Sayyidah Sakina
(s.a.) was the granddaughter of the “Most Eloquent Speaker” in Arabia.
Hence, the grand daughter had the same style and eloquence of Imam Ali
(a.s.). People of Kufa were surprised to
hear a four year old of Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) delivering a sermon whose substance
was the equivalent of a knowledgeable adult.
She said: “All praise is for Allah. A praise which numbers
more than the grains of the sand and weightier than the earth and Arsh
combined. I praise Him, trust Him and I
testify that there is no God but Allah. He is alone and has no partner.
Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) is His servant and Messenger and the Pure offspring of
Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) were slaughtered near
the banks of river Furat. O’ Allah! You took from your creation the promise
of allegiance for the vilayat of Ali
(a.s.) ibn Abu Talib (a.s.), and
made this wajib (obligatory) upon them, but your creation has broken this
promise of allegiance. They usurped his
(Amir al-Momineen) right and martyred him. Then they martyred his son Hussayn
(a.s.).
O’Allah! You are well aware that my Grandfather was martyred
in your House (Masjid) in the presence of other “Muslims”. These “Muslims”
admitted to oppressing Amir al-Momineen,
but for Your sake my Grandfather was patient. He left this world but his
attributes and greatness will remain for all of eternity and no one will ever
be able to attain his status.
O’Allah! I am very young but I am aware of the greatness of
the attributes of my Grandfather (a.s.). O’Allah!
You are aware of how my Grandfather
protected Your Tauheed (Oneness) and Your Prophet (s.a.w.s.). He had no
concern for this world. He fought in Your way. You chose him and declared him to be Your “Sirat-al-Mustaqeem” (the Right
Path).
O’People of Kufa! O’Cheaters! Allah tested you through Ahlul
Bayt (a.s.). Through Us, your Imaan was tested, and verily We are successful of
those who were tested. Allah has given His Knowledge to Us and made Us trustees
of His Knowledge. We are the source of His Wisdom. We are the Hujjat (Proof) of Allah upon the heavens and the earth.
Allah honored Us and raised our status before the creation through Muhammad
(s.a.w.s.). You denied Us and committed Kufr with Allah. You made slaughtering
Us lawful and looted our wealth. In your eyes, we were not the Offspring of
Rasool-Allah. You treated Us as if We were a group of common rebels.
You martyred my
Grandfather (a.s.) and your swords are dripping with the blood of Ahlul Bayt
(a.s.). For a long time now, your
hearts are filled with hatred and animosity towards Us. You slaughtered
Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) and afterwards you rejoiced and celebrated. You attributed
lies to Allah. You were deceitful and Allah does not allow those who are
deceitful to succeed.
You committed every atrocity against Us. Whatever We had to face in this world it
was for the sake of Allah. Verily Allah curses those who are proud and
arrogant. May Allah destroy you. Soon the wrath and curse of Allah that has
become your destiny will fall upon you. You have to face the immense wrath of
Allah. Verily, you will taste of its severity. May the curse of Allah be upon
oppressors.
Woe be upon you! We know those who obeyed Us and those who
waged war against Us and those who came to our support and those who abandoned
Us, and you were the ones who waged war against Us because your hearts have
become impure from filth. Allah sealed your hearts, eyes and ears. Shaitan
became your leader and led you astray.
O’ People of Kufa! May Allah destroy you! What wrong did
Rasool Allah do against you that caused you to commit such atrocities against
His Brother and My Grandfather Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) and to his Offspring’s?
You felt pride in Our Martyrdom and in Our imprisonment. How can it be that
this ummah (nation) can feel proud in slaughtering those whom Allah Himself
made Pure and kept all impurities from coming near to them. Verily, every person will reap whatever he has sown. Woe be
upon you! You became envious of Us because of the status and greatness which
was bestowed upon Us by Allah. However, Allah Blesses those whom He chooses.
Those who were not created from Noor can never be like those who were created
by Noor.
