Lessons from the Sermons of Lady Zeynab (s.a) in Kufa and Syria

(Part One)
The children of Umayyah tried to keep Imam Hussain (a.s) alone, remain a stranger, and martyred him in the depths of the oppression. After martyrdom by capturing his family and companions, they tried to present their victory to the important cities of Islam, namely Kufa and the Levant.  In the intoxicant of this horrible crime to Imam Hussein, they wanted to put out the light of Husayn (a.s), unaware that God is always ambushing the wrongdoers, by the way, that the people of falsehood do not think it. Allah will help the truth by means of which the falsifiers do not suspect. In the story of the captivity of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s), the cards turned against the Umayyad by Allah's will, the captives of Ahl al-Bayt, especially  Lady Zaynab and Imam Sajjad (a.s) not only didn’t show weakness but also during the period of captivity by delivering the most incentive sermons, especially in Kufa and Damascus, made the loneliness and oppressed voice of Imam Hussain (a.s) heard by the people of the world. Lady Zaynab (s.a) by delivering sermons in Kufa and Damascus, fulfilled the goal of Imam Huayan (a.s) and destructed the castle of oppressors.
The Sermons of Lady Zaynab (s.a) teach us lessons and points in the field of personal and socio-political life, which we refer to some of them.
The sermon of Lady Zaynab (s.a) in Kufa:
On the first day of her captivity, Lady Zaynab (s.a) gave a glorious sermon in Kufa. A woman who has seen the martyrdom of her six brothers, and who has suffered a painful journey, must naturally be weary, discouraged, and unable to speak. But Zaynab Al-Kubra (s.a) roars like a lion by delivering a glorious sermon, pouring a torrent of blame on the unfaithful people of Kufa and conquering hearts and emotions. It conveys the main message of Ashura to the people, awakens the sleeping consciences and sows the seeds of revolution against the tyrannical rule of the Umayyad Empire.
Many people in Kufa understood the presence of Imam Ali (a.s) and Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (a.s) and their hearts were with Imam Hussain (a.s), but they were unable to help the Imam because of their negligence and wavering, gave the enemies of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s) the opportunity to parade and exert an exertion and finally martyr Imam and his companions. Lady Zaynab (s.a) addressed the people of Kufa and awakened their consciences and made them regret what they had done. The consequence of Zeinab's sermon is the uprising of Tawabian and the uprising of Mukhtar, which led to revenge from the murderers of Imam Husayn (a.s). 
Lesson Points of Lady Zaynab (s.a) Sermon in Kufa:
1.    In the worst situations we must not give up the right path, and we always should assist it.
2.    We must strengthen our physical and spiritual abilities and we must be an elite and effective people in the right path.
3.    We must be wise and insightful so that we shouldn’t become unsure and neglectful at the critical moment.
4.    We must be Steadfast on the right path and shouldn’t slacken.
