Zaynab’s Sermon & Its Historical Background; The Sermon of Imam Zaynu ’l-‘Ãbidīn


Book Description

The Saga of Karbala did not end with the martyrdom of Hussain, nor did his mission. His death was the initiation of a long ordeal faced by the family of Imam Hussain (a.s.). During this ordeal, it was the timeless sermons of Bibi Zainab and the fourth Imam Sajjad (a.s.) which truly pierced the hardened hearts of the people, sparked a revolution, and introduced change. The sermon of Lady Zaynab and the sermon of Imam Zaynu ’l-‘Ãbidīn complement one another: Zaynab's sermon formed the "tabarra" dimension and Imam Zaynu ’l-‘Ãbidīn's sermon formed the "tawalla" dimension: the former exposed the real identity of the oppressors, while the latter introduced the true, pure image of the Prophet's family.
