Amir-ul-Momineen -asws was the adornment of excellences and Syeda Zainab -asws was his -asws adornment.Syeda Zainab -asws had brothers -asws who were the youths of paradise namely Imam Hasan -asws , Imam Hussain -asws and a sister -asws who was a year younger Syeda Umm-e-Kulsoom -asws .
Syeda Zainab -asws had many titles of which we have listed some below; Waliyatul Allah -azwj Syeda Zainab -asws has the title of ‘Waliyatul Allah’ -azwj and is vested with authority on the universe and moreover she -asws also has the authority over this authority. Her -asws authority is such that in Kufa, when she -asws wished to deliver a sermon, the whole atmosphere was rife with shrieking noises and loud sounds. Men and animals, both were making a lot of noises.
Nobody could have quelled such a noisy mob. Man may become dumb of fear of tyranny but same cannot be said with animals. Imam Ali Ibn Hussain -asws said; “The moment my aunt Zainab -asws gesticulated at the people, then their breathing slowed down and bells which were dangling in the necks of animals stopped ringing……..” [3] These words of the Holy Imam -asws clearly shows the extent of authority, which Syeda Zainab -asws wields over this Universe.
Her -asws mere gesture was enough to quell the bedlam. Aminatul Allah -azwj Divine secrets can be inquired by either the Holy Prophet -saww or Imams -asws Other than infallibles -asws none can carry any such divine secrets. Imam Hussain -asws assigned the secrets of Divine leadership and vicegerency to Syeda Zainab -asws . Because a fallible human cannot bear the secrets of Imamat. Syeda Zainab -asws was pure ‘Noor’ and infalliable. One of the Divine trusts is the office of Imamat.
Syeda -asws saved and protected the Imam Zainul Abideen -asws several times, when infidels set fire to their tents on the eve of 11 th of Moharram and in the courts of Ibn Ziad la and yazeed la . Syeda Zainab -asws indeed was the successor to Syeda Fatima Zahra -asws and hence had the title ‘Sani-e-Zahra’ . -asws Aalematun-Ghaira Muallamah Wa Fahimatun Ghaira Muffahamah -asws [4] Syeda Zainab -asws was a scholar without having a Worldly-teacher and an intellectual without an explanator.
This title was accorded to her -asws by Imam Zainul Abideen -asws . This shows that Syeda Zainab -asws never received education from any non-masomeen teacher. But she -asws was divinely blessed with knowledge and education..
