OPPRESSING AL-ZAHRA’ (A.S.):

CENTURIES OLD SECTARIAN ARGUMENTS

 

 

Testimonials

The issue of assaulting al-Zahra’ (A.S.) with beating, attacking her house, the attempt to burn it, the actual burning of it, her miscarriage, and other issues have all been included in the spheres of sectarian arguments since the very first century and till our time.

We would like to cite specimens of arguments by orators and others in this regard from prominent personalities of this sect against their opponents across successive centuries so that it becomes clear that such diction was not invented by those who recite commemorative ceremonies in order to extract people’s tears with the truthful and untruthful words, as someone terms it, leaving the option to research them to whoever wishes to do so.

So let us say that upon Allah do we depend, and from Him do we derive our will power, strength and success.
