30 August 2024 |Mahjubah Magazinefar as I know, there is no known biography of Lady Khadijah (pbuh); Therefore, we agreed that each of us would write a comprehensive biography about one of the great women of Islam. I was immediately fascinated by the personality of Hazrat Zainab (PBUH), because I continued my studies on the life of her mother and brother, as well as the research I had done on the Karbala incident. The reason for writing both books was my concern that Shia scholars had not written a complete and academic biography of the great women of the Prophet%u2019s (PBUH) household based on the original Arabic sources. This is what I have tried to do in both books. I have also tried to present the lives of Lady Fatimah (PBUH) and Lady Zainab (PBUH) as examples of truth and justice to the nonMuslim and English-speaking world.From your point of view, what were the main features of Hazrat Zainab%u2019s life?There is great devotion to Lady [Hazrat] Zainab (PBUH) in the Shia world, but academic research on her life is very scarce. This issue leads to the lack of a detailed and accurate description of their situation. When we don%u2019t have a detailed biography, it leads to the creation of legends or spirituality on the edge of knowing the main existence of that person, and most of the time, these marginal concepts cause us to not know it well and make it difficult for us to know it accurately, and that that person It will not be available to us.The main thing about Lady Zainab (PBUH) is that she is not inaccessible. She is a real human being as a wife, daughter and mother, where Muslim and non-Muslim men and women pay attention to her and is known as a model of pure truth. In this book, I have tried to make him available to ordinary men and women who may not be involved in the fight against oppression and justice. Their encounters with everyday life may be normal, but they are nonetheless constantly faced with moral choices and personal stances on justice.It is the fact that he went to Karbala and his interventions on the battlefield and beside it, his brave stand against the 2 great oppressors of his time and his crushing indictment of Yazid%u2019s leadership, were more than telling the truth in front of the ruling power of his time. This approach of Mrs. [Hazrat] Zainab (PBUH) was a decisive frankness. The truths he expressed were not just his personal or special concepts. Rather, he sought the truth and revealed it. If you seek peace, you must walk the path of justice. But the realization of justice is not possible unless all people know the truth and express it. Lady [Hazrat] Zainab (PBUH) was a perfect example of seeking the truth and taking steps in the path of justice.You published another book about Karbala, can you explain a little about this book?My latest book, published in February 2021, is called ANGELS HASTENING The Karbal%u0101%u02be Dreams. This work is about the dreams that were narrated before the incident of Karbala about how [Imam] Hussain (AS) was martyred. Gabriel revealed these dreams to the Prophet (PBUH) as inspiration and revelation. The important part of this book is based on the famous hadith %u201cQaroorah%u201d. This narration is narrated in Sunni and Shia sources. Some have quoted the saying of Umm Salma that [Imam] Hussain (AS) entered upon the Prophet (PBUH). At that time, I was by the entrance door, suddenly I saw an object in the hand of the Prophet (PBUH) that he was kissing. While [Imam] Hussain (AS) was sleeping on the knee of the Prophet (PBUH), I asked what is it that you are kissing and shedding tears?The Prophet (PBUH) said: Gabriel brought soil from a land where my son will be martyred by the hands of my Ummah. Then he gave that soil to me and said: O Umm Salma! If you see this soil turned into blood, know that my son has been martyred. Umm Salma put it in a container and looked at it every day. Umm Salma says: On a sad day, that soil turned into blood. In this hadith, the Prophet (PBUH) also mentions the name of the land of Karbala. In this book, I have dealt with different angles of this issue by relying on Islamic sources.
