The situation of covid-19 is getting worse as there is no vaccination ready until now and people are dying day by day which is decreasing the population. U.s.a is the most effective place right now with 52,000 people getting affected by covid-19. In Italy, there were 800 people effected in a day. Covid-19 is spreading more because people might talk to each other closely and handshake with each other and then it effects the other people and cases increase day by day and now there is a lock down where people cannot go anywhere but stay home instead also some people do not have money to buy anything or eat or drink anything.
Sayyida (our mistress) Sukayna was a blessed daughter of our master Imām Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī-Ṭālib and Lady Rabāb, may Allāh be pleased with them all, and a princess of the family of the Prophet ṣall-Allāhu ʿalaihi wa-sallam. Bibi Sakina (AS) was born on the 1st of Rajab in Madina in 57 A.H.
Her birth name was Amīna, but her mother gave her the title Sukayna and that became her name afterwards. Later, the pronunciation of the name changed to Sakīna which is more popular today than the original Sukayna. She was also given the name “Sakina” as she was a living representation of the meaning of her name which is “tranquillity”. She was a vivacious child full of love and happiness and spread tranquillity to whoever who was in her presence, although she was actually named Aminah after her grandmother, Aminah bint Wahb.
Sayyeda Sakinah grew up in the vast family house of the Prophet, particularly in the Prophet’s nephew Al Hussein bin Ali’s home, may Allah have mercy on them. She grew up on the prophet’s teachings and manners. She and her father were very close and used to pursue peace and serenity in the company of each other.
She was a lively child, full of love and happiness. Being the daughter of the holy Imam, she was different from other children of her age in many ways. She was very religious and enjoyed reading the Holy Quran and never missed her prayers. From a very early age, she took great care to make sure that her head and face were properly covered when in public. She was a hafiz e Quran at four years old.
She earned a high reputation for politeness, intelligence, and morals when she became an adult and turned into a Quraysh family woman. In addition, she had memorized and narrated Rasoolullah’s hadiths (PBUH) depicting her fidelity to Islam. She was the best poet of her age. The great poets of Quraysh used to learn from her.
She had inherited all the virtues and qualities of her ancestors. She was the best of the noble ladies of her time, the most beautiful among them, the most elegant, and the nicest in mannerism. Even though she was so young, she was very patient in the face of suffering and hardship. Her generosity was a manifestation of her noble grandparents. She always had a sweet and cheerful smile and a very friendly nature. She was very generous and always shared whatever she had with others. Her beauty was unparalleled in the women of Arabia, to the extent that people would often exemplify a beautiful woman by saying that she had “the forehead of Sukayna.”
Her mother, Rabab, nicknamed her Sakina because she was a source of peace and comfort to all her family members due to her merriness and liveliness. It was said that her father, Imam Husayn said about her;
By my life, I love the house wherein Sakina and Rabab live
I love her and for her would all my fortune sacrifice,
without blame.
When she grew up, she was married with Muṣʿab ibn Zubayr, son of the well known companion Zubayr ibn al-ʿAwwam raḍiyAllāhu ʻanhu. From him, she had a daughter named Fāṭima. In 72 AH, her husband Muṣʿab was killed by the tyrant Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf, who sent his head to his brother ʿAbdu’llāh ibn Zubayr who had assumed the position of caliph.
The majority of the narrators and historians unanimously agree that Lady Sakina married three times: first to Mus’ab ibn al-Zubayr, followed by Abdullah ibn Uthman ibn Abdullah, and then Zayd ibn Amr ibn Uthman ibn Affan.
The journey of her life ended in the month of Rabīʿ al-Awwal 117 AH in Madīnah according to the strongest opinion of historians. Her body was scented with thirty dīnārs worth of perfume. Her funeral prayer was led by Shaybah ibn Naṣṣāḥ, and she was buried in the Baqīʿ cemetery.
Sakina (AS) sacrificed her whole family for Islam. She showed bravery and patience at all times .She was a source of strength for the other children. Another great leader was Lady Zainab. She was a really accurate representation of the meaning of her name which is something along the lines of: bravery, courage, strength, passion, dedication, love, leader, and most prominent for most, sacrifice. Lady Zainab was all of those things, and more, and there really cannot be enough words to describe this woman’s contribution to the spreading of Islam throughout the world due to her distinct and elevated character.
Allah (SWT) has given everybody strength and power, regardless the gender. These noble women leaders show that women are no less than men. This also shows that when you have good intentions towards something, Allah is always there to help you out no matter what.
She is Amina the daughter of al-Husayn, the son of Ali, the son of Abu Taleb (may Allah be pleased with them all). Bibi Sakina (AS) was born on the 1st of Rajab in Madina in 57 A.H. Her mother is Rabab Bint Umri’ al-Qays, the son of Adiyy, the son of Aws, the master of Banu Kalb. She was a vivacious child, full of love and happiness.
She grew up in the prophet’s expensive family house. She grew up on the prophet’s teachings and manners. She was the best of the noble ladies of her time, the most beautiful among them, the most elegant, and the nicest in mannerism.

By some historical accounts, she married a number of men after the martyrdom of her first husband. These include Ibrāhīm son of the great companion ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf.
She had inherited all the virtues and qualities of her ancestors. She faced extreme hardships throughout her life but faced them with patience and forbearance. Her generosity was a manifestation of her noble grandparents. One day, many poets had gathered at the door of her house, including the well known Jarīr and Farazdaq. She ordered her maid to give away one million dirhams to them. Her beauty was unparalleled in the women of Arabia, to the extent that people would often exemplify a beautiful woman by saying that she had “the forehead of Sukayna.”
She lived most of her life in Madīnah. The journey of her life ended in the month of Rabīʿ al-Awwal 117 AH in Madīnah according to the strongest opinion of historians.

She showed bravery and patience at all times .She was a source of strength for the other children when they were waiting for Hazrat Abbas (AS) to return with water . Sakina (AS) sacrificed her whole family for Islam. Lady Zainab, daughter of Imam Ali (peace be upon them both): For those who know the story and events of Karbala and Ashura, a few seconds of thought about what the name “Zainab” means to us can go something along the lines of: bravery, courage, strength, passion, dedication, love, leader, and most prominent for most, sacrifice.
Lady Zainab was all of those things, and more, and there really cannot be enough words to describe this woman’s contribution to the spreading of Islam throughout the world due to her distinct and elevated character. This shows that Allah has given everybody strength and power, regardless the gender. These noble women leaders show that women are no less than men.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
