Allah (s) has established Infallibles, Prophets, Holy Imams and certain non Infallible personalities as Role Models for human beings. This stature is separate from other status and position like that of Imamat and Prophethood which has been granted by Allah (s) to them. Divine Role Model is a door for the nation (Ummah) through which the nation (Ummah) should acquaint themselves with this personality which has been appointed as a role model by Allah (s).
In the Holy Quran two personalities have been explicitly mentioned as Role Models; one is our Holy Prophet (s) and other Prophet Ibrahim Khaleelullah (Friend of Allah). But in traditions for almost all infallibles this interpretation is present and even for certain non infallible personalities from the family of Ahlulbayt these interpretations are present. And specifically Lady Zainab (s.a) is a divine role model for entire humanity and not just for ladies.
If we just say that Lady Zainab (s.a) is a role model only for ladies than this would be a deficient and very limited vision about her personality. Lady Zainab (s.a) is a comprehensive role model for entire humanity appointed by Allah (s). The divine opportunities, sciences, merits and virtues which came in the fortune of Lady Zainab (s.a) from Allah (s) no one else received similar opportunities. She was also tested for whatever was granted to her and it was not just that something was given to her. Lady Zainab (s.a) was in reality a tested and examined Lady. This Lady proved her virtues by undergoing the tests and examinations. She passed through difficulties, tests and calamities. The way Prophet Ibrahim is a Quranic Role Model but also an examined model. Allah (s) kept Ibrahim under tests and examinations.

The Bab-ul-Ilm Library is a modern library setup primarily for the Shia Ithna-Asheri community of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. It has been established in the Haji Daya Walji building (Tabligh Building), a stone's throw away from the main KSIJ mosque.

While the connotation from the name of the library (Bab-ul-Ilm) would be of a purely Islamic library, it is much more. It has materials in all fields of life, from picture books for toddlers to secular subjects like politics, psychology, and philosophy.

Madrasah al-Zahra (‘a) is an institute of higher Islamic learning that offers a two-year advanced level Islamic course that is tailor-made to help different groups of ladies in the community. The target groups included current and future teachers, zakirahs (orators), professionals, mothers and those who intended to go for further studies. We intended to ensure that, though we would follow a course similar to the introductory level of hawza, we would also include subjects that would fulfill the community needs.
We also provide specific modules for certain specialized groups e.g. Islamic Banking and Medical Ethics. Students who cannot attend the entire two-year program are permitted to attend specific modules that would be relevant to their fields of study or their interests. More
