🌷 the Divine Light of Prophethood, from her grandfather,
🌷Piety and purity, from her mother.
🌷Knowledge, patience and valour from her father.
🌷Courage, candor, kindness and steadfastness from her brothers.
🌿7.. Zainab is the Light from the Lights! She is, therefore, bound to be the !
🌿8. Zainab bintay Ali , at a very young age, begins to impart the light of knowledge and education, to the deprived and oppressed girls of the Arab society in Medina.📜📖
🌿9. She begins teaching the disciplines for a just society as taught by the Holy Prophet Muhammed Salutations of Allah and his Angels Upon him, from the Holy Quran.
🌿10. She would highlight the rights of the Parents,
the rights of females from the chapters of the Quran, such as chapter 4 Al Nisa, The Women.
The rights of the orphans,
The rights of the needy and so on.
🌿11. Zainab binte Ali is then married to her cousin Abdullah bin Jawfer Al Tayyaar and the couple are blessed over the period of time with one daughter and 3 sons.
🌿12. The political situations were all in the knowledge of our Lady Zainab, she definitely was one of the youngest Companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammed Salutations of Allah and his Angels Upon him.
🌿13. She knew that before her birth, her grandfather had to defend the believers of one true God from the tyranny of the cruel Arab lords.
🌿14. Her father Ali(Salutations Upon Him) had fought many defensive battles at the very front, right next to the Prophet Muhammed.
🌿15. Zainab bintay Ali knows that The defeated tyrants and their tribesmen had in many cases, just literally surrendered for the time being only.
🌿16. She learns that her grandfather had made a peace treaty with the deniers of the religion of Islam, the treaty of Hudaibiya literally exposed the wickedness of the infidels.
🌿17. So initially those groups, specifically the ummayads,
with the exception of Hazrat Uthaman (R.A), the companion of the Holy Prophet(Salutations of Allah and His Angels Upon Him),
were the opponents of the true religion of God.
🌿18. After being defeated, most of them embraced Islam only to deceive, hence this class, comprised those who the Holy Quran calls, the hypocrites!
💔19. Zainab bintay Ali observes how those cause trouble and chaos during the lifetime of the Holy Prophet and later on throughout the period of the first three caliphs and were the instigators of the killings of the 2nd caliph, Hazrat Omar (R.A) and the third caliph, Hazrat Uthaman(R.A).
💔20. She observes that her father Imam Ali (Salutations Upon Him)had to eventually fight against those tyrants who had agains grouped up against the Islam to hijack the true system of justice for a civilized society.
💔21. Zainab witnesses Her father Ali (Aleh Salam) is Martyred, after fighting three battles in less then three years against the opponents and the rebel groups, as a result of the conspiracies by the Ummayads.
💔22. Her brother Imam Hassan(Salutations Upon Him) assembled the forces to continue to fight the tyrant of Banu Umayyah
The cunning remains the cunning, Muawiya son of abu sufiyan, offers a peace treaty!
💔23. Imam Hassan(Aleh Salam), following the footsteps of his grandfather the Holy Prophet Muhammed(S), signs the treaty only to expose this tyrant's real intentions.
💔24. Zainab's eldest brother , Imam Hassan(Salutations Upon Him), soon after the treaty, is murdered,
through poisoning by the same group and their allies.
💔25. After 11 years of patiently bearing the agony of witnessing every term of the treaty presented by Imam Hassan(Aleh Salam), violated and crushed by the tyrant Muawiya.
💔26. When Zainab's next eldest brother Imam Hussain(Salutations Upon Him) rose to evidently,
loudly,
and to clearly expose the hypocrite and the tyrants,
and to once again announce the true spirit of the Divine, our Lady Bibi Zainab(Aleh Salam) joined her brother in his mission toward the land of the Karbala.
💔27. She at the age of 56 along with her family, brothers, sisters and children, stands in the face of the brutality, the tyranny and the corruption of the son of the dead Muawiya son of abu sufiyaan of the ummayads.
💔28. Her brothers, nephews and the companions of her elder brother Imam Hussain are Martyred
Two of her sons Own and Muhammed, are Martyred,
💔29. After the Martyrdom of all the seventy two Martyrs (Salutations Upon Them All) of the Karbala , Lady Zainab stands as the leader along with the youngest of the female members of the family of the Holy Prophet Muhammed(Salutationsof Allah and His Angels Upon Him), guarding the son of her brother Imam Hussain, the young Imam Ali bin Hussain Zainul Abideen(Salutations Upon Them), who is severely ill at the time.
💔30. The remaining Family members of the Holy Prophet(Salutations of Allah and His Angels Upon Him and His Progeny) are now being taken, as the prisoners of war.
They have to be taken to the courts of the tyrants
💔31. That journey is not an easy journey at all. The family of the Holy Prophet is taken as the captives, this is the most terrifying journey that human history has ever seen.
💔32. The bodies of those Martyrs are mutilated and left unburied on the plains of Karbala,
their heads are severed,
and put on the point of the lances
and raised to display.
💔33.The children of the Prophet Muhammad's family, his grand daughters are chained and humiliated and tortured throughout the the journey from Karballa to Kufa, Iraq
and from Kufa, Iraq to Damascus, Syria.
💔34. So the role of the Bibi Zainab bintay Imam Ali (Aleh Salam) is that of the most influential female leader in the entire history of Islam, in fact in the entire known history of the human kind as a woman, she met the most unimaginable challenges.
💔35. When the family of Prophet Muhammad (Salutations of Allah and His Angels Upon Him) was presented as the prisoners of war In the courts of the tyrants of the ummayads, the sermons of Our Holy Lady Bibi Zainab Salutations Upon her,
her younger sister;
Umm Kulsoom Salutations Upon her,
and The son of Imam Hussain Imam Zainul Abideen (Salutations Upon Him),
shook the courts of Yazid , disappointing the tyrants son of ziyaad and Yazid. So much so that the tyrants had to let the remaining family members of the Holy Prophet go, knowing that if they will not let them go their kingdom will be toppled very soon.
💔36. After having returned to Medina ,
Bibi Zainab continued to teach and preach about the message of Imam Hussain,
Salutations Upon Him,
she would deliver lectures in congregations, called 'majaalis',
to make the common people aware of what went on in the plains of Karbala?
And how all the martyrs stood in the face of the tyranny of Yeah zeed?
And how the Divine Light shone from the severed head of the Holy Imam Hussain Salutations Upon Him,
and how everyone witnessed from Karbala throughout the journey to Kufa, Iraq, and to Damascus Syria The Holy head of Imam Hussain, reciting the Holy Quran without his Holy Body.
💔37. The governors of Yazeed, could not tolerate this teaching and preaching of the Leading granddaughter of the Holy Prophet Muhammed Salutations of Allah and his Angels Upon him and his Progeny.
💔38.They were afraid, as cowards of course are, that this Woman's leadership may cause an uprising against their corruption and tyranny.
Therefore, they raised their non-manly concerns to Yazeed, against Holy Lady Zainab daughter of Imam Ali (Salutations Upon Him).
And eventually upon the official directives of that tyrant,
the granddaughter of the Holy Prophet of Islam was exiled to Damascus, Syria, in the year 62 A.H.
💔39. There in Damascus, as well, Our Leader Bibi Zainab Aleh Salam, did not stop her teachings of the true order of God Almighty.
She was Martyred in the same year of her exile, in the month of Rajab, on the 15th, year 62 After Hijra , March 30, 682 Anno Domini,
(Burial place: Damascus, Syria).
💔40. Contiual attempts have been made to diminish her role, her great contribution by the tyrants within Islam but impact of this Leader remains eternal.
