Contents:
Qurrat al-'Ayn, was the leader of the Babi messianic movement, which is considered the most important religious current in the modern history of Shia Islam. From 1844-1850 this revolutionary movement caused widespread unrest across the country and finally came to a tragic end. Qurrat al-'Ayn was a revolutionary and talented woman who fought against the prejudices of the patriarchal society in which she lived. She was despised and condemned by some and treated with endless praise and admiration by others. Muslim historians and narrators made polemical judgments about her, accusing her of heresy and immorality and the pursuit of boundless freedom. Historians, in turn, revered her and gave her the status of a saint. Her name was equated with those of other holy figures such as the Virgin Mary and the Prophet's daughter, Fatima. She was even referred to as the Persian "Jeanne d'Arc". The fight for emancipation and equality was and is counted among their motives for action. She is therefore often portrayed as a feminist heroine and pioneer of the western women's movement.

Qurrat al-’Ayn, war die Führerin der messianischen Babi-Bewegung, die als die wichtigste religiöse Strömung in der neuzeitlichen Geschichte des schiitischen Islam gilt. 1844-1850 löste diese revolutionäre Bewegung landesweit große Unruhen aus und nahm schließlich ein tragisches Ende. Qurrat al-’Ayn war eine revolutionäre und talentierte Frau, die gegen die Vorurteile der patriarchalen Gesellschaft, in der sie lebte, kämpfte. Sie wurde von den einen verachtet und verurteilt und von den anderen mit unendlichem Lob und Bewunderung bedacht. Muslimische Historiker und Erzähler fällten polemische Urteile über sie, warfen ihr Ketzerei vor und bezichtigten sie der Unmoral und des Strebens nach maßloser Freiheit. Historiker wiederum verehrten sie und verliehen ihr den Status einer Heiligen. Ihr Name wurde mit denen anderer heiliger Figuren wie der Jungfrau Maria und der Tochter des Propheten, Fatima, gleichgesetzt. Man bezeichnete sie sogar als persische „Jeanne d’Arc”. Der Kampf um Emanzipation und Gleichberechtigung wurde und wird zu ihren Handlungsmotiven gezählt. Sehr häufig wird sie daher als feministische Heldin und Pionierin der westlichen Frauen-Bewegung dargestellt.
