Birth
Fatimah, the only daughter of the Holy Prophet of Islam, was born in
Mecca on 20th jumada 'th-thaniyah 18 B.H. The good and noble lady
Khadijah and the Apostle Of Allah bestowed all their natural love, care
and devotion on their lovable and only child Fatimah.
Character
The Princess of the House of the Prophet, was very intelligent,
accomplished and cheerful. Her sermons, poems and sayings serve, as an
index to her strength of character and nobility of mind. Her virtues
gained her the title "Our Lady of Light". She was tall, slender and
endowed with great beauty, which caused her to be called "az-Zahra'"
(the Lady of Light). She was called az-Zahra' also because her light
used to shine among those in heaven.
Marriage
After arriving in Medina, she was married to 'Ali, in the first year
after Hijrah, and she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Her
children, Hasan, Husayn, Zaynab and Umm Kulthum are well-known for their
piety, goodness and generosity. Their strength of character and actions
changed the course of history. The Holy Prophet said, "Fatimah is a
piece of my heart". He would go out to receive his daughter whenever she
came from her husband's house. Every morning on his way to the Mosque,
he would pass by Fatimah's house and say, "as-Salamu 'alaykum ya ahli
bayti 'n-nubuwwah wa ma'dani 'r-risalah" (peace be on you O the
Household of Prophethood and the Source of Messengership).
The Best Woman
Fatimah is famous and acknowledged as the "Sayyidatu nisa'i 'l-'alamin"
(Leader of all the women of the world for all times) because the
Prophethood of Muhammad would not have been everlasting without her. The
Prophet is the perfect example for men, but could not be so for women.
For all the verses revealed in the Holy Qur'an for women, Fatimah is the
perfect model, who translated every verse into action. In her lifetime,
she was a complete woman, being Daughter, Wife and Mother at the same
time. As a daughter, she loved her so much, that she won their
love and regard to such an extent that the Holy Prophet used to rise,
whenever she came near him. As a wife, she was very devoted. she never
asked 'Ali for anything in her whole life. As a mother, she cared for
and brought up wonderful children; they have left their marks on the
face of the world, which time will not be able to erase.
Death
The death of the Apostle, affected her very much and she was very sad
and grief-stricken and wept her heart out crying all the time. The
tragedy of her father's death was too much for the good, gentle and
sensitive lady and she breathed her last on 14th jumada 'l-ula 11 A.H.,
exactly seventy-five days after the death of her father, the Holy
Prophet of Islam. Fatimah died in the prime of her life at the age of
eighteen, and was buried in Jannatu 'l-Baqi', Medina.
