Over the past few days and coinciding with the martyrdom anniversary of Lady Fatimah Zahra (AS), some members of Karbalayis Society from Mashhad visited the Grand Shia Islamic Jurist Ayatollah Sayyed Sadiq Shirazi in the holy City of Qom, Iran. 

In this meeting, the Grand Jurist opened his remarks by a reference to the Famous Hadith of the Cloak and said: “In this famous hadith, Almighty God introduces the holy AhlulBayt (AS) to the angels like this: Mohammad the father, Ali the husband, and Hassan and Hussein the sons of Fatimah.”

The Grand Jurist further elaborated: “In the entire history of prophets, it is unique that a Prophet is introduced in reference to his daughter. Also, we see that Ali ibn Abi Talib, Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein are introduced through their connection to Lady Fatimah Zahra. This is how the Almighty God introduces His favorite servants to the archangel Gabriel in this hadith.”

The Grand Ayatollah Shirazi then hinted: “No need to mention that this hadith doesn’t mean that Lady Fatimah Zahra is superior to her father, the Prophet of Islam (SAWA); however, this hadith indicates that Lady Fatimah Zahra enjoys a high position in the sight of Allah.”

The Grand Ayatollah Shirazi also said: “Whatever we do to commemorate Lady Fatimah Zahra (AS) is not enough. In the afterlife, certainly we will see that there are other people who served Lady Fatimah Zahra far better than us. There are many people who uphold the memorials of Lady Fatimah Zahra in many different ways. No matter how much you work to honor the memory of Lady Fatimah Zahra, you still will be regretful in the afterlife as why you didn’t do more. So, try your best to be among those people who have no regrets in their services to the cause of Lady Fatimah Zahra.”

The Grand Ayatollah Shirazi then said: “Any one of you who works more, gets more tired, is more troubled, and goes through more hardships to commemorate the memory of Lady Fatimah Zahra (AS), will have less regrets in the afterlife.”

At the end, the Grand Jurist said: “I ask almighty God to make you successful more than before. I pray for you and I hope you pray for me when you are at the shrine of Imam Reza (AS).”

It is worth noting that these visitors met with Sayyed Hussein Shirazi, after meeting with the Grand Jurist in person.
