Sermon of Lady Zainab [sa] in the Court of Yazeed [la]

One of the most famous sermons delivered in the history of Islam in which the grand daughter of the Holy Prophet (s) is brought to face the tyrant Caliph of the time, Yazid, as a captive and prisoner of war. Following the massacre of Imam Hussain (a), his family and companions at Karbala, Yazid went on to parade the family of the Holy Prophet (s) through the various Islamic cities culminating at the center of his power, Damascus. In these extremely hostile conditions, Lady Zaynab delivered a most eloquent sermon with the courage and poise of her father and grandfather in which she spoke to Yazeed with unwavering truth of his vile nature and the efforts of his ancestors that always aimed to extinguish the light of Islam since its dawn. She then magnificiently concludes - after having seen her own family massacred and mutilated - by establishing the blessed end that awaits the patient and virtuous ones.

This is quite a display, when one understands the blood-boiling history involving the injustice served to our Beloved Ahlul-Bayt (AS) and places this splendid oration in it's correct time it's quite obvious this is one of the most brilliant, stirring speeches in the history of the world. Masha'Allah!

I could never think of her has being scared. Not in the least.

Not of such worthless scum as Yazeed, what is to be scared of?!

Just a deep sense of grief is what that speech reflects. So beautifully spoken, like her mother (ra) and family (ra).
