Allama Tabatabai speaking about his wife:
“It was this woman who allowed me to reach this position. She has been my partner and whatever books I have written, half [of the credit] belongs to her.”
This one sentence from ‘Allāma Tabātabā’ī is sufficient as an indication of his enlightened view of women. At another time he said:
If a woman did not have importance, God would not have placed the lineage of the 12 Imāms in the progeny of Hazrat Zahra (a). Truly if a woman is noble and good she can make the entire world a rose-garden, and if she is bad she can make the world a hell…Women and men are partners, and after looking after the raising of her children, a woman must become aware and familiar with the affairs of her society.

Imam ar-Ridha (as)
May Allah (swt) bestow upon us, His feeble servants, the honour of sacrificing our lives for the remembrance of Sayyeda Fatima al-Zahra (sa).
O’ Fatima (sa), Surely there exists no calamity greater than the unheard cries of your Mohsin (as).
O’ Fatima (sa), Surely there exists no tragedy greater than your bruised body & broken ribs.

Prof. Sibte Jaffer was a grade 20 officer yet he lived in very simple 2/3 rooms house. He rode a motorcycle despite having the means to buy himself a car. Instead of spending on himself and his family he chose to use his money to help people. He ran a school in Tando Adam where Muslim and Hindus studied for free!
He was offered higher posts including a job at Harvard University which he let go and many more offers from friends, relatives and well wishers.
He was a poet, an intellectual, principal in a college and the best marsiya khuwan ever. He was killed for being a Shia.
