Eid-e-Zahra and Divine Justice

This day is also famously known as 'Eid-e-Zahra' (The Eid of Lady Fatima). It is historically recognized as a day when a significant tyrant and oppressor of the Ahl al-Bayt met his demise, bringing a moment of joy to the Prophet's household after the prolonged grief of Karbala. It is a celebration of divine justice.
