Abstract

The dynamic approach of Lady Zahra (peace be upon her) refers to the organized steps she took following the death of her father, the Master of Creatures, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This was driven by her faith and belief in his (peace be upon him) command to Imam Ali (peace be upon him) regarding his rightful position as the Imam and successor after him (peace be upon him). It highlights the role she played in light of this deep conviction, within the constraints of the circumstances at that time.

It is worth noting that the mother of her father (1), purified from filth (2), the knowledgeable and eloquent lady (3), is far from engaging in the disputes among the companions regarding the succession of the Messenger of God (peace be upon him) for worldly matters. She, who was described by the narrator Abu Na’im in his account of her in "Al-Hilya," stating: "Indeed, peace be upon her, is among the worshippers of the chosen ones, and the pure among the pious, the chaste, the beloved one, who is the closest to the Messenger [of God] in heart and the first to join him after his passing. She turned away from the pleasures of this world, and was aware of its hidden faults and its afflictions" (4).

We firmly believe that she acted in accordance with her obligations toward the Prophet of the Ummah (peace be upon him) and his successor (peace be upon him). This action was, for those who wish to know, the decisive factor that unveiled the dimensions of the conflict and its purpose from that time until God wills.
