Everybody knows that Islam could see the light only by virtue of the wealth of Khadijah (’s (s.a.w.a.)first wife) and the sword of Ali ibn Abu Talib (a.s.). In the same manner, Islam has subsisted by virtue of the martyrdom of Imam al-Husain (a.s.) and the revolution of Lady Zaynab (a.s.). Only through the revolutionary speeches of Lady Zaynab (a.s.) did the publics recognize the falsity of Mu’awiyah and Yazid and their enmity against Islam.

The tragedy of Lady Zaynab (a.s.) forms the second half of the revolution of Imam al-Husain (a.s.). Against those unbearable misfortunes, she stood with steadfastness and had full custody on the captives, orphans, and the ailed Imam. She then disputed the wrongdoers through her speeches and denied the horrendous crushing and violation against human rights and dignity.

She then rallied the publics against the oppressive gang of the Umayyad rulers and their tails until they banished her so as to save their state. Nevertheless, their state was smashed completely in consequence of Lady Zaynab(a.s.)’sefforts. The material of this book has been compiled from the most reliable reference books of history and biography.

However, the books entitled ‘Al-Sayidah Zaynab (a.s.)’ and authored by Sheikh Ja’far al-Naqdi, ‘Al-Sayyidah Zaynab (a.s.)’and authored by Sheikh Baqir Sharif al-Qarashi have been most depended in the material of this book.

The Ansariyan Publications thus is pleased to introduce this work, which focuses light, in a brief yet documented way, on the life account, personality, and struggle of Lady Zaynab (a.s.), to the gentle readers hoping they will benefit by the unparalleled situations of this great lady and derive items leading to human perfection. Finally, we pray to Almighty Allah to make the path of success paved for us and make our intentions purely proposed to Him.

He is most certainly the source of success and good fortune. Ansariyan Publications, 2002 Previous…
