Afghans mark martyrdom anniversary of Prophet Mohammad’s daughter

Afghan capital Kabul, this week, hosted multiple ceremonies to mark the martyrdom anniversary of Prophet Mohammad’s (Blessings of God upon him and his progeny) daughter, Hazrat Fatema az-Zahra (PBUH).

According to Press TV, the events drew people from all walks of life and included prayers and giving lectures by the scholars on the life and services of Hazrat Zahra (PBUH).

The commemoration of Hazrat Fatema az-Zahra’s martyrdom anniversary comes as the Taliban have banned Afghan women from most social activities. Religious experts say that getting education and taking social roles by women are not against Islamic rules.

Participants in Fatimiya gatherings also said that fighting against arrogance is one other lesson people can learn from Hazrat Fatema’s school of thought. Afghan women consider Hazrat Zahra (PBUH) as their best role model. They also honor her services and sacrifices for the sake of Islam.
