The Birth of Lady Zainab

Lady Fatima birthed a baby girl who was to exceed in fields of faith, honor, and perseverance. Imam Ali, the baby’s father, hurried to hold his newborn and kiss her. He recited the Athan* in her right ear and Iqamah* in her left. Hence, the first words she heard were, “God is the Greatest” and “there is no god but Allah.”
​
These great words found a strong ground in the inner self of the newborn and they, later on, became the most significant elements of her personality. In the future, she would adopt the true application of these words for which she would encounter horrible adversities.

“Fatima,” said her father, “You should know that this daughter would have to suffer horrible misfortunes and tragedies after your and my demise.”

At that moment, the Prophet Muhammad perceived the horrifying hardships that would afflict his granddaughter; thus he continued to weep and Lady Fatima joined.
As soon as Prophet Muhammad, the baby’s grandfather, was informed of her birth, he hurried to his daughter’s house, embraced the newborn to his chest warmly, and began to weep. His daughter, Fatima, asked, “What for are you weeping father?”
