At a ceremony that was held on the birth anniversary of Lady Zaynab (a.s.), the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Lady Zaynab (a.s.) is the best and greatest narrator of the Karbala event, who narrated the event without any distortion. It can be said that today, wherever there is a struggle against oppression, as well as wealth, force, and hypocrisy, the fighters are graduates from the school of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and his sister Zaynab (a.s.).”
ABWA Official Website – On Sunday afternoon, November 19, 2023, a celebration on the auspicious birth anniversary of Lady Zaynab (a.s.) was held with the speech of Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Al-Nabi (p.b.u.h) Mosque, Narmak neighborhood, Tehran.
After congratulating the birth of Lady Zaynab (a.s.) and Nurses Day and thanking the medical staff who serve the patients, Ayatollah Ramezani appreciated the extensive activities of Masjid Al-Nabi (p.b.u.h). “The mosque, in the true sense, should be a base, in which, in addition to the expression of divine teachings, the ethics of AhlulBayt (a.s.) and divine decrees are promoted,” he added.
“Religiosity is the next stage of religious knowledge and belief. By knowing and believing the religion correctly, we will become religious. Religious people are those who know religion and believe in it, and the most important belief is the belief that a believer has in God Almighty. It definitely affects a person’s morals, manners, and behavior, and makes him humble,” he clarified.
Further, about Lady Zaynab (a.s.), the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly stated, “Lady Zaynab (a.s.) lived about 55-56 years. In the first 5 years of her life, which coincided with the era after the migration of her grandfather Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) to Medina, the conquest of Mecca, the establishment of the Prophetic government, and the time of Muslim authority, which was a golden era in terms of the expansion of Islamic society, she did not face any problems.”
“After the demise of the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h), Lady Zaynab (a.s.) always faced hardships, and suffered so much in her life that one of her epithets is the “ام المصائب” (Ummul Masaib: Mother of Afflictions.) More than 50 epithets have been mentioned for Lady Zaynab (a.s.), some of which indicate the spiritual, scientific, and mystical positions of that noble lady. Afflictions were the cause of Lady Zaynab’s (a.s.) high spiritual positions,” he added.
Referring to the 50-year life of Lady Zaynab (a.s.), Ayatollah Ramazani said, “With a comprehensive and detailed study of the life of Lady Zaynab (a.s.), we understand that women can be influential and play a role in society.”
“The role of women as a teacher at home to educate the human race in human society is a crucial and decisive role,” added the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“Man cannot manage others until he is able to manage himself. Because of her servitude to God and her knowledge of Him, Lady Zaynab (a.s.) attained the power of management over herself, and then she achieved the management of others. She handled many critical scenes. Lady Zaynab (a.s.) reached the position of God’s servitude, the position of self-management. Many do not understand the management on the scene, and not everyone has the power and ability to come to the scene and manage the crisis,” he continued.
“Lady Zaynab (a.s.) reached a position where she could manage others. The requirement of management over others is “شرح صدر” (Sharah Sadr: Expansion of the Breast.) The management of Lady Zaynab (a.s.) began in the month of Muharram, but the milestone of her management was in the Levant and in Yazid’s palace. At that time, the management of Lady Zaynab (a.s.) reached a stage where after three days, Yazid’s Palace became a mourning hall for Imam Hussain (a.s.),” added the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
“Lady Zaynab (a.s.) is the best and greatest narrator of the Karbala event, who narrated the event without any distortion. It can be said that today, wherever there is a struggle against oppression, as well as wealth, force, and hypocrisy, the fighters are graduates from the school of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and his sister Zaynab (a.s.),” he added.
“Lady Zaynab (a.s.) resisted oppression while standing by the friend of God (Imam Hussain (a.s.)), and gained knowledge, love, and obedience towards the friend of God. 50 years of her life were spent like this,” Ayatollah Ramazani said.
“Some claimed that Lady Zaynab (a.s.) was a bewildered traveler. In response to them, it should be said that Lady Zaynab (a.s.) was a purposeful journeyer. We should learn from this noble lady of the Islamic world the lesson of resistance against the adversities that happen in life to a true believer,” said the Secretary General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.
At the end of his speech, referring to the brutal slaughter of the oppressed Palestinian people and the displacement of millions of residents of the Gaza Strip, Ayatollah Ramezani said, “Gaza is a big prison in the world, and the Zionist regime has the most cases of human rights violations and international statements and resolutions.”
