Bibi Zainab’s leadership
February 27, 2021
More than thirteen centuries after the encounter at Karbala became a legend for all times to come, the epic story of this tragic massacre remains incomplete without the persona of Bibi Zainab (a.s.).
On Sunday (February 28/15th Rajab al murajab) scores of Muslim mourners will remember Bibi Zainab (a.s.), the younger sister of Imam Hussain (a.s.) on the day of her martyrdom.
Pilgrims will either head to her final resting place in Damascus at the center of a neighborhood known as ‘Zainabiya’ or the mausoleums of the martyrs of Karbala, southern Iraq, at the centre of the legend of Karbala.
