The Role of Zainab (s): The sister of Hussain - Father Christopher Clohessy

“The Lady Fātima and her son al-Husayn are very attractive figures for Catholic Christians especially, since there are clear parallels between them and the figures of Jesus and Mary in Christianity.” Christopher Clohessy "Fātima and her daughter Zaynab. Both of them, in the struggle against tyranny and injustice (Fātima after the death of her father and Zaynab after Karbalā’) provide contemporary women with archetypes or models for standing firm in some of the struggles humanity faces today.” Christopher Clohessy
