| The bravest women of Islam -Bibi Umel Baneen AS |
Bibi Umel Baneen AS
There are many women in Islam who have taken their own life sacrificed and died with great honor. Islam also regards such brave women and never parishes their name away from the minds of true Muslims.
Out of so many, the most important name is "Bibi Umel Baneen AS".She is known as the bravest woman in Islam. She sacrificed her 4 sons Abbass ibne Ali, Jaffer ibne Ali, Abdullah ibne Ali, and Usman ibne Ali in the battle of Kerbala. She became the wife of Imam ALI AS after the death of Janab Syeda A.S. People recites her name in their prayers as she was a very pious lady indeed.
Real name and family background
Her title was “Baneen” meaning "Mother of Sons "but her actual name was “Fatima kalabiyah”. She belonged from a very brave clan 'Banu kilab' that is why she is called as “Fatima Kalibiya” before marriage. His father's name was Huazam al-Kalabiyah and he was a very re-known brave soldier of his clan. He was so brave that people engrave his name on their swords. Yes, she inherited bravery from her father.
Her Marriage
After the death of Bibi Pak Syeda Fatima SA, Hazrat Ali AS asked his brother Aqeel Bin Abi Talib, to search a clan famous for bravery and faithfulness. The reason behind this search was Imam Ali AS wanted a brave and faithful child from a woman of those qualities.
So, Aqeel AS suggested the very name of clan "Al-kalabiya" for this purpose. Imam AS sent his proposal to that family. They happily accepted Imam AS''s proposal and married their daughter Fatima Al-kalabiya AS with Imam Ali AS.
Her real importance
Since she was the mother of a great son “Abbass ibn Ali” her importance doubles. Abbass ibn Ali is also known as "Ghazi Abbass Almadar".He was not only the brother of Imam Hussain AS from another mother but a loyal fellow as well. He was the commander of Imam Hussain AS's army in the battle of Kerbala. He lifted the flag of Imam's army that is why called "Almadar". He was a very brave person as his both hands were cut off in the battle of Kerbala. The saddest part is that when his hands were cut off, he came down to earth from the rein of the horse without his hands. He died in the battle of Kerbala but died with great honor.
In his remembrance of his bravery, every Muslim who is his real follower places a high black flag on their rooftops.
Her poetry
She used to recite poetry in the respect of Imam Hussain A.S after Imam’s death. Her poetry was very sad that people started to cry after hearing it.
She says: " o people coming from Kerbala! , tell me, "River Farat" is still occupied with the soldier of enemies?
or
did anyone sprinkle water on the graves of martyrdom (of Kerbala battle)?".
Her Love for Imam Hussain AS
When Imam Hussain AS was killed in Kerbala and she got to know this, she mourned a lot. She made four imaginary graves of her sons and one for the Imam Hussain AS. She never sat beside the grave of sons but used to sit near the imaginary grave of Imam Hussain AS and cried a-lot there.
She said "o my sons! I won't cry upon you, because your mother is alive but I will cry for Imam Hussain AS whose mother is dead.
On her death bed, before she died, she said to Hazrat Bibi Fizah RA (one of the maidservants of Bibi Syeda SA)
