The Fall of the Imam

"My mother died a virgin and so will I’, to which they reply, ‘You are the child of sin and your mother was stoned to death’"

"A strange face, neither human nor animal; a face that belonged not to a man, or to a father, or to an Imam’"

"Just before she dies, Bint Allah always asks her murderers polemical questions: ‘What crime can be the crime of a virgin never touched by the hand of a man?’"

"‘It was he that took me away from my misery. I saw him seated on his throne and fell in love with him immediately’"
