Sayyida Zainab (a.s) knew that she had to protect her nephew, #ImamZaynAlAbidin (p) and did so as best she could. She remained steadfast, protected him physically when necessary, and publicly spoke out when the truth was distorted and covered.

Sayyida #Zainab (p) also knew that to safeguard the future of her grandfather’s religion and its believers people must always remember the sacrifice of #ImamHussain (a.s), his family, and companions. Women became the flagbearers of the message of Imam Hussain (a.s).

Lady #Zainab (a.s) was the first to mourn Imam #Hussien (a.s). It is important to highlight the political role of mourning, and that mourning ceremonies can play the role of a religious and worldly conference.
Part 1: "The Political Aspect of Mourning"
Lady #Zainab (a.s) was the first to mourn Imam #Hussien (a.s). It is important to highlight the political role of mourning, and that mourning ceremonies can play the role of a religious and worldly conference.
This #political nature was proportional to the circumstances and their fluctuations according to the first stage, and given the nature of that foundational stage.
The invitation of Lady Zainab (a.s) followed by that of Imams (a.s) to mourning ceremonies can be considered as a political stance. It stands against the attempts to suppress the #Shiites and to marginalize the role of the followers of Ahl al-Bayt (a.s).
Since most people are unaware of the significance of #Muharram or the sacrifice of Hussain please bear with me as I recite the history of #Karbala every day

Karb ( anguish) and Bala ( calamity) were the name given to the land of Nainawa where Imam Hussain and the male members of his family ( excluding an ill son) were martyred along with his companions. The ladies were imprisoned & taken to Syria

1. There are about 20 million people gathering to participate in the pilgrimage (ziyara) for #Arbaeen. It is in Commemoration of the death of #ImamHussein (Grandson of Mohammed the Prophet) and rightful Caliph/Imam. He had 72 against thousands, finally, alone on the battlefield..
All thanks to the Almighty!

2. On a related note, there’s need for FG to seriously investigate and take appropriate actions on Nigerians convicted or awaiting trial in Saudi and other countries all over the world. Some of them may be victims just like Zainab.
3. The perpetrators of Zainab’s ordeal and their co-travelers must be meticulously investigated and brought justice. There appears to be a gang operating this cruelty. They must all be tracked and stopped putting another Nigerian’s life in danger.
