woman and a mother and in terms of her female affection. And all those unparalleled virtues were shown in a life that lasted only 18 years. The existence of such a person is a source of honor in all societies, eras and countries - an 18-year-old young woman with all those spiritual, moral and behavioral virtues. There was not a second such woman in history. Knowing these teachings makes you familiar with the virtues of that great lady,

but you would not get anywhere without the emotional bond, without that love and without the fire of enthusiasm that fills your eyes with tears - both when you hear about the difficulties she went through and when you hear about her virtues. This is something different. This is the emotional and spiritual bond, and it should be preserved.
Since the beginning of the history of Shia Islam up until today, this emotional bond has been a crucial element in Shia Islam and the Shia movement. Of course this emotional bond is one that is based logic and the truth, not empty emotions. Therefore, you see in the Holy Quran that the reward of a mission, love and friendship is in closeness to God. “Say: I ask of you nothing in return for it but love for relatives.” This is a very important point which should be taken into consideration. Any effort to damage this love in any way is a betrayal of the great love for the Holy Prophet’s (s.w.a.) household and the enthusiasm to follow their teachings. You should preserve this love.
