Thread: Wafaat of Masooma-e-Qum

Hazrat Masooma-e-Qum(a.s) was born on the first of Zi-qad ,173 A.H ,in Madina-e-Munawwara. Her real name was Fatima-e-Kubra(a.s) because she was the eldest among her (4) sisters and her other sisters were also named Fatima. Her famous title of all her titles is Masooma, because she was a very pious lady and this title was gifted to her by her holy brother Imam Ali Raza (a.s)

The value of making a pilgrimage (the Ziarat) to the shrine of Masooma-e-Qum(a.s) is observed by the words of the holy Imams :

1.Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) has said:”Whoever performs the Ziarat of Masooma-e-Qum(a.s) will be rewarded by a place in Heaven.”

2. Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (a.s) has said: “If you want to earn a place in heaven then perform the Ziarat of Masooma-e-Qum.”

3 .Imam Ali Raza(a.s) has said: “Whoever attends the Ziarat of my sister is like he has performed my Ziarat and indeed he/she will be rewarded a place in Paradise”.

Janabe Masooma(a.s) was only 10 years old when her Holy father Imam Moosa-e-Kazim(a.s) was martyred in the prison of Baghdad. Now she had only her holy brother to look up to, this major grief made her very weak and she carried the strength to be alive only for her brother sake. Imam Ali Raza(a.s) and Masooma-e-Qum (a.s)were born from the same mother and that was why the bond between them was so strong.

After the death of their holy father now Imam Ali Raza(a.s) was charged the responsibilities of Imamate but the cruel Abbasside kings like Haroon Rashid and his son(la) were not going to let the Imam(a.s)live peacefully. After the death of Haroon Rashid his son Mamoon Rashid came to the power. His way of ruling was completely the same as his father’s, and Imam Ali Raza(a.s) was now forced to leave His whole family in Madina for the journey to Khorasan in Iran.

For almost a year Hazrat Masooma(a.s) put up with the separation of her brother but after a year of suffering this separation she couldn’t stand it any longer and decided to leave Madina for the reunion with her brother Imam Ali Raza(a.s) .Hazrat Masooma left Madina for the journey to Marw along with her 5 brothers : Fazl, Jaafar, Hadi, Qasim and Zaid , her nephews and some servants was also with her.

Together they went through many difficulties that occurred in their way. Very soon they reached Sawa a place where there were many enemies of the Ahlul-Bayt(a.s) and therefore the caravan of Hazrat Masooma was attacked by these enemies at Sawa and totally 23 men which among them were the brothers and the nephews of Hazrat Masooma (a.s)were martyred. After this tragedy Hazrat Masooma(a.s) became very ill and weak.

When the leader in Qum , Moosa Ibn-e-Khazraj (ra) who was a shia and a goodhearted man, heard about this tragedy, he immediately sent his men to bring Hazrat Masooma(a.s) to Qum.

Qum was a city where the lovers of the Ahlul-Bayt (a.s)were settled. When Hazrat Masooma's (a.s)caravan was directed to Qum and when she approached the city, she observed that everyone was dressed in black and black banners were visible everywhere. Observing this sad atmosphere Hazrat Masooma ordered her servant lady to ask someone who could tell them about what had happened. Janabe Masooma(a.s) thought and was almost sure that maybe a great leader of this city had died.

When the caravan of Hazrat Masooma (a.s)stopped then Moosa Ibne Khazraj himself came to offer the salutation. When the reason behind the black dressed people and the sadness in the atmosphere was asked , Moosa Ibne Khazraj at first stood quiet with his head bent down but when Hazrat Masooma(a.s) insisted, then Moosa Ibne Khazraj began to cry at first and then offered his condolences at the death of her brother Imam Ali Raza(a.s) .

On hearing these words Hazrat Masooma (a.s)slammed her head and cried so much that she became unconscious. All the servant ladies stopped the camels and a partition was arranged by Moosa Ibne-Khazraj so that the doctors could examine her. In between Hazrat Masooma (a.s)sometimes gained her consciousness and then cried for her brother lamenting:”O’ Gharibul-Watan where are you my brother?” and then she was unconscious again.

She was so deeply hurt by this grief that after her arrival in Qum she was only alive for 17 days.At her death the women in Qum committed the ghusl and kafan and the grave were also dug by the women ,and no men were allowed in this funeral.

At the time of burying the body suddenly and miraculously two veil covered horsemen were sighted. They approached the funeral ceremony and one of them carried the holy body of Hazrat Masooma(a.s) and handed it over to the other who had stepped inside the grave. When the funeral prayers were conducted, the two mysterious horsemen were disappeared. It is reported that these veil covered holy horsemen were Imam Ali Raza(a.s) and Imam Muhammad Taqi(a.s) who miraculously had come to bury the body of Masooma-e-Qum(a.s).

After the burying of Hazrat Masooma(a.s), Moosa Ibne-Khazraj arranged a canvas over the grave of Masooma-e-Qum( sa).Thereafter Zainab Binte Imam Muhammad Taqi(a.s) arranged a tomb of the grave. In 413 A.H this tomb was painted. In 529 A.H a new tomb was made. In 592 A.H the holy tomb was rebuilt. In 1203 A.H the area around the holy shrine of Hazrat Masooma (a.s) was renewed. In 1218 A.H the holy tomb was rebuilt and gold-plated with 12.000 golden bars. And in 1275 A.H the holy grave was surrounded with a silvery Zari.

Hazrat Masooma(a.s) was buried in the holy city of Qum and every year this holy shrine is visited by millions and millions of her lovers all around the world. May Allah give all the Muslims the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to Iran to visit these sacred places! Ameen. At last we extend our condolences to Imam-e-Zamana (a.s) on the death anniversary of Hazrat Masooma-e-Qum (a.s).
