It never comes as a surprise to me: the character of Sayeda Zainabع.
Let me ask you: would you expect any less from the lady in whose veins runs the blood of the same Zahraس who stood in a court full of munafiqeen and fought for fadak?
Does it surprise you that she stood firm in the face of zulm and oppression when her fatherع taught her nothing less?
Does it surprise you even though she shares the blood of Hussainع who was butchered in front of her eyes and he preferred being slaughtered to giving bayat to those who would do nothing but taint and damage deen e Haq?
She carries in her the blood of Haider e Karrarع and Fatima az-Zahraس. She is jabl as-sabr; a mountain of patience. But what is a mountain compared to her; she could shatter them all with her resilience and a single line that she utters.
'I saw nothing but beauty.'
