HOLY PROPHET (S.A.W.S.) AND THE LADY OF PARADISE BIBI FATIMA ZAHRA (S.A.)

The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.)’s love for his daughter could be measured by considering many factors e.g. whenever Bibi Fatima (s.a.) comes to his presence, the Leader of the Prophets of Allah used to stand up; whenever he used to go out of Madinah, he would visit Bibi at the end of seeing off others and on his return would visit Bibi as the first person in the city. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) called her “Umme Abiha” meaning Mother of her Father! The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) took her at the renowned “Event of Mubahela” when the priests from Najran argued with him about unity of Allah and at last Allah revealed the Ayah of Mubahela and she represented “The Women”. This Qur’anic Ayah testified the “Truthfulness of Panjetan”

Some of the sayings of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) about the Lady of Paradise are stated below:
