Peace be upon you, O! Fatimah al-Zahra!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peace be upon you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O! Master of the women of both worlds\nfrom the first to the last!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peace be upon you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O! Pious who was martyred!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The highest degree of humanity is\nInfallibility, where the consent and anger is based solely upon the anger and\nconsent of Allah (SWT). An infallible person shows content to whatever Allah\n(SWT) is content with, and shows anger to whatever angers Allah (SWT). Lady\nFatimah (PBUH) is one whom the Almighty Allah is content when she is satisfied,\nand is angry when she is angry. This position has astonished many complete\npeople.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As stated in John’s bible, she is a\ngrand sign who appears in the sky: a woman who has control over the sun, whom\nthe moon is beneath her feet, and who wears a crown holding twelve stars. (1) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As stated in the Torah, the book of\nGenesis, Allah (SWT) informs Abraham (PBUH) that she is the wife of one and\nmother of eleven divine leaders from the sons of Ishmael.(2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is the meaning of “the\nblessed night” mentioned in the Holy Quran, in which ” Therein the\ndetail of every affair which is to happen is made distinct.”(3)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is the unique woman in the history\nwhom Allah (SWT) has considered her prayer in the same status as that of the\nProphet (PBUH&HP) and Amir al-Mu’minin’s (PBUH) prayer on the day of\nMubahilah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is her whom on the night of\nascension (Mi’raj) the Messenger of Allah read (PBUH&HP) this sentence on\nthe door of Paradise: “Fatimah is chosen by Allah.”(4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon explaining her merits, this in\nitself can show her excellence, that the Prophet (PBUH&HP) has said,\n“Fatimah is the first one who enters the Paradise.”(5)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She is the one pearl whom the Almighty\nAllah has said these words about her to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP),\n“We have granted you Kawthar. So worship your Lord and make sacrificial\nofferings.” (The holy Quran, 108:1 & 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considering the previous statements,\nthen what took place after the demise of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) that\nLady Fatimah (PBUH) said with a broken\nheart, “I experienced such sufferings that if bright days would have\nexperienced them, they would turn into dark nights.”(6) When she was going to be buried, all that\nwas left from her body was nothing but merely a figure like a body.(7) Amir\nal-Mu’minin (PBUH) experienced such great grief in this suffering that he\naddressed Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As for my\ngrief (in the loss of Lady Fatimah (PBUH)), it knows no bounds; and from now\non, each of my nights will pass with me staying awake till dawn.”(8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Reference: A\nselection from the sayings of the grand Ayatullah Wahid al-Khurasani, with\ncertain changes)\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ali ibn Isa Erebeli narrates the\nhappenings which led to the martyrdom of Hadrat Fatimah al-Zahra (PBUH). In a\npart of his narration he describes a doleful scene:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
” When\nZahra (PBUH) passed away and was martyred, a cloth was on her body. Asma’ said\nat this time Hassan and Hussain (PBUT) entered and said:” Asma’! Our\nMother did not used to sleep at this time of the day! Asma’ replied:” O\nThe sons of the Messenger of Allah! Your mother is not sleeping, she has passed\naway!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Hassan (PBUH) heard such words,\nhe fell on the body of his mother and kissed her face and addressed her:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
” Dear\nmother! Please talk to me before I pass away.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hussain (PBUH) came near and kissed\nher mother’s feet and said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
” Dear\nmother! I am your son Hussain, talk to me before I pass away.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Reference:\nKashf al-Ghummah, vol.2, p.126)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
