As Abu ‘Abd Allah al-Husayn, son of 'Ali and Fatima and grandson of Muhammad, moved inexorably towards death on the field of Karbala’, his sister Zaynab was drawn ever closer to the centre of the family of Muhammad, the ‘people of the house’ (ahl al-bayt). There she would remain for a few historic days, challenging the wickedness of the Islamic leadership, defending the actions of her brother, initiating the commemorative rituals, protecting and nurturing the new Imam, al-Husayn’s son ‘Ali b. al-Husayn b. 'Ali b. Abi Talib, until he could take his rightful place. This is her story.
