Bayat from women
The 12th verse of chapter Mumtahana was revealed on the day of the conquest of Mecca . Allah orders His Messenger to demand allegiance from the women:
"O Prophet! When believing women come to you giving you a pledge that they will not associate ought with Allah, and will not steal, and will not kill their children and will not bring a calumny which they have forged of themselves, and will not disobey you in what is good, accept their pledge, and ask forgiveness for them from Allah, surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.'
The exegists have written in explanation of the verse that on the day of the
conquest of Mecca when the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had taken the oath of allegiance from the men at the hill of Safa, the women of Mecca who had accepted Islam came to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) to pledge their allegiance. The verse clearly tells us the points upon which the oath was to be taken. However, the method of accepting allegiance was as follows:
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) ordered that a vessel filled with water should be brought to him. The women put their hands in the vessel and then the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) also inserted his hand in it. Thus the oath of allegiance was taken from the women.

Trying To Build Society based on Peace and Justice
The one who love Imam e zaman(a.t.f.s) must be prepared to struggle and
labour his self, his pen and his wealth in the way of Imam e
zaman(a.t.f.s)
I remember the words of Imam (a.s), that we are responsible for the
duty, and not for the result. A warm smile washes away the tension of
confusion, as I thank Allah for the presence of my friend, whom Allah
may protect, and guide
IMAM E ZAMANA (a.f.t.s) Bless you And All Your Family those help others
and learn islam.
