Sayyida Fatima Zahra
(s.a.) was the beloved daughter of the Chief of Prophets the Noble Messenger
(s.a.w.a.s.), who said, “Fatima is a part of me”. A part has all the qualities
and the characteristics of the whole whose part it is!
Her sayings are reproduced below:
If fasting cannot
prevent a person’s tongue, ears, eyes and limbs from committing sins then what
is the use of such fast?
The best thing for a woman is that she does not look at a na’mahram
male nor a na’mahram male looks at her.
A woman is closest to her Lord during the time when she is
at her home (and busy with her house work and children).
The best of you is
the one whose treatment (with people) is the most moderate (and affectionate),
and the worthiest of them are those who behave graciously (and honorably) with their
wives.
Three things are dear
to me from your world:
Recitation of (the Glorious) Qur’an
Looking at the face of (the
Noble) Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.)
Giving away in the way of God
Indeed, after the
event of Ghadir Khum, Almighty God has left neither a single excuse nor claim
for anyone to deny the Vilayat (leadership) of Ali.
Indeed, fathers of this Ummah are Prophet Muhammad
(s.a.w.a.s.) and Ali (a.s.), and if the Ummah willfully obeys them, then its deficiencies
will be cured and it will be saved from eternal punishment ……And when they are
followed then eternal blessings will descend upon the Ummah.
The one who recites
Surahs Hadid, Wa’qia and Rahman (of the Glorious Qur’an) is recognized in
Heavens and the earth as a resident of Paradise.
Allah assigned Faith
for you as a purification from polytheism, Prayers as being free from pride,
Alms-Zakat as a refinement of the soul and increase of the sustenance, Fasting
for placing sincerity.
Hajj as a cause of
strength in the religion (of Islam), Justice as means of harmonization of
hearts, Our obedience as a source of organization of (Islamic) community.
Our master ship as a
protection from dispersion, Holy struggle as a glory of Islam, Patience as a
means of absorbing rewards (from Allah).
Enjoining right and
forbidding wrong as a means of improvement of common people, Doing goodness to
the parents as a barrier for the Wrath (of Allah)
Strengthening blood kinship as a cause of increase in
population and power, Blood money as prevention of blood sheds (a security of
lives), Fulfillment of promise as an extension of forgiveness.
Hindering from
defrauding in scales and measures as a means against deficiencies,
Discouragement of drinking wine (alcoholic liquors) as a cause of purification
from abominations.
Avoiding from accusation as a curtain before the curse of
Allah, Abandoning theft for the protection of modesty of self, Prohibition of
polytheism as sincerity in servitude to Him and Lordship of the world.
