 Assalamu alaikum and welcome dear viewers. The devotion of Lady Zaynab to the cause of Islam sacrificing her sons. Many people today who claim to be Muslims are the first to proclaim their Islam openly. Yet also and rather sadly, the last to sacrifice anything meaningful when the time is necessary be it money, their time, their services or their dedication. We find that such an attitude is often one which is and has proven to be the biggest sole cause of stagnation within the Muslim world and even has often been what has resulted in the death and tragic martyrdom of numerous figures from amongst Ahlul Bayt. Lady Zaynab on the other hand was raised in the household of Revelation and was consistently reared by the most devout of parents. She would inhale the fragrance of a willaya as a child and was under the shadow and protection of the Imamate of her brothers Al-Hasan and Al-Hussain, peace be upon them. As a result, she was raised and thought that her life was all leading to one event and one event alone. The survival of Islam on the day of Ashura, what this all led to, was her willingness to offer her sons in the defense of her Imam, Imam Al-Hussain and herself as the one who would carry the reign of willaya in assisting Imam al-Sajjad and acting as his backbone after Karbala. The Maktaal narrative of the tragic events of Karbala narrates, on the day of Ashura, Lady Zaynab cleansed town and Muhammad, applied clearium to their eyes and dressed them in a new garment. Then she handed them their swords and presented them to her brother the Imam for permission to go into battle. The Imam refused her saying, Abdullah, your husband, may not agree to this, Zaynab replied. But he is the one who instructed me that in case of war I should give his sons before yours. Lady Zaynab insisted until the Imam reluctantly gave permission. When Amr ibn Sadd saw the two children riding into battle, he exclaimed in astonishment. What love Zaynab must have for her brother to have sent the lights of her eyes to the battlefield? The two children fought until Muhammad was struck down. Aoun came to his dying brother, taking him into his lap, he said, O brother, do not grieve, I too will soon follow. Aoun continued to fight until he too was struck down and departed to the eternal abode, weeping and overcome by grief. The Imam went to the two children. He carried them away with their bodies in his arms, their feet dragging on the ground. When the bodies of the martyrs were brought to the tents, the women, preceded by Lady Zaynab, would come out of the tents to lament the dead. However, this time, when the bodies of her own children were being brought, she was not to be seen. The reason for this may have been that she did not wish to cry for her sons and weaken the resolve of her brother, the Imam, in fighting with the enemy. Alternatively, she may have thought that her weeping for her sons might cause the Imam the embarrassment of thinking that he was the reason for their death. Such was the lofty character of the daughter of Lady Fatima. Peace be upon you.
