Witnessing how the Caliphs’ sharp claws of arrogance had held the body and soul of Islam, how the injustice had settled itself in the place of justice, and how Ali (peace be upon him), the chosen of Allah and His Messenger, had been removed from his real position irritated Fatima. Fatima (peace be upon her) was sorrowful on the account that she was observing Abubakr on the Prophet’s pulpit, and Ali (peace be upon him), who was indeed the leader, deprived from his right.

Although this unjust settlement had a short life, it was intolerable for Fatima (peace be upon her) and burnt her heart. People’s Poverty: The material poverty is not only meant here, because it can be curable, but what about the spiritual, moral, cultural, and ideological poverty? The people were in the mid of the way to attain their purpose, but the new policies prevented them from continuation, and put them on the way of ignorance, unawareness, and collapse again.

Because the Caliphs had themselves nothing to deliver, and their minds could not satisfy the peoples’ needs. Therefore, the people were kept passive, and even sometimes it was pretended through imposing their ideas that truth was what they said. Besides, she was sorrowful due to the fact that she could observe that a lot of weakened people had nowhere to resort, and nobody felt responsibility for them.

They had to attach themselves to one of the poles or blocs to continue their lives, and attachment could endanger their beliefs and, as a result, Islam. Lack of Confidence: The main problem, originated by the enemy, was that the peoples’ relationship with Ali and Fatima (peace be upon her) was limited. The society was not in parallel with Ali and Fatima (peace be upon her), because the people did blindly obey the Caliphs ,and therefore, did not elevate.

The situation in which the people were put in it signified that their future were dark. Their purpose was limited to gluttony and extravagance. Their atmosphere was polluted and pernicious. They were divested of their rights, and they had no right to complain. Fatima (peace be upon her) witnessed how the seed, planted today, was growing.

It was as if she could foresee the stroke of the sword, killing Ali (peace be upon him), in the mosque while praying, could observe Hasan’s peace treaty for Oma safety, could witness the martyrdom of her dear son, Hossein and his shout, saying, “ هل من ناصر ينصرني” [is there anyone to assist me?].
