SAYYIDAH FATIMAH (THE
ZAHRA)
By: Shaikh Fakhruddin
Owaisi
ON THE 3RD OF RAMADAN passed away the most
beloved of people to Rasul-Allah (SAW), and the greatest woman to walk on this
earth, Sayyidah Fatimah ﻋﻠﻴﻬﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ .
Known as the "Zahra" i.e. Flower of
her Father, she was the youngest of his daughters but the closest to his heart,
and the most similar to him in his outward and inward characteristics.
Indeed, many scholars (eg. Imam Malik) considered
her higher in rank than all the Sahabah, as the Prophet (SAW) had said about
her:
"Fatimah is a
piece of me. Whatever pleases her pleases me, and whatever hurts her hurts
me".
Due to her continuous service and devotion to
her Father, he also called her: "The mother of her father! أم
أبيها!
She was his favorite woman, and he married
her to his favorite man, Ali ﻋﻠﻴﻪ
ﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ,
by the order of Allah Himself.
And this favorite couple gave birth to his
favorite children, Hasan & Husayn, the "Masters of the youth of
Paradise".
When Allah ordered the Prophet (SAW) to face
the Christians with "Your womenfolk ﻧﺴﺎؤﻧﺎ ", he (SAW) only brought forward
Fatimah (despite having 9 wives then). With them was Ali and the pure Hasanayn.
It is to her, the Prophet (SAW) said:
"You will be
the first of my family to join me and indeed you are the Queen of all the women
of Paradise".
And so Fatimah Zahra passed away exactly 6
months after her noble Father (SAW). She passed away due to her immense grief
and unbearable sadness at the seperation from her Heart and Soul, her Father
the Mustafa (SAW).
BEWARE here of ignorant haters who falsely
claim that she - God forbid - "was killed/martyred by this Sahabi or
that".
This is an absolute lie, based on an
obsession with "victimisation", plus hate for the man (Sayyidna Umar)
who openly stated:
"O Fatimah! Allah knows there is no man
we loved like your father, and there is no one we love after him more than
YOU".
This story of the murder (invented in the 2nd
century by Shia extemists) is an insult to Ali, Umar and Fatimah; nay the whole
of the Ahl al-Bayt and the Sahabah! رضوان
الله عليهم
Sayyidah Fatimah lived under the care and
protection of her father Rasul-Allah (SAW) and her husband the Lion of Allah
Ali the Haydar (RA). No human or Jinn would dare touch her.
Fatimah doesn't need to be a Shaheed. She is
the mother of the Shuhada. She is greater than all the Shaheeds of this world.
The Ahl al-Bayt themselves reject this ugly lie.
But be history as it may, FATIMAH ZAHRA
remains the favorite of all Muslims, and her name is the most popular of all
names.
After her death, she was washed by her friend
Asma bint Umays (the wife of Abu-Bakr al-Siddiq).
There is a difference of opinion regarding
where she was buried; as by her will, it was done quietly in the night with no
fanfare.
Some say Jannat al-Baqi, where "her grave"
is well known. Others mention that she was buried in her room, right next to
her Father (SAW)'s Room, under the Green Dome today.
Like many Awliya and Ulama, I personally
believe she is buried there, near the Prophet (SAW).
We conclude with greeting the Lady of
Paradise:
ﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ
ﻋﻠﻴﻚ ﻳﺎ ﻓﺎﻃﻤﺔ ﺍﻟﺰﻫﺮﺍﺀ!
ﻳﺎ
ﺳﻴﺪﺓ ﻧﺴﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻌﺎﻟﻤﻴﻦ!
ﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ
ﻋﻠﻴﻚ ﻳﺎ ﺑﻨﺖ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ!
يا
أم الحسنين!
