Bismillah (in the name of God, the most beneficent, the most merciful) Condolences to Imam Al Zamaan and the entire Muslim Ummah on the death anniversary of Lady Fatima Al Masuma of Qom, the daughter of Imam Musa Kadhim and the sister of Imam Ridha ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)). The moon weeps over you as it recalls your memory, Oh Noble Lady, As it is reminded of your journey afoot the road to your Imam, Oh Masooma of Qom upon your loyalty my salaam I send aplenty. You are the Zainab of your day, Walking for miles to Khurasan, As you raise both your palms in supplication, Learns from you every nation, As we knock on your door in Qom, We bow and ask only for your salvation, Oh great lady grant us your intercession. The second Zahra who faced trials no less than Karbala, A bright light cloaked in the darkest clouds, As you recall Imam Reza and weep aloud, Your feet in agony and the memories of the daughters of Ali haunt you daily, Yet you never gave up on your journey and by wallah this is your legacy, A belief unwavering in the glory of the Almighty. And there’s not a doubt but rather in my mind lives this certainty, That just like the daughter of Ali, Only another Zainab can revive such a legacy, When faced with every torment, Your heart and voice must have proclaimed proudly, “I’ve seen nothing but God’s beauty.” And just like your grandmother Fatima Al Zahra, Oh Sayeda Masooma, your tongue would educate all on religious matters, Your eloquence unparalleled and the truth can be no truer, For what poetry can a mere lover write and recite in your honour, This pen is unworthy of this grandeur, But the heart calls for you like a child for its mother. Yet my heart shatters and eyes cry tears, When I hear your screams as you too are ill due to your troubles I see your wounded body laying on the dessert in terror, No one from your family is near, At this moment you remembered little Sakina. Surely the world doesn’t understand the status of your valour, Your door is now a heavenly sanctuary for Zahra’s lovers, To be your Zawar and Kadham it is an honour, May we visit you soon and knock on your door, May we be sacrificed for your sake forevermore, Ya Bibi Kareema.

When Zaynab (a.s) reached Kufa, she addressed people with fury words: “Praise to Allah, and may the blessing of Allah be upon Muhammad and his progeny. O people of Kufa! You are hypocrites and deceitful. You feign to be sorry for the death of my brother and his companions. May you always shed tears. I find nothing in you but flattery, evil acts and thoughts, pride and spite and ill will. By Allah! You deserve lasting sorrow instead of joy. Shame on you, your hands is imbrued with the blood of the son of the Holy Prophet, the one who was your sole refuge in case of adversity. By your evil act and disloyalty, you incurred the wrath of Allah against you. Woe betides you! No one will intercede with Allah for you”. Her furious words provoked people of Kufa to avenge Imam al-Hussein (a.s)’s martyrdom, which frightened Ibn Ziyad and his cruel agents. She also delivered a furious sermon in the court of Yazeed that made his authority and despotic rule feel undermined. She said: “I fear no one but Allah. Make whatever evil plot you can. Blazes are waiting for you in the hereafter. You will be accountable to Allah for your atrocities”.

(salam) Biography of Bibi Fatima (sa).. Let's all read as much as we can about this purity that left us this day.. To weep for her is to weep for the moons.. As they were left alone today, and her sun, the king of kings, Imam Ali (as).. Ya RasulAllah.. We are sorry :( Guilt twangs at my heart though I do not know why.. Bibi Fatima (sa) can I uphold your honour? Can I? Asalamu Alaykum Ya Imam al-Mahdi (as), May you forgive me for my disobedience towards my 'fathers' and my 'mother' though I am not worthy of calling her mother, I am not one of her sons.. May I be forgiven for my sins, O Allah. I can say though, that I love Bibi (sa).. I wish it was enough, I wish. May you be comforted in the heavens with the presence of your father (saww) next to you. Asalamu Alaykum Ya Fatima. http://www.al-islam.org/gracious/
