Christian scholar seeks Hazrat Zahra's (SA) intercession

In a heartwarming acknowledgment of Hazrat Zahra's (SA) spiritual significance, Professor Christopher Paul Clohessy, a prominent Christian priest and scholar, has expressed his profound admiration and hope.

He said, “I hope for the intercession of Hazrat Zahra (SA) on the Day of Judgment.”

The teachings of Islamic tradition highlight the exceptional status of Hazrat Zahra (SA), the beloved daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

On the Day of Judgment, according to a narration, Angel Gabriel will call forth revered women of history: Hazrat Zahra (SA), Khadijah bint Khuwaylid (SA), Maryam bint Imran (SA), Asiya bint Muzahim (SA), and Umm Kulthum (SA), mother of Prophet Yahya.

In this celestial gathering, Almighty God will announce:
“O people of the gathering! Today, to whom does all honor and generosity belong?”
The reply, echoed by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Imam Ali (AS), Imam Hassan (AS), and Imam Hussein (AS), will be: “To Allah, the One and Subduer.”

God will then declare that honor and generosity are bestowed upon Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), Imam Ali (AS), Imam Hassan (AS), Imam Hussein (AS), and Hazrat Zahra (SA). He will command all present to lower their gaze in reverence as Hazrat Zahra (SA) is escorted to Heaven in unparalleled grandeur.

The traditions describe how Angel Gabriel will present a heavenly camel adorned with exquisite embellishments for Hazrat Zahra's (SA) journey. Accompanied by legions of angels, she will be carried with honor toward the gates of Heaven. 

Upon reaching Heaven, Hazrat Zahra (SA) will pause and look around. When God inquires about her hesitation, she will humbly express her wish for her status to be recognized. God will then grant her the authority to intercede, commanding her to lead all those who hold love for her or her progeny into Heaven.

The narration further emphasizes that Hazrat Zahra (SA) will meticulously separate her true followers from others, likening it to a bird picking the best grains from the chaff.

Professor Clohessy’s remarks reflect a profound respect for the values of compassion, intercession, and divine grace represented by Hazrat Zahra (SA).
