Birth
Fatimah, the only daughter of the Holy Prophet of
Islam, was born in Mecca on 20th jumada 'th-thaniyah
18 B.H. The good and noble lady Khadijah and the
Apostle Of Allah bestowed all their natural love,
care and devotion on their lovable and only child
Fatimah.
Character
The Princess of the House of the Prophet, was very
intelligent, accomplished and cheerful. Her sermons,
poems and sayings serve, as an index to her strength
of character and nobility of mind. Her virtues
gained her the title "Our Lady of Light". She was
tall, slender and endowed with great beauty, which
caused her to be called "az-Zahra'" (the Lady of
Light). She was called az-Zahra' also because her
light used to shine among those in heaven.
Marriage
After arriving in Medina, she was married to 'Ali,
in the first year after Hijrah, and she gave birth
to three sons and two daughters. Her children, Hasan,
Husayn, Zaynab and Umm Kulthum are well-known for
their piety, goodness and generosity. Their strength
of character and actions changed the course of
history. The Holy Prophet said, "Fatimah is a piece
of my heart". He would go out to receive his
daughter whenever she came from her husband's house.
Every morning on his way to the Mosque, he would
pass by Fatimah's house and say, "as-Salamu 'alaykum
ya ahli bayti 'n-nubuwwah wa ma'dani 'r-risalah"
(peace be on you O the Household of Prophethood and
the Source of Messengership).
The Best Woman
Fatimah is famous and acknowledged as the "Sayyidatu
nisa'i 'l-'alamin" (Leader of all the women of the
world for all times) because the Prophethood of
Muhammad would not have been everlasting without
her. The Prophet is the perfect example for men, but
could not be so for women. For all the verses
revealed in the Holy Qur'an for women, Fatimah is
the perfect model, who translated every verse into
action. In her lifetime, she was a complete woman,
being Daughter, Wife and Mother at the same time. As
a daughter, she loved her so much, that she won
their love and regard to such an extent that the
Holy Prophet used to rise, whenever she came near
him. As a wife, she was very devoted. she never
asked 'Ali for anything in her whole life. As a
mother, she cared for and brought up wonderful
children; they have left their marks on the face of
the world, which time will not be able to erase.
Death
The death of the Apostle, affected her very much and
she was very sad and grief-stricken and wept her
heart out crying all the time. The tragedy of her
father's death was too much for the good, gentle and
sensitive lady and she breathed her last on 03rd
jumada 'th-thaniyah 11 A.H., the Holy Prophet
of Islam. Fatimah died in the prime of her life at
the age of eighteen, and was buried in Jannatu 'l-Baqi',
Medina.

1.
Allah made all the beings without previous matter &
samples & shapes & pattern. And made them wear the
dress of life by His main & might & created them
according to His divine will & Intention, short of
it that He might have needed their creation, or have
wished any benefit for Himself from their shaping &
sketching, except this that he wanted to give a
proof of His wisdom & make the people (creation)
aware about His obedience & submission, & invited
them to his servitude & worship & make His
invitation grand & ostentatious.
2. Allah fixed the reward for His obedience &
torment for His insubordination & disobedience, so
that He may restrain His servants from His wrath &
fury & lead them to His paradise.
3. I testify that there is no Deity (LORD) except
the sole & matchless Allah. And the testification of
the singleness of Allah is a word that Allah has
declared sincerity (as) it's reality, & made the
hearts the centre of it's contact & union. And has
made the specifications & research of the oneness of
Allah's station obvious & evident in the light of
meditation. The Allah who can not be seen by the
eyes & tongues are unable & baffled to describe His
virtues & attributes. And the intelligence &
apprehension of man is helpless & destitute from the
imagination of his howness.
4. Allah saw nations & groups had various different
sects in their religion & scattered & staying on on
the verge of the fires of differences, busy with
their idol worshipping. They denied God with all the
signs & symbols of HIM. So Allah illuminated the
darkness through my father Mohammad (SAW) and
removed the darkness from their hearts, removed
(cured) the blindness of the eyes.
5. The Prophet (P.B.U.H) said to Fatima (SA), "what
is the thing which is a blessing for a women?"
She said that, "she must not see a man (stranger &
not intimate) & a man must not see her".
6. Allah made the faith for you as a purity from
polytheism (& infidelity).
7. And (made) service the cause of your getting
distant (purification) from pride (egoism).
8. And rendered fasting for the maintenance &
firmness of your sincerity.
9. And Allah set Hajj for the consolidation &
reinforcement of the religion.
10. Allah executed & rendered justice for the sake
of putting together & harmonization of the hearts.
11. And Allah set the subordination & obedience of
us (the household of the Prophet (P.B.U.H) for the
security of society's system & our Imamate as a
safety from segregation & disunity.
12. And (Allah made) Jihad (holy war), the honor &
glory for Islam & abjectness & humbleness for the
infidels & hypocrites.
13. And (Allah rendered) patience as a help for
getting reward.
14. And (Allah caused) commanding goodness &
forbidding to do evil for the amendment & correction
of society & the common folks (public).
15. And (Allah made) the kindness to parents as a
protection (shield) to His wrath & displeasure.
16. And Allah made joining & connecting with the
kinship & cognation, the cause of lengthening of
life.
17. And Allah made law of retaliation (revenge for
homicide) as the security of blood (from being
shed).
18. And Allah executed the vow performing as a
medium for forgiveness.
19. And (Allah rendered) prohibition from drinking
wine the cause of taking distance from
contaminations (evils).
20. And Allah prohibited polytheism for the sake of
(bringing about) sincerity in (His) adoration &
worship. |
