تهدمت والله اركان الهدى يا علي (٤)

A main feature of Umm  ul-Banin’s (as) poems was her awareness of the  then  political  events  &  relevant  affairs.  After  the  event  of  Karbala,  she  was  able  to  convey  the  message  of  the oppressed and truth-seeking martyrs of Ashura to the future generations; she also could awaken the unaware people to the truth through her art of reciting elegies of the martyrs of Karbala.

“After the event of Karbala, whenever  Umm ul-Banin heard of the martyrdom  of  her sons, particularly the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (as), she used to go to Baqi‘ cemetery in Medina, where she resided, and commemorated  them  while  in deep grief for those godly men. The people of Medina joined her to listen to her words besides merely  mourning their martyrdom.   This was so touching that even Marwan  –  an  enemy of the Prophet’s  Household  –  was moved to tears by Umm ul-Banin’s elegies and lamentation.”

- Imam Mohammed Al Baqir (as).

“On Judgment Day, a visitor of Imam Hussain (a.s) will be able to intercede for a hundred sinful persons destined to Hell.”

Assalamo Ya Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as)

“ Fatima bint Muhammad attends with the Visitors of the grave Of her son Hussein and asks forgiveness for their sins on behalf of them.”

A Shia is never scared to listen to any speaker from any religion, because a Shia knows a) there is no harm in gaining more knowledge, and b) we are not scared (threatened) to listen to anything you have to say. A school that is scared of listening to another lecturer from another school is one that believes it is a shaky school. So they don’t want to go and listen to anyone else (as to not rock their fragile foundation).
