The Lady of Heaven, Fatimah -By Muhammad Sagir Bauchi
Mother of the believers, Aisha bint Abubakar, narrated that the Prophet said to Fatimah “O Fatima, I give you the good tidings that Allah made you superior to all women of the world, and made you superior to all the women of Islam.”
Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad bin Abdullah and his wife Khadijah, was the beloved daughter of the Prophet Muhammad and enjoyed his love more than any other woman on Earth. She is highly respected by all sects of Islam, with the exception of the Nawasib and Khawarij.
The Shi’as see her as the mother of their eleven Imams, as they were all descended from her, and also as the wife of their first Imam, Ali. The Sufis from the Sunnis see her as the mother of all the mu’assis of their Tariqa, except for the NAQSHBANDIS. She is also the mother of all their Awliya’s.
The Salafist and others see her as a beloved daughter of the Prophet who deserves their unapologetic love and respect.
Fatimah was an extraordinary woman who deserves to be loved and respected by all human beings. Her father, the Prophet Muhammad, said, “Allah, the most High, is pleased when Fatimah is pleased and He is angered whenever Fatimah is angered” and that “Fatimah is a flesh from me.”
Mother of the believers, Aisha bint Abubakar, narrated that the Prophet said to Fatimah “O Fatima, I give you the good tidings that Allah made you superior to all women of the world, and made you superior to all the women of Islam.”
Fatimah possessed all the intellectual abilities and virtues of her father and was given several honorable titles by the Prophet, one of which was “The mistress of the women of the worlds.” She was born on the 20th of Jumadha Thani and was blessed with two sons, Imam Hassan and Husain, and two daughters, Zainab and Ummu Khulthum. She passed away on the 3rd of Jumadha Thani 11Ah.
May Allah’s blessings continue to be with her and may she be pleased with our extreme love.
