« تَوَفَّنِي مُسْلِمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ »

(سورة يوسُف - ١٠١)

[rerealshamari]

Syeda Zainab (S.A) did not merely teach patience; she redefined it!

Her patience was not silence before oppression, but unwavering faith in Allah (SWT) while carrying unbearable grief.

She transformed tragedy into truth, tears into testimony, and captivity into a message that echoed through history.

Every believer who endures hardship with dignity walks a path illuminated by her.

🌹 Lady Fatima Zahra (sa) said,

“All Praise Is For Allah, He Who Does Not Forget One Who Remembers Him And Does Not Disappoint One Who Calls To Him And Does Not Cut The Hopes Of One Who Hopes In Him."

✒️ Sahifa Zehra (sa) 🖋

[maihonhassan]

For He is of the highest kingdom

Where all love is in his domain

Where all kings bow before him and say

We know no King but Hussain As

Islam has existed in one form or another all along from the beginning and will continue to exist till the end of time.

[fachoarif]

"Denying the attack on Fatima's (s) house is tantamount to denying Ghadir and Karbala. The incident of attack on Fatima's (s) house is true just as Islam is true, the messengers are true and the hereafter is true.."

[manamrazinaqvi]

When Fatima [s.a] attained the age of puberty, it became necessary for her to marry. But she [s.a] needed a person who must be her match. So that he would appreciate her status and perfection and maturity of virtues and he would know what was the real value and virtue of a human being. This is the very aim of Islam, which as a result strengthens the marital relations.

When she [s.a] became marriage bound many men sent their messages for asking her [s.a] hand in marriage. But the Prophet [s.a.w.w] said, "I am waiting for the revelation in this connection."

The revelation came and Fatima's [s.a] husband was also nominated. God ordered the Prophet [s.a.w.w], "Oh my prophet get the light (Noor) married to the light ....., get Fatima (S.A.) married with Ali (A.S.)."

When Ali [a.s] approached the Prophet [s.a.w.w] to request the hand of Fatima [s.a] in marriage, although he had nothing with him from the wealth of the world, yet he possessed a gem, which was the reflection of every thing including piety and human nobility.

The Prophet [s.a.w.w] having acceded to his request entered the house to ask Fatima [s.a] her opinion about it. He said to her "Oh daughter you know fully well that Ali [a.s] is the one who was the first ever faithful out of the lot. I had prayed to God, to give the best husband for you. Therefore, God has selected Ali [a.s] for your husband, so what is your opinion?" Fatima [s.a] remained silent. The Prophet [s.a.w.w] took her silence as the token of her being agreed and got her married with him.

Marriage Ceremonies

After the aggregation of the tribe of Bani Hashim and the friends and relations by the order of Prophet [s.a.w.w] took place, he [s.a.w.w] delivered a Khutba (religious speech), sermon, and got Fatima [s.a] married to Ali [a.s] over a dowry equivalent to four hundred Masqal Silver (one Masqal comes to nearly 3.45 grams).

A companion (Sahabi) stated, "The Prophet [s.a.w.w] got a sheep slaughtered and invited a few persons and made them witnesses upon the marriage. After one month of the marriage in the 2nd Hijra on the night of "zaffaf" (marriage night) the Prophet [s.a.w.w] held Fatima [s.a] by her hand and handing her hand over to Ali [a.s] said, "Oh Ali, Fatima is the best wife for you." There after, he addressed Fatima [s.a] and said "Oh Fatima, Ali is a good husband for you." Then he said. "Now, both of you move towards your real home."

The women of Bani Hashim, Ansar and Muhajireen, after taking their dinner, rode Fatima [s.a] on the camel of the Prophet [s.a.w.w] and took her along to Ali's [a.s] house with great fervor. Ali [a.s] and Fatima [s.a] started living near Quba mosque at a distance of eight kilometers from Medina where the Prophet [s.a.w.w] had stayed on migration from Mecca and had waited a week for Ali [a.s] to join him.

After some time Ali [a.s] came to the city and selected a house adjacent to the house of the Prophet [s.a.w.w]. Because the Prophet [s.a.w.w] could not tolerate the separation of Ali [a.s] and Fatima [s.a], since, it was a great shock for him. The house of Ali [a.s] which was made of mud and date timber was exactly opposite to the window of the Prophet's [s.a.w.w] house so that he could daily see them.

This was the same house of Ahl ul-bayt [a.s] of Purity and piety, which was praised by the Holy Quran and was away from all kinds of impurity (sins). The house where in Ali [a.s] was the father, Fatima Zahra [s.a] the mother and Zainab [s.a], Kulsoom [s.a], Hassan [a.s] and Hussain [a.s] were the children.

This home is a memorial one for all the races of every age.
