Shah ast Hussain (as)

The Shia girl child , fascinates me, she carries on her shoulders the heritage of the resilience of her Race.She traces her ancestry from that Noble mother , of Hassan Hussain.
The Shia girl child , unlike the Shia boy child who in Moharam becomes Man, walking in the footstep of his male elders.
The Shia girl child , is more her Mother,decorating the House Imambada, memorising moms favorite Matams, trying not to go out of tune.
Helping in the distribution of the Hissa at the end of the Matam.
Yes the Shia child takes on the garb of womanhood too.
I have seldom seen a a Shia girl child wanting to be Aishwarya Rai.
The Shia child has a role model , she emulates the love ofor Bibi Sakina the little 4 year old daughter of Hazrat Imam Hussain, who took sufferings in her stride, the walk from Karbala to Damascus, to be mocked , jeered , beaten, her earrings snatched from her bleeding ears, whipped, such was the tragedy of a warrior Imam Hazrat Ali’ s grand daughter Bibi Sakina.
She died a painful death yearning for her Martyred FatherImam Hussain , on whose chest she slept in happier times.
Her water pouch hangs on the Alam Abbas , known as Mashke Sakina.
This little girl is the daughter of Munna from Bhendi Bazar , who recites Namaz on Fire at Supari Talao Bandra.She accompanies him on all main events , dressed as Bibi Sakina in chains captive of the warlord Yazid of the Ummayad Caliphate.
