 Please be to Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful, the All-Knowing, the Sustainer and the Creator. I begin in His Name. I begin in the Name of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala glorified be He. And I begin by sending my peace and blessings upon Muhammad and his holy progeny and by sending my condolences to the Imam of my time. Imam al-Nahdi wal-Almanfarah may Allah hasten his reappearance and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. In the previous episode, we spoke of Fatimah al-Zahra'i, peace be upon her, being Laylatul Qadr. Inna tafsir al-Imam al-Sadr, peace be upon him. When he said, Laylatul Qadr, he is Fatimah. Tonight, we will begin to analyze some of the names that Imam al-Sadr, peace be upon him, names. We have an understanding now that the name of Fatimah means several meanings. Of these meanings is Fatimah picking her shi'a from the fires of hell. Of these meanings is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala weaning her from the fires of hell. Of these meanings is that the Ibad of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will never be able to have a cognizant understanding of Fatimah al-Zahra'a, peace be upon her. Tonight, we will look at a couple of names. We will narrate to you two reports concerning the name of Zahra'a. Zahra'a is one of the Fatimah al-Zahra'a's most beautiful names. You see, Fatimah al-Zahra'a was like her father, Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family. If you read the beginning of al-Khutbah al-Fadakiya, al-Khutbah al-Zahra'iya, al-Khutbah al-Fatamiya, you read that the narrator says, after narrating the hijab of Sayyid al-Fatima, peace be upon her, the narrator says that her walk, her actions, her speech are no different than the walk, the action and the speech of Rasulullah Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family. So Fatimah al-Zahra'a is like her father in every single way. If you read the character description of Rasulullah, you will see that his description was ashar-musharraban bi-hamrah, meaning Rasulullah had a white, shining face and it was musharrab bi-hamrah, it had a tint of red on it. If you read the character description of Fatimah al-Zahra'a, you will see the exact same description, zahra, ashar, meaning in Arabic language something that blossoms with a red tint or color. This was the color of the face of Fatimah al-Zahra'a, peace be upon him, narrated to us from the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon him. Now we will look at the hadith of the Imam himself, explaining to us what does zahra'a mean. This first hadith is found in the ilal of Shaykh al-Sadoq, R.A. Narrated by Jabir Ibn Yazidin al-Juafi. Jabir is one of the companions of Imam al-Sadoq, peace be upon him, and he narrates this hadith. He said, I asked my master, I asked my master, Ibn Abdullah al-Sadoq, peace be upon him, what is the reason or what is the meaning or interpretation behind the name that was given to Fatimah al-Zahra'a? What does zahra'a mean? We know the Arabic context of the verse. We can give you a definition from the classical Arabic. But we want to see what the Imam means because most of what we have from the names of Ahl al-Bayt is all isman ala masamma and every single name has an inner meaning. He says, listen to the words of Imam al-Sadoq, peace be upon him. It is because Allah created her from his great vast nu'a, light. And her light would light up the earth and the heavens. The angels would put their heads down and their eyes would be blinded from the nu'a of Fatimah. Imam al-Sadoq, peace be upon him, here is referring to when Allah first created the anwar. He created the anwar when nothing was around Allah but darkness. Allah created these anwar. Now I ask my dear viewer to go and read about the Ahadith of Khalq al-anwar. Beautiful, beautiful narrations of the creations of the anwar. You will see this picture more drawn out. You will see the full picture once you read the Ahadith. Let's continue. He says they would close their eyes from the intensity of the light that radiated from the face of Fatimah al-Zahra'a. Peace be upon her. They would prostrate to Allah and say, oh God, oh Master, oh Creator, where has this light come from? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala reveals to them. He says this light is from me. I have placed it in my skies and I created it from my greatness. This light will come from the final prophets from his progeny. From this light will be my Divine Supreme Covenants. The glorified be Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. The Imam narrating from Allah the Ahadith al-Qudsiy says that from this light will be my Divine Successors. The recipients of the Divine Supreme Covenant of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. From the light of Fatimah will be the Imam. Then he says those Imams will follow my orders and spread my message through justice and truth. This is the first report. Do you have a better understanding? Do you have now a closer picture of who Fatimah was? Peace be upon her. Who she was? This is what I want to get to you. I want you to come closer and closer to say the Fatimah, peace be upon her. So that's when we narrate the tragedy of the door. You will have a closer understanding of what happened to Fatimah, peace be upon her. It's very important that you understand who this lady was. The next report is narrated by Shaykh al-Sadooq as well in his ilal. Hadith number two after the first hadith concerning Zahra. When he was asked concerning the name, what is the meaning behind the name of Zahra? Listen to how, Abiyah Abdullah asked A'far ibn Muhammad and Sadaq, peace be upon him. Listen to how he describes the Noor of Fatimah. Listen. He says, her light effloresces, blossoms, radiates for Amir al-Mu'mineen, the commander of the faithful three times a day. He says, her blossoming and radiating light would enter the houses of the people in Medina. It would light up their walls. It would light up their beds. They would go to Rasulullah, peace be upon him, and his holy family. They would go to Rasulullah and ask him, ya Rasulullah, we saw this light radiating in our houses. Rasulullah, the apostle of Allah, peace be upon him and his holy family would tell them, go to the house of Fatimah and you will see exactly where the source of light is coming from. They go to the house of Fatimah and they see Fatimah al-Zahra, peace be upon her, sitting in her mahrab, praying, supplicating to Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, praying for her neighbors, praying for her friends, before her family this Fatimah al-Zahra, peace be upon her, gave us the law that al-jar thumma dar. They then testify that what they saw is truly the light of Fatimah. The second blossom, the second blossom in which these people would see, as the day passes by and the time of Zuhur arrives, the people in Medina begin to see a light entering their rooms, light radiating in their rooms. They begin to see a yellow tint, a yellow tint emulating from their rooms to the houses. Imagine, imagine you lived in Medina at that time and you saw the Nur of Fatimah, peace be upon her. They go to Rasulullah, peace be upon him and his holy family. They ask him the same question and Rasulullah sends him to the house of Fatimah. What do they see? They see Fatimah again sitting in her mahrab, praying, supplicating, glorifying Allah, the One and the Majestic. Then they testify that what they saw is truly the light radiating from Fatimah to Zahra, peace be upon her. The third radiating light, the third blossoming light, the third light that afloresses like a flower for Amir al-Mu'mineen, peace be upon him. When the time of Salat al-Naghrab approaches and the sun begins to set, what color do you see? A reddish orange tint. Fatimah's Zahra, peace be upon her, during this time radiates a light of orange tint and color. This light would enter the houses of the residents in Medina. It would touch their clothes and they could see the ether of the remnants on this color on their clothes. Their faces begin to have a tint, a reddish tint. What happens then? They go to Rasulullah, peace be upon him. They ask him, where is this light coming from? They touch them, go to the house of Fatimah and see yourself. They go to the house of Fatimah to Zahra, peace be upon her. And they see her sitting in an Harab, praying to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Praying to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, supplicating to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, glorifying Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Praying to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with her prayer beards. This is Fatimah. This is Fatimah. Praying and supplicating. And look at the image three times a day in a white light, a yellow tint and a red tint she would shine to the people of Medina and each time they would go to Rasulullah, Rasulullah would send them back and they would see that truly this light is the light of Fatimah, which is the right peace be upon her. The Imam says, the light stayed within Fatimah al-Zahra until al-Husayn peace be upon him. And then they began to inherit the light time after time until my master Imam al-Mahdi, insha'Allah our eyes will see his presence and we will see the light of Fatimah shining in his face. We will see the light of Fatimah shining in his face. And then he will tell us where the grave of Fatimah al-Zahra peace be upon her. I wonder, I wonder that Sayyid al-Fatimah peace be upon her. The people of Medina, the Ansar and the Muhajireen all witnessed this light infirm their eyes. When those animals came to attack, when they came to attack the door that is behind me right now, did they not see the light of Fatimah al-Zahra peace be upon her? Did they not see the light behind the door emulating? Or have they been blinded by hypocrisy? Have they been blinded by Satan, by the shaitan? Because all I see behind the door right now, all I see is light shining on the blood of Fatimah al-Zahra as she was pushed behind the door. Do you understand now why I narrate to you the merits of Fatimah al-Zahra al-Husayn al-Mahdi? I narrate to you the fada'il and the munaqib of Fatimah al-Zahra. So when you hear the muqtala of Fatimah, when you hear al-Muhassid al-Husayn falling to the ground, when you hear the way she was slapped, and the remnants of that slap stayed on her face to the point where she had to hide her face from Amir al-Wurmeen. This place that was shining in Nur three times a day for Amir al-Mu'mineen began to bleed and turn purple. This is Sayyid al-Fatimah, peace be upon him. This is the definition in the meaning behind the name Zahra'a. Zahra'a. This is just the beginning of our journey. Insha'Allah we will continue in a different episode and give you the meaning behind some of our other names such as al-Mu'addita. After that we will have a beautiful event. It will show you, my dear viewer, how Imam Ali, peace be upon him, treated Fatimah. So that way you can come closer to the Masat of Fatimah, to the oppression and tragedy of Fatimah, which is Zahra'a, peace be upon him. Join us, insha'Allah, in our next episode on this journey of the tragedy and the oppressions of Ali and Fatimah, peace be upon him, and peace be upon you.
