Celebrating the Birth of Sayyida Zaynab bint Imam ‘Ali (a.s.) 6 A.H. There is nothing that can be compared to the birth of a new child to bring about joy and a renewed sense of love amongst a family Рand the family of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) is no exception. It was on the 5th of Jamadiul Awwal, some 5 years after the migration to Madinah that a girl was born into the family of Amirul Mumineen Ali ibne Abi Talib and Fatima az-Zahra (peace be upon them both).
