The Shrine and Mausoleum of Sayyeda Zeinab is located in Damascus Syria. Sayyeda Zeinab, Granddaughter of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Daughter of Imam Ali (as) and Fatima Al Zahra (as) and Sister of Imam Hussein (as)
One of the few Survivors of the tragedy of Karbala, Sayyeda Zeinab is perhaps the most important link to the events of Ashura. As a first hand witness to that unimaginable crime. Sayyeda Zeinab (as) gave shattering testimony about the minute details that unfolded on the battlefield as well as what occurred in the aftermath of Karbala, Particularly in the Court of the accursed Tyrant Yazid.
The Stance of the Great Sayyeda Zeinab greatly mirrored the actions of her blessed mother Fatima (as), before her, and thus enshrined in action, precedent and benchmark the truest female role model in the Islamic traditions and continues to be an inspiration to all Muslims, till this very day.
