"I saw nothing but beauty": Zeinab al-Kubra (sa)
Feb 8, 2010
On the day of Ashura Zeinab al-Kubra watched many of her dear
ones go to the battlefield to get martyred. She watched Hussein ibn Ali (a.s.),
Abbas, Ali Akbar, Qasem, her children, and other dear ones go to the
battlefield. After they were martyred, she went through all those pains: The
invasion of the enemy, disrespect, and the responsibility to take care of the
surviving children and women. Is it possible to compare the enormity of this
tragedy with physical pain? But when she was faced with these difficulties,
Zeinab al-Kubra did not tell God to save her. She did not say, "O my Lord, save
me." ...While the shredded body of her brother lay in front of her eyes, tells
God, "O God, accept this sacrifice from us." When she was asked to describe what
she had seen, she replied, "I did not see anything but beauty." All those
tragedies were beautiful to Zeinab al-Kubra because they were from and for God -
because they were supposed to promote the word of God.
