August 2024 |Mahjubah Magazine37Bani Bakr Tribe WomanDuring the afternoon of Ashura, a woman from the Bani Bakr tribe, whose husband was in Omar Saad%u2019s army, courageously took up a sword and called on her tribe for help in defending the daughters of the Messenger of God, highlighting a strong sense of devotion and bravery.The faculty member at the Women and Family Research Institute pointed out that defending defenseless children and women transcends religious boundaries; it is a universal human issue, akin to current events in Gaza.Khawli%u2019s WifeHighlighting the significance of spiritual experiences, it was noted that Khawli%u2019s wife hosted Imam Hussain (AS) head in her home and had profound revelations and insights. This highlights how women can achieve deep understanding through spiritual experiences.Hind the wife of YazidThe scholar recounted the following by referring to a dream that Yazid%u2019s wife had: Following the Shaam Majlis event, Yazid%u2019s wife inquired if it was the head of Imam Hussain (AS) the son of Lady Fatima (SA). After confirming this, she shared her dream in which she saw the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Imam Ali (AS), Lady Zahra (SA), and renowned women such as Mary, Hajar, Sarah, and Khadijah mourning. The Prophet wept and turned to prophet Adam saying %u201cO Father of human! Don%u2019t you see what the rebels did to my child?%u201d This caused Adam along with his attendants and angels to weep as well.Darrat al-SadadfShe stated that Darrat al-Sadadf was martyred while on her way to defend Imam Hussain (AS). When she went to support Imam Hussain%u2019s head, she uttered the words: %u201cAfter the leaders of the people are killed, there is no good in life.%u201dThe member of the Women and Family Research Institute%u2019s scientific faculty pointed out that using the phrase %u201cleader of the people%u201d indicates that at a time when many elders did not recognize it, this woman acknowledged Imam Hussain (AS) as the leader of the people.Funeral Sessions Led by WomenOrganizing funeral gatherings and speaking out against the injustices done to the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH) was another important role played by women. This was especially crucial due to attempts made by Yazid to portray them as Kharijites who rebelled against the ruler.Sakinah and Umm KulthumSharif highlighted Sakinah%u2019s articulate expression of what happened to Ahl al-Bayt (AS) and the powerful sermons delivered by Umm Kulthum, which underscored these women%u2019s deep understanding. In one of her sermons in Sham, Umm Kulthum stated: %u201cThe seal and love have been removed from your hearts.%u201d This indicates that crimes committed are a result of love being stripped from their hearts, leading to a lack of empathy and understanding.Umm SalamahShe added: A woman unrelated by blood to Ahl al-Bayt (AS), is known for her deep knowledge and insight. One day, she dreamt of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, with a sad face and dusty clothes. When Umm Salamah%u2019s neighbors informed her of Imam Hussain%u2019s (AS) martyrdom in Karbala, it became clear that the enemy%u2019s plan to reach Madinah earlier was foiled due to her dream. Additionally, when Imam Hussain (AS) left Madinah, he entrusted his will and other trusts to Umm Salamah with instructions to hand them over whenever his son came to her. After his martyrdom, Umm Salamah fulfilled this request by giving the trusts to Imam Sajjad (AS), highlighting her trusted position among Ahl alBayt (AS)
