Greatest Woman of Islam
3:51:54 2023-10-14 984

Islam presented a model character of womanhood in the great personalities of Lady Khadijah, the Mother of the Believers, and her daughter Fatima, the truthful.  The former sacrificed the power and glory of abundant wealth for the sake of Islam, and adopted a life of poverty.   The latter followed the footsteps of her mother and left an immortal legacy of human greatness, expressed in her attributes of purity, sincerity, unshakeable faith and contentment with the pleasure of Allah, in happiness and afflictions.

Lady Fatima was born on 20th Jamadi-ul-Thani, five years after the declaration of Prophethood.  Ibn 'Abdul Birr quotes 'Aisha, the wife of the Prophet as saying,  "I have seen no one whose words and speech were as similar to that of the Prophet as Fatima's. " (Al-Isti'ab).   The overwhelming love and respect which existed between the Prophet and his daughter, were based at the apex of human compassion.  When 'Aisha was asked: "Who was the most beloved to the Prophet among men?"  She replied: "Ali".  When she was asked: "Who was the most beloved to him among women?"  She replied: "Fatima".  The Prophet normally welcomed his daughter by rising, taking her hand, kissing her and seating her in his place.   She was the last person the Prophet used to see when leaving Madina; and was the first person the Prophet used to visit on returning back to Madina.

When Ali proposed to marry Fatima, the Prophet gladly accepted after consulting her.  The Prophet said that had it not been for Ali, Fatima would not have had a suitable match.  It was only through the family of Ali and Fatima that the Almighty gave an ever present existence to the progeny of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).  The result of this wedlock was revealed across centuries when, the world of Islam witnessed constructive contribution made by the lineage of Ali and Fatima, in the field of science, exegesis of the Quran, ahadith (traditions) of the Prophet, Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), adab (literature) and other branches of knowledge.  They broke the record of bravery in Jihad - the struggle for the sake of Allah and His religion.
