The Extraordinary Role of the Daughter of the Messenger (S.A)

The blessed life of Lady Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon her) proves that an ideal Islamic personality’s leadership is not confined to battlefields or seats of governance. It can also reshape history through intellectual reasoning, economic justice, and political resistance. Her character remains an eternal model for staying firm upon principles and standing for truth across all ages.

True Awaiting Of The Imam (a.s.): Faith, Knowledge, and Justice

This passage highlights that true loyalty to the Imam (a.s.) is tested when justice is established, as many so-called lovers may oppose him if decisions go against their desires. The example of Kufa shows how people invited Imam Hussain (a.s.) but later betrayed him. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) warned that the first opposition to the awaited Imam (a.s.) will come from his own followers. Hence, believers must strengthen religious knowledge and purify actions so they do not become enemies of their awaited savior.

🌸 The Divine Virtues of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (peace be upon her)

Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (peace be upon her), the beloved daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny), was created from the Divine Light long before the creation of Adam. Her purity, strength, and virtues reflect those of the Prophet himself, except for prophethood. Allah chose her as the sacred vessel to carry and protect the light of Wilayah (Divine Guardianship). Through her immense sacrifice, she preserved Prophethood, Imamate, and the Oneness of Allah (Tawheed), ensuring that the true message of Islam remained alive for all generations.

Part 2: The Importance of Ghadir in the Light of the Holy Quran

The passage highlights the significance of the event of Ghadir Khumm, where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) declared Imam Ali (AS) as his successor by divine command. Despite being among fellow Muslims, the Prophet feared rejection, prompting God to assure His protection. The announcement marked the completion of religion as confirmed by the Quran (Surah Ma’idah 5:3). The Wilayah of Ali (AS) is viewed not as a political move, but as a divinely appointed leadership, affirmed by both Quranic verses and authentic Hadiths, even in Sunni sources.

The Importance of Marja‘iyyah in the End Times and the Conspiracies Against It

This passage highlights Imam Jafar Sadiq’s (AS) teaching that the loss of scholars means the loss of true knowledge. It stresses that today’s opposition to Marja‘yah by some youth is a grave misfortune, as the survival and dignity of Shia Islam have always depended on the sacrifices and leadership of scholars. In the period of occultation, only the Marja‘s are entrusted with protecting the divine religion and guiding the followers of the Imam (AS) on the true path.

Community and Society

Service to the people

Service to people in Islam is highly valued and includes helping others selflessly, not just through wealth but also through kindness and good behavior. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and other Islamic figures emphasized aiding all humans, regardless of faith. Stories like that of the Prophet and Dhul-Qarnayn illustrate the power of compassion and community values. Islam teaches that serving humanity is a form of worship and key to creating an ideal society.

The Dowry System in Islam: A Call for Simplicity and Sincerity in Marriage

The issue of dowry has become a serious problem in today’s society, even though it is neither obligatory nor Sunnah in Islam. The dowry of Lady Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her) was simple and limited to basic necessities, teaching the value of modesty. Islam discourages wastefulness and showiness, as mentioned in the Qur’an. Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) emphasized that piety, not wealth, should be the basis of marriage. Giving dowry with sincerity is permissible only if it causes no burden or display. The true spirit of marriage in Islam lies in simplicity, purity, and mutual respect.

The importance of Ghadir in the light of the Holy Quran

This article discusses the importance of Ghadir Khum in the light of the verse of the Holy Quran, "O Messenger, convey...". It has been stated that in this verse, Allah Almighty, adopting a strict tone, ordered the delivery of a very important message, in which the delay and panic show the Prophet's sense of danger. Allah specifically promised that He would protect His Messenger from the evil of the people, which shows that the message was not ordinary but of extraordinary importance. According to the commentators, this message was the announcement of the wilayah of Hazrat Ali (AS), which was delivered in front of more than 1.2 million Muslims in the incident of Ghadir.
