LADY OF PARADISE FATIMA ZAHRA (SA)
Allama Iqbal, the famous poet,
philosopher and thinker of
Pakistan, was a Sunni Muslim,
and a devout admirer of Ahley
Bayt. His Urdu and Persian work
is full of praise for Imam Ali,
Imam Husayn apart from Prophet
Mohammad. In his Persian book
Ramooz-e-Bekhudi, he had written
a qaseedah praising The Lady of
Paradise. I will reproduce it
first in transliteration
followed by English translation.

Az se nizbat hazrat e Zahra aziz
Hazrat Maryam is exalted by only
one relation of being the mother
of Hazrat Eisa, but Hazrat Zahra

was Imam and Imam Hasan and Imam
Husayn were her children.
