Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Lady Zaynab (peace Be Upon Her) Publisher’s Word All praise is due to Almighty Allah Who will reward those who sacrificed their lives for His sake and declared the word of right fearlessly so as to extend justice and honesty on this earth and contribute in achieving the purpose for which He has created the creatures.

Allah’s peace and allBlessings are upon Muhammad (s.a.w.a.)and his infallible Household (a.s.) who suffered troubles and encountered horrible adversities; all for taking humankind to the eternal pleasure and serving Almighty Allah in the best way. In the history of humankind, one can find many names whose principles encouraged them to declare the word of right and justice openly in the faces of the wrongdoers and the unjust.

This book deals with a lady who entered the field of struggle against wrong strongly and said the word of right and justice in the faces of the wrongdoers and oppressors.

The echoes of this lady’s words are still disturbing every tyrant and still reminding history of her immortal situations that gave, altogether with her brother’s revolution, a new birth to Islam after it had been about to be deformed and vanished at the hands of the illegal rulers who took over the leadership of the Islamic nation. This lady was Zaynab (a.s.) daughter of Imam Ali (a.s.).

We must also yield to the fact that Imam al-Husain (a.s.) accompanied his sister, lady Zaynab (a.s.), with him only after he had found her the fittest to complete his giant revolution, and she did complete his revolution after him so perfectly.

Besides, Lady Zaynab (a.s.) was such a perfect individual that she understood the duty she would burden about the revolutionof her brother although the Islamic Shari’ah[^1] has ordered women to remain at their houses since it is not obligatory upon them to participate in jihad.[^2] Notwithstanding, lady Zaynab (a.s.), being the daughter of the Islamic Shari’ah that was revealed in her house, understood more than anyone else that the advocacy of the right and the support of the religion were two missions to be undertaken by her.

Hence, she carried out the religious duty as perfect as possible and could act as an important ring in the series of Islam. From this cause, we understand that the revolution of Lady Zaynab (a.s.), granddaughter of the Prophet of Islam (s.a.w.a.) and daughter of its protector (a.s.) was due to a divine directive.
