The removal of the sacred flag from the Holy Shrine of Sayeda Zainab (SA) by the new government of Shaam (Syria) is an act that has deeply hurt the sentiments of millions of Muslims around the world. We strongly and unequivocally condemn this disrespectful action towards one of the most revered figures in Islamic history.

Sayeda Zainab (SA) is not just a historical personality; she is a symbol of unwavering faith, sacrifice, resistance against oppression, and the protector of the message of Islam after the tragedy of Karbala. Her shrine stands as a beacon of hope and resilience for the faithful across generations.

In response to this act, we echo the timeless words of Sayeda Zainab (SA) herself when she fearlessly addressed the tyrants of her time:

“By Allah, you will never be able to erase our remembrance from the hearts of the people, nor can you destroy our revelation.”
— Sayeda Zainab (SA)

These words, spoken in the aftermath of the tragedy of Karbala, resonate today more than ever. Attempts to erase history, desecrate holy symbols, or diminish the legacy of Ahlul Bayt (AS) will always fail, because their remembrance lives eternally in the hearts of believers.

The Significance of Sayeda Zainab (SA)

Sayeda Zainab (SA) played a pivotal role in preserving the message of Islam after the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS) at Karbala. Her courageous speeches in the courts of Yazid and Ibn Ziyad exposed the injustices faced by the family of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). She turned a moment of immense tragedy into a timeless movement of resistance and remembrance.

Her shrine is not just a place of physical pilgrimage; it is a spiritual symbol of strength, resistance, and loyalty to the truth. Removing the flag from her shrine is seen by millions not just as a political act, but as a deep wound inflicted on their faith and identity.

Our Message to the World

We remind all those who attempt to erase the sacred symbols of Islam: the love of Ahlul Bayt (AS) is not confined to walls, flags, or stones. It is a living flame in the hearts of millions. No power can extinguish it. Every attempt to diminish their legacy only strengthens our commitment to their path.

We stand with Sayeda Zainab (SA), with her message, and with the cause she upheld. We pray for the protection of all holy shrines and the safety of all those who visit them out of love, devotion, and respect.
