Salaam dear friends, how are you all, hope you are fine by the Grace of Almighty Lord.
For the past few days, Tehran and other cities are witnessing a rise in air pollution and this has forced the schools to conduct their classes online.
Please stay at your homes and avoid coming out in these polluted days. We pray to Almighty Lord to shower us with His blessings and keep us safe from differently calamities. Amen.
Well friends, as you all know we are observing the Ayyam-e Fatemiyeh in honour of Hazrat Fatema Zahra (SA), who lived 75 days, or at the most 95 days, after the passing away of her father, Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).
Almost, the whole country is draped in black. Banners have been put up on streets and on buildings, inscribed with the Prophet’s words in praise of his Immaculate Daughter. “Ya Zahra” in big and bold letters is splashed across the black flags hoisted on houses, on crossroads, on mosques, and elsewhere.
Hazrat Fatema Zahra (AS) was indeed the Pride of the Virgin Mary (SA). As the Impeccable Wife of Imam Ali (AS) and the Infallible Mother of Imam Hasan (AS), Imam Husain (AS), Hazrat Zainab (SA) and Hazrat Omm Kolthoum (SA), the Prophet’s Immaculate Daughter remains the perfect model of emulation for all aspiring girls and women of all ages.
In fact, Driven Providence had chosen her to be the Noblest-Ever-Lady, of not just her era, but for all time, from the beginning till the end.
As is obvious to you youngsters, who tread the path of Hazrat Zahra (SA) and her Blessed Household to make the Islamic Republic of Iran the centre of dissimulation of the pure and pristine teachings of genuine Muhammadan Islam, the devilish elements thought that by depriving the Ahl al-Bayt of their right of political leadership and by oppressing the Prophet’s Daughter to bring about her early death, they would deprive humanity of the blueprint of proper progress.
How wrong they were! Today, it is Fatema (SA), her Father, her Husband, and her Sons, who are the Ark of Salvation for all seekers of truth. As a matter of fact, without the Ahl al-Bayt, Islam would become a corpse and could be manipulated by hypocrites and terrorists.
Thus, it was for salvaging Islam and all humanitarian values that Hazrat Zahra (SA), rose to the defence of the Wilaya (divinely-decreed right) of Imam Ali (AS), and exposed the hijacked caliphate in its true heathen colours, and in the process achieved immortal martyrdom.
Good bye, and see you all next week.
