Zaynab — Heroine of Karbala

Zaynab bint Ali, daughter of Imam Ali and Fatimah Zahra, and sister of Imams Hasan and Husayn, is one of the pivotal figures in Islamic history. She was not only present during the tragic events of Karbala but also played a crucial role in preserving the message of Ashura after the martyrdom of her brother, Imam Husayn.

Zaynab al-Kubra displayed unparalleled courage and patience, standing against her oppressors and denouncing Yazid’s tyranny in her speeches in Kufa and Damascus. Her profound and insightful words conveyed the spirit of Ashura and the message of Imam Husayn to future generations.

Her bravery, steadfastness, and piety have made Zaynab an enduring example for Muslim women. On her birthday, we remember her message of Ashura and admire her resilience in the face of oppression.
