As the Messenger of Allah\n(PBUH&HP) has given glad tidings of Paradise to the Shiites of Amir\nal-Mu\u2019minin (PBUH) and his Infallible descendents (PBUT) and praised their\ngreatness and high status, likewise, he has given the glad tidings of Paradise\nto the Shiites of Lady Fatimah (PBUH) and praised them for the exact same\nvirtues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018Shia\u2019\u2019 means\nfollower, devotee, and disciple; thus, Shiites of Amir al-Mu\u2019minin (PBUH) are\nthose who achieve guidance from him and are his followers in their intentions,\nmorals, and actions all the time. Similarly, Shiites of Lady Fatimah (PBUH) are\nthose who follow her in their lives and imitate her in all the aspects of their\nlives. However, since all the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) follow the same path, Shiites\nof Lady Fatimah (PBUH) are considered to be equal to the Shiites of Amir\nal-Mu\u2019minin (PBUH), as the Hadiths have mentioned. Hence, Prophet Muhammad\n(PBUH&HP) sometimes praises the Shiites of Amir al-Mu\u2019minin (PBUH) and, at\nother times, praises the Shiites of Lady Fatimah (PBUH). This tradition of the\nProphet illustrates that although Lady Fatimah (PBUH) herself is a follower of\nAmir al-Mu\u2019minin (PBUH) in the straight path of guidance, yet, she is\nconsidered to be an independent model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018When the Day\nof Judgment comes, my daughter will enter the gathering of people while on a\ncamel from the camels of Paradise. The bridle of the camel is made of bright\npearl and its feet are from green emerald… There is a knob (dome) of light on\ntop of it, the outside of which is apparent from its inside and vise versa. The\ninterior of this knob contains rays of Allah\u2019s (SWT) forgiveness, while the\nexterior manifests His mercy. There is a crown of light on top of the knob\nwhich has seventy pillars of pearl and ruby that shine like bright stars in the\nsky. The camel will be accompanied by seventy thousand angels on its left and\nseventy thousand angels on its right. Gabriel will hold the bridle of the camel\nand call with a loud voice: \u2018\u2018Cover your eyes so that Fatimah, daughter of\nMuhammad, may cross.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At that moment, even the Prophets, Siddiqin\n(the truthful ones), and the martyrs will close their eyes out of respect until\nFatimah (PBUH) passes and stops in front of the throne of Allah (SWT). Then,\nAllah (SWT) will call, \u201cO my dear and the daughter of my dear one! Ask from me\nwhatever you want so that I may grant it to you, and intercede for whomever you\nwish so that I would accept your intercession.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fatimah (PBUH) will reply, \u201cO my Lord\nand my Master! Rescue my progeny, my Shiites, my followers, my friends, and the\nfriends of my progeny.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Than, Allah (SWT) will say, \u201cWhere are\nthe progeny of Fatimah (PBUH) and her followers? Where are her friends and the\nfriends of her progeny?\u201d At that point, a group of people will step forward,\nthe angels will surround them from every direction, and Fatimah (PBUH) will\nlead them all together into Paradise. (1).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Roshd Website congratulates all\nMuslims, especially you dear friend, upon the 20th of Jamadi al-Thani, the\nbirthday anniversary of the great blessing and flesh of Prophet Muhammad\n(PBUH&HP), Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (PBUH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1- The\nintercession of Lady Fatimah (PBUH) for the sinners on the Day of Judgment is\nnot arbitrarily; it\u2019s rather dependent on specific requirements (such as having\nfaith) which have to be met in this world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
