suleiman bin Qanah mourned him. By saying: And I mourn if I cry for the help of his brother, who is not on their behalf with betrayal, for by my life, I have afflicted my relatives, so my heart is on the long affliction.

2- Ali Al-Zeinbi.
3- Muhammad.
4- Abbas.
5- Mrs. Umm Kulthum 33:

The marriage of Umm Kulthum

This lady reached the age of women, and was unique in her beauty, chastity, and respect among her family and the general public of Banu Hashim. Muawiyah wanted to get closer to Banu Hashim and strengthen his position in the hearts of Muslims, by betrothing her to his son Yazid, so he wrote to his governor in Yathrib, Marwan. Ibn al-Hakam wrote a book in which he said:

As for what follows: The Commander of the Faithful loves to return familiarity, extend generosity, and maintain ties of kinship, so if my letter reaches you, propose to Abdullah bin Jaafar, his daughter Umm Kulthum, to Yazid, son of the Commander of the Faithful, and desire the dowry from him.

Muawiyah thought that his false authority and the huge sums of money he spent would tempt the Alawite masters who were raised on dignity and honor, and everything that elevates a person, and he did not know that his authority and money were not worth the clip of a fingernail to them. When Muawiyah's letter reached Marwan, Imam Hussein was afraid, because he knew that he would ruin the matter for him, and Hussein traveled, so Marwan took advantage of the opportunity of his travel and hastened to Abdullah bin Jaafar, so he showed him Muawiyah's letter, and he began to favor the matter for him, and asked him to speed it up because that would be a solution. For the same reason, and to gather the word, and the matter was not hidden from Abdullah, he said to Marwan: Her uncle Al-Hussein is in Yanbu. And I have no way to proceed with this matter without seeking his opinion and approval.

When Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, returned to Yathrib, Abdullah bin Jaafar hurried to him, so he presented the matter to him, and Marwan did not answer. Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, wondered about that, as how could his sister’s daughter be with the immoral Banu Umayyad, the grandson of Abu Sufyan, so the Imam, peace be upon him, went to his sister. Zainab, peace be upon her, and he ordered her to bring her daughter, Umm Kulthum. When she appeared in front of him, he said to her: Your cousin Al-Qasim bin Muhammad bin Jaafar has more right to you, and perhaps you desire a large amount of dowry. The girl responded to her uncle’s opinion, and her wise mother welcomed it. Her father, Abdullah, was satisfied with Imam Hussein’s desire, and the Imam gave her a large dowry.

The Imam kept the matter secret, so when the wedding night came, he held a public invitation in which a large crowd of people from the city gathered, and among those invited was: Marwan, and he thought that he had been invited to fulfill what Muawiyah desired of marrying Mrs. Umm Kulthum to his son Yazid, so he stood up as a preacher and praised Muawiyah and what he intended. He combined the word and the connection of family ties, and when he finished his speech, Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, rose and announced that he had married Mrs. Umm Kulthum to her cousin, Al-Qasim bin Muhammad bin Jaafar. When Marwan heard it, he became angry and angry, and lost his mind. The Imam had thwarted his desire, so he raised his voice, saying: Be treacherous, O Hussein. Marwan left, stumbling over his own clothes, and the matter ended with Muawiyah. He became angry with Hussein, and this upset him, as his attempts to deceive the Alawites and deceive the Muslims by marrying his son into the Prophet’s family failed.

History of the shrine

The role model of Lady Zainab (pbuh)

Constancy, will, and determination:
It is difficult for a woman to maintain her steadfastness and composure in circumstances similar to the Karbala incident, depending on the woman’s emotional nature. If it does happen, it is rare and needs explanation. Lady Zainab’s positions of steadfastness are many. There are specific positions, and there is the general view of her role in Karbala, which was characterized by a steadfastness that was rarely matched in the history of men, not just women. Its only explanation is the faith dimension of a woman who was raised in the house of prophecy and imamate. When the convoy of captives left the land of Karbala, the army brought the women and children to the battlefield, and the scene was majestic and terrifying. Here was the role of Mrs. Zainab, the leader who rose above the pain and controlled her feelings. She maintained her composure and suppressed all the sadness and pain that rose within her.

Fulfilling the legal obligation:
This characteristic also stems from the faith dimension. But it is in circumstances that conflict with human desire, energy and ability under normal circumstances. It was as if she was presenting to her imam the horse that would lead him to the battlefield and would not return after that, and he did not order her to bring it, but rather asked the women present: Who will present my horse to me? She introduced it while talking to herself, “Which sister offers her brother Jawad death?” (The Killing of Al-Hussein, p. 308, Al-Muqrim Abd Al-Razzaq). This initiative is difficult in normal circumstances, and since she actually presented it / has she risen above the sister’s feelings and emotions? Here is a glimpse of respect for the assignment and commitment to it, even if it is difficult and painful.

Being familiar with worship:
It is enough for us to witness that a fifty-year-old woman would stand up to perform the night prayer, which it is reported had never interrupted in her life, neither before Karbala nor after it. Imam Al-Sajjad saw her on the eve of the battle, praying it from a sitting position, and he was not surprised because she was praying it was desirable in those circumstances. ( Zainab Al-Kubra - Jaafar bin Muhammad Al-Naqdi, p. 112).

High morals:
Morals may seem to a person like Mrs. Zainab, peace be upon her, to be a definite and attainable characteristic. But given the circumstances of Karbala, morals seem supernatural. What's special is to be polite with your opponent! After the arduous journey of captivity, one of the soldiers was tasked with returning the caravan to the city, and he was gentle in his dealings with them, asking them about their needs and being kind to them. When they arrived in Medina, Al-Aqeela Zainab, peace be upon her, wanted to reward him for his good treatment, and she had no money to offer him, so she collected what was left of her and her sister’s jewelry, and presented it to him apologetically, saying: “This is your reward for accompanying us with good deeds” (Taikh Al-Tabari, vol. 6, p. 266).

Beautiful patience:
It is common that patience is associated with enduring difficulties and trials, and this endurance may be due to reluctance and hatred, or it may be merely a remission of anger. The Holy Qur’an offers us a type of patience: “And give good news to those who are patient - those who, when a calamity befalls them, say, ‘Indeed, to Allah we belong, and to Him we shall return.’ Those are upon them blessings from their Lord and mercy, and it is those who are guided.” (155-156) Surah Al-Baqarah is also patience with submission, but it carries the satisfaction of its owner, because it has He appointed his Lord for what befell him. But for him to offer his misfortune as an offering: “Oh God, accept this offering from us,” and for him to see it as a beautiful thing with all its sorrows: “I saw nothing but beautiful.” This is patience that prompts us to ask: Who is that lady (so to speak) who stands over the corpse of her brother whose neck has just been slit? So your first reaction to what you see is to look to the sky and offer it as an offering.

The intensity of chastity and majesty with the strength of boldness:
We may see chastity and boldness as two opposites, as the chaste woman is the one who “does not see men and they do not see her,” and the bold woman is the one who does not leave a situation of appearance and socialization without being present in it. In fact, Mrs. Zainab is the best model for creating a balance between the two sides. When we bring some of her positions together, we understand the required and natural psychological balance that we must adopt.

Her defense of the Imamate:
History conveys that Lady Zainab, peace be upon her, was a guardian of the life of the Imamate, represented by the person of Imam Zain al-Abidin, peace be upon her, in more than one incident: In the battle, where Imam Zain al-Abidin, peace be upon her, rose to fight despite the severity of his illness, so Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, called her: “Take him and imprison him.” So that the earth will not be devoid of the descendants of the family of Muhammad.” (Zainab al-Kubra, M.S., p. 30) Do we really take Al-Aqeela as a role model?? In fact, when we talk about Mrs. Zainab, peace be upon her, the lessons that we can benefit from are crowded, and the space for discussion narrows no matter how wide it is, and we are confused about which ones to mention and which ones to keep silent about. We say that this exceptional personality was found in exceptional circumstances, and he excelled with all the strength he was given in order to revive the religion and preserve the divine remembrance. So let there be Zainabiyat among us (it is not an easy matter), we need to strengthen our foundations.

Starting with the faith dimension, to defending the Imamate and confronting tyrants, to waiting for relief through the work of preaching and spreading the religion so that it appears throughout the religion, and to watch ourselves from the fierce attack lurking against us as women, girls, men, children, and the elderly... Yes, this attack must be confronted in all ways, with modesty, and chastity. By being patient in obedience, being patient in refraining from disobedience, and feeling fully responsible for taking care of our daughters from the absence of modern communication, which is no less dangerous than narcotic pills. This type of destructive development has entered without permission into every home and family. Rather, it has become in the possession of our young ones as well as our elders, and unfortunately it is now being used illegally. It is not permissible morally or religiously, and forbidden mixing and illegal relationships have become under the cover of religion!! What religion is this? The religion of Muhammad, peace be upon him, or the religion of Yazid? Let us pay attention and wake up before it is too late, and let us be Zainabiyat in word and deed.
