Rather than allowing fear and division to define us, we need to understand the world around us, educate ourselves and remain grounded in our faith.We reflect on the hatred and opposition faced by **Rasool Allah (s)**, how he responded to hostility, and what his example teaches Muslims today.Is it becoming **Muslims vs the world** â or is our responsibility to rise above that mentality?
The Role of Sayyeda Zainab (as) After KarbalaSupport After Maghrib. Become a partner or make a one-off donation today: https://www.aftermaghrib.com/yahussain Shaykh Abbas Jaffer joins us to discuss the powerful role of Sayyeda Zainab (as) after the tragedy of Karbala. We explore how decades of Umayyad propaganda left the people of Sham unaware of the true status of the Ahlulbayt (as), while the people of Kufa knew the truth but were overcome by hypocrisy, fear and apathy. Shaykh Abbas examines Sayyeda Zainabâs historic sermons in Kufa and Sham, her fearless confrontation with Yazid and the Qurâanic eloquence that shattered his claim to victory. Despite captivity and unimaginable grief, she exposed the Umayyad regime, preserved the message of Imam Hussain (as) and declared that the remembrance of the Ahlulbayt could never be extinguishedâa promise proven by millions today.
