My condolences to the Imam of our Time (atfs) and our dear Holy Prophet Muhammad (saws), Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib Amir al Momineen (as), Sayyida Fatima al Zahra (sa), Imam Hassan (as), Imam Hussain (as), Umm Kulthoom (sa) and to the Ahlul Bayt (as), and humanity on the tragedy of the Martyrdom of Sayeda Zainab bint Ali (sa) on the 15th Rajab.
“When the Angel Jibra'il came to the Prophet (saws) and conveyed the name that was to be hers, he began to weep. The Prophet (saws) asked why Jibra'il wept and he answered:
"O’ Prophet of Allah, from early on in life this girl will remain entangled in tribulations and trials in this world.- First she will weep over your separation (from this world); thereafter she will bemoan the loss of her mother, then her father, and then her brother Hassan. After all this she will be confronted with the trials of the land of Karbala and the tribulations of that lonely desert, as a result of which her hair will turn grey and her back will be bent.”
When the members of the family (salawat) heard this prophecy they all broke down in tears.”
May Allah (swt) forever bless the role model for humanity, Sayeda Zainab (sa), the Mother of Misfortune and the icon of Patience and Faith, for all the oppression and tribulations she endured and for the beauty she always saw and inspired.
May Allah (swt) eternally curse her oppressors and those who conspired against her and her Holy Family (as).

Peace be upon you—who guarded the Imam on the Day of Ashura when he was killed, and sacrificed her soul for the salvation of Zayn al-Abidin at the gathering of the most wretched one (i.e. Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad), and addressed a speech, just like (Imam) Ali’s, in the streets of Kufa despite the presence of her enemies.
Peace and Allah’s Mercy and Blessings be upon you, O mother of misfortunes; Zainab 🏴
