A fourth child was born in the poor family living in Basra, a city of Iraq.

When the mother came to know that she is a daughter instead of being a son, she unintentionally said: Rabia which means fourth daughter. Parents gave this daughter, a name of Rabia . After some time, father of this girl saw Holy Prophet (PBUH) in his dream. Holy Prophet said: Dont get afraid, your daughter will be a blessing. After few years, father of these girls died, followed by their mother and these girls were left alone. Their father was a fisher man, hence Rabia started bread winning through fishing. Rabia had a firm faith on the day of judgement. Before death Rabias father asked her: Rabia what if you would have none but a Haram (forbidden) thing . She replied anxiously: father hunger can be tolerated, but no one can tolerate hells fire. One night Rabia saw noor (light) everywhere and she was swimming in this light. Meanwhile, a voice was heard, which advised Rabia to make a firm relationship with Holy Quran. After this Rabias life got changed and she used to pray and read Holy Quran day and night. She stayed in different areas sometimes due to incidents and at other times for getting education. At last she breathed her last in Palestine. She was lucky enough to get a grave in Koh-Toor. She belonged to the family of Banu Adwah and she is known in arab as Rabi-ul-Adwiah and we know her with the name of Rabia Basri. People also get inspired from Rabia Basri even nowadays. And millions of muslim girls name are attributed with her name, although the meaning of Rabia is fourth one. There is also a mosque in the Cairo with her name. There is a roundabout just adjacent to Masjid-ul-Adwiah, which is encircled with very wide roads. You must have remembered that two years ago Tahrir Square was the center of movement against Hosni Mubaraks thirty years and jointly his forty six years military dictatorship rule. Approximately two months ago on 30th june, 2013 Tahir Square was also a center of movement against President Morsis supported by Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Defence respectively. President Morsis supporters also organized rallies in support of him and chose Rabia ground to avoid any confrontation. At that time, no one knew that this movement will turn historic and Rabia ground will itself turn into an important historical aspect. General Sessi ousted elected government in just one year, so the governments supporters organized protest movements not only in Rabia ground but also in the length and breadth of the country till the restoration of government and the constitution. Protests were everywhere in the country against the military regime but Rabia ground had a distinguishing feature. Without any doubt, hundreds of thousands of children, women and old men sat for the forty six days here in Rabia ground from 24 June to 14th August. They continued their sit inns even during Ramazan and till Eid-ulFitar. During this, General Sessi ordered his forces to fire at protesters while they were praying namaz-e-zuhar. Four hundred men including seven women were killed. Hundreds of people got injured by cartrigdes but no one fled and was not ready to leave Rabia ground. During this, international negotiators came. Foreign Ministers from America, European Union and Middle East came Cario. Unfortunately all these people agreed on one point, that was to end protests. Whether it was publics demand pertaining to restoration of constitution, elected parliament or elected president, nothing was American or Civilized Worlds issue. Egyptians sacrificed one thousand lives while protesting against the regime of Hosni Mubarak and four hundred men against the rule of General Sessi in the initial days of movement. Protesters were not befouled by these so called negotiations. Without any doubt, hundreds and thousands of Holy Qurans were recited, tarawihs and tahajuds were offered. Tafseers, iftars, sehris, educational classes for children and many other blessed activities remained continued there. All of these remained continued in a peaceful and a popular

democratic manner. Even Rabia ground had a feather of Egypts biggest congregation at eid-ul-fitar in its cap. Women prepared special eid dishes, amusement programes along with football matches were organized there. While during all this, governments media machinery started creating a perception for using any kind of force to end these congregations. People who were sitting there for forty eight days including children, elderly and women were branded as terrorists, possessing heavy weapons. Even though, protesters were shamefully charged with the charge of extracting Uranium. And AKHWAN wants to destroy the whole country, due to snatching of power from them. Ulemas were used to brain wash soldiers in army barracks and police camps. With the aid of effective propaganda, protesters were declared liable to be killed. And, on 14th of august after namaz-e-zuhar, these hundreds of thousands of protesters were attacked with tanks, bildozers, gun ship helicopters and with snipper riffles installed on all the four sides of tall buildings. An operation clean up was started to inflict death on millions of people. A camp housing women was torched. Asma Baltaji, a single daughter of AKHWANs leader Albalaji along with many other were killed by firing bullets in their heads and bodies at point blank and a worst bloody chapter was written in Eqyptian history. Massacre continued throughout the day, thousands were injured and captured. It was Wednesday and Egptian public instead of confining themselves to their homes due to fear, were on the streets the following next day. Seesis government again fired and hundreds were martyred. People protested on Friday, by giving it a name of Youm-ul-Ghazab. Military regime again fired, dozens were injured, killed and arrested. The same day, even Cairos Fateh mosque, which has highest minaret was fired. From this day, country is continuously witnessing protests and massacres. According to records and AKHWANS statement five thousand innocent citizens have been killed. General Sessi and his government thinks that they have weakened those who want restoration of elected government and suppressed peoples movement. But people have believe that atlast they will win over Pharohs regime. Egyptain and international media is nearly neglecting AKHWANs protests. However, people are continuously rendering sacrifices. Despite of the continued Pharoish designs of General Sessi, protests are continuing, without a gap of a single day. Out of all these protests, protests pertaining to 30th august 2013 are worth mentioning. On this millions of people came on the streets in every nook and corner of the country. Military threatened people, fired on protesters, killed more innocent people but protests continued. Those who organized these protests-Eqypts National united front, has announced for launching civil disobedience movement, in addition to these protests. Two popular slogans of these protests are: End, end, military regime should come to end and Seesi, get lost, my president is Mursi. The symbol of this movement against Sessi were four fingers. Lot of readers know that, in Arabic four is called as ARBAH. It also infers fourth one- RABIA. You have already read why was Rabia Basrah famous for. By raising your four fingers, forty eight days long protest and the catastrophe which was inflicted on protesters was remembered. Along with this, this line has been written KULNA-e-RABIA (we all are Rabia ground). It has been ensured that everyone is part of this journey and the hearts are attached to this movement. This journey will continue and we will not let waste sacrifices of Rabia ground. Thats why this symbol is also called AILANAT-e-Samood (Get sticked). Interesting thing is that, this is now an internationally renowed symbol. According to the news from Turkey, roads, parks and empty plots have been renamed as RABIA. In the last two months only, parents of around 243 girls choose their name as RABIA. On the friday night of august 30th RABIA was written with laser lights installed on the ships parked in the sea near Eqypts

consulate. Dresses with four fingers printed on them are getting popular in youngsters. While observing a market trend, chinese companies have also started printing this symbol of four fingers on mobile cassings, purses, bags and other articles of daily use. Blood tainted government of General Sessi wanted to get rid of one Rabia ground but the entire Egyptian nation and worlds justice loving people are proving a bulwark against it.
