Muharram 1446 / 2024 -- Night 7
Under the general theme of studying the various important roles played by women throughout Islamic history, and through which they were identified as inspirational role models for us all, this lecture examine the role of the mother of Imam al-Mahdi, may God hasten his reappearance. Specifically, by looking at the historical record and narrational reports, we can conclude that she was actively leading an underground network of activities, with a number of other women, in order to protect the life of Imam al-Mahdi and his mission, especially against the efforts of the Abbassids. As a result, she was oppressed and imprisoned more than once. This is part of a larger network of similar activities led by other women throughout the lives of Ahlul Bayt, peace and blessings upon them.
