Hazrat Zainab bint-e-Ali (RA), the granddaughter of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and daughter of Hazrat Fatima (RA), played a crucial role in defending Islam with bravery and clarity. She, alongside her brother Hazrat Hussain (RA), faced the Yazidi forces’ atrocities on the plains of Karbala.
As a prominent figure in Islamic history, Hazrat Zainab (RA) empowered Muslim women during the Battle of Karbala and continues to inspire women worldwide. Her powerful words in Yazid’s court challenged the misconception that a Muslim woman cannot raise her voice against injustice. When Yazid paraded the heads of her brother Hussain (RA) and the other martyrs, she delivered a fearless speech that highlighted the strength of a woman’s voice. She humiliated Yazid while honoring the Ahl al-Bayt and reminded him of the Quranic verse warning disbelievers of their eventual reckoning.
Hazrat Zainab (RA) warned Yazid not to take pleasure in his apparent victory, emphasizing that true victory belongs to those who sacrifice their lives for Allah.
She conveyed Imam Hussain’s (RA) message, showcasing the eternal struggle between good and evil and assuring that righteousness will ultimately prevail. Hazrat Zainab preserved Imam Hussain’s (RA) legacy and inspired generations to uphold justice through her compelling speeches in Kufa and Damascus.
