 You are in Medina and the year is 11 after Hidra and our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi, he's just passed away and the event of Saqifah has just occurred. I want to know if you were in that situation where the Shia of Amir al-Muhminin alayhi s-salam are being forced to pledge allegiance. Would you give bay'ah under taqiyyah and help the Ahlulbayt alayhim s-salam in secret or would you speak up risking your life and the lives of your loved ones as well or would you do something else? I think I will speak up definitely. Yeah, whatever happens happens truth be told. Khilafat was Imam Ali's right and Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam did say that so there is the reason why he went through all that effort in Ghadeer. It wasn't for nothing he wanted people to remember that and accept that. Imam Ali is Khalifat. So there is even if I think if it was me I would definitely speak up I would definitely say like make people remember that day and tell them what Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said we're taking our deen from him so why not listen to him? Yes exactly that at the end of the day the Hukh the truth is the most important thing in our deen and what an honour it would be to stand up for the truth and speak up against injustice. Now sister I want you to picture that you are now outside the house of Fatima s-Sahra alayhi s-salam. Now this is the house that our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi he used to go there every day and greet his Ahl al-bayt alayhi s-salam with so much love and affection he would kiss the hands of lady Fatima and he would hug and hold al-Hasan alayhi s-salam he used to treat that house with so much respect I want you to imagine that you are standing outside and you see the enemies come towards the house and you hear that the threat is made and that Fatima s-Sahra alayhi s-salam refuses their entry I want you to imagine that you see the men break the door down and you hear the screams of Fatima s-Sahra alayhi s-salam from behind the door I want you to imagine that now they are setting the house on fire how would you feel seeing such a thing how would you respond what would you do again I think I would speak up I know at that time and like even now it's difficult for women to speak up and raise their voice but I would definitely go to the men in my family maybe tell them go defend them amali I myself would probably go and like speak to them try to put sense into like those men and say what you're doing is wrong this is not just anybody's house it's prophet's daughter and she's behind the door she's if she's saying don't come to my home you cannot go in there yeah definitely say that definitely but yeah yeah it's um you're right about what you say with it's very difficult even in our modern age for women to speak up and one of the most beautiful things about Fatima s-salam she shows us that we shouldn't be afraid to speak up as she proved when she gave her sermon a fadqia and now I want you to picture that the attack has finished and now you you're walking you've walked inside the house of lady Fatima alayhi s-salam and you find her lying on the ground unconscious and around her her children al-hasan wal-hussayn zaynab and uncle fulm they're crying and they're trying to wake their mother up what would you do to comfort them what would you do to help make this situation easier if you could I would help um I would help Fatima alayhi s-salam alayhi s-salam I would help her with her injuries I would calm down the kids and I would say the zaynab I'm cool zoom I'd calm them down I'd just be nice to them that everything will be fine probably and make them remember that at the end of the day they're that was all right of course finally sister I want you to imagine that again you're in the city of Medina and this time you are walking with imama zamal may Allah hasten his reappearance on the earth I want you to imagine that you're walking with him and you're talking and you say to him where are you taking me and I want you to imagine that he replies I'm taking you to the grave of my grandmother Fatima to Zahra alayhi s-salam of course no one knows where lady Fatima alayhi s-salam was buried she was buried at night with only a few witnesses because of the oppression that was done to her I want you to imagine that you are seeing her grave for the first time you're standing in front of her what would you say to her if you could say anything you wanted to I'd say salam first and I'll pay my respects and say salam and probably try and do a ziyarat on behalf of myself and my parents the same way that you when you visit Karbala or any other Ziyarat to you to your salam and I'll probably apologize for not being the person that she probably wanted her father's umma to be and I'll probably promise her that I'll be a better person and I'm thankful that I know where she's at yeah and I'll probably ask Imam Mahdi alayhi s-salam to thank him for coming back and for showing me where his mother's grave is and I don't know as a woman I'll probably cry a lot remembering her pain I'll definitely say pay my condolences for Imam Hussain alayhi s-salam and that may she guide us to be Kani Zahra Insha Allah Insha Allah um thank you so much for having this interview with me sister um your views and your passion for Lady Zahra alayhi s-salam is a very beautiful thing to see I pray earnestly that our Lady alayhi s-salam is pleased with you and I pray may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala keep us steadfast, steadfast and firm on the path of the Ahlul Veyt alayhim s-salam and may he hasten the reappearance of Sahiba Zaman and may he bring goodness and justice back to this world
