== | == Her vision towards Tragedy of Karbala == | ||
In one of her articles “ Sakineh: The Narrator of Karbala” , she introduced a common ritual “Majles” as an event holding every year in [[Muharram]]. In this ritual event , in Pakistan, people try to show the great role of [[Imam Hussain]]’s daughter [[Sakina bint Hussain|Sakina]] due to the fact that she’d been narrating the tragedy of [[Karbala]] after it happened. The considerable fact is that Sakineh’s age is not known, but she was probably too young to witness a tragedy like Tragedy of Karbala. They estimated that her age was around 5-10. | In one of her articles “ Sakineh: The Narrator of Karbala” , she introduced a common ritual “Majles” as an event holding every year in [[Muharram]].
