Hazrat Zahra (s)’s martyrdom anniversary marked in Sweden

By: Anjum Kermani

STOCKHOLM, Sweden: Knowledge of Sayidah Fatimah (s.a.) and acknowledgment to her right is faith because she is the centre of the five Es’habel kesaa (those who were under the stole): holy Prophet Muhammad (s.w.), Al-Imam Ali (a.s.), Sayidah Fatimah (s.a.), Al-Imam Al-Hassan (a.s.) and Al-Imam Al-Hussein (a.s.).

This was stated by renowned husseini speaker Ash-Sheikh Abdelhassan Al-Assadi while he was addressing majales al-azaiyah at husseiniyah Sayid Ash-Shohadaa (a.s.) in Sweden marking the martyrdom anniversary of Sayidah ton-Nessa el-A`lamin (Mistress of the women of the World) and the beloved daughter of Seal of Prophets, Prophet Muhammad (s.w.), Sayidah Fatimah Az-Zahra (s.a.).

Religious scholars, mo`mineen from Arab and Islamic communities attended the three-day Majales al-Fatimiyah and offered their condolences to the holy family of Prophet (s.w.).

Throwing light on the great status of Sayidah Fatimah (s.a.), Al-Assadi said her obedience is obligatory for all creatures in line with a saying of Al-Imam Al-Baqer (a.s.), fifth infallible successor of the holy Prophet (s.w.).

He said adherence to the Ahlul Bait (a.s.) is significant because they are the sole immunity for the nation from ignorance, loss and cultural dissolution. He said terrorists who are killing and slaughtering innocent people and shedding blood of civilians in the name of Islam in Iraq are not the followers of Islam.
