O Hazrat Fatima (R.A.), what kind of woman did Allah make you?

*O Hazrat Fatima (R.A.), what a standard of woman did Allah make you?*

The universe is still amazed, the angels are still amazed, and the people of faith still bow their heads and think about who that personality was whose gait resembled that of the Messenger of God ﷺ. Umm al-Mu'minin Hazrat Aisha Siddiqa (R.A.) says that when Hazrat Fatima (R.A.) walked, it seemed as if the Prophet of Islam ﷺ was walking, whose modesty was such that even Jews and Christians would lower their gaze. Marriage at a young age, becoming a mother at a young age, passing away from the world in youth, but a character that lives on until the end of the world, the Quran at night, tears in prostration, and this painful prayer on the tongue, O Allah, why did you make the nights short, my worship is not complete, blisters on the hands while grinding flour, the ultimate degree of poverty, raising Hassanain Kareemain (R.A.), serving her husband but never complaining, never complaining, never saying, Ali, why do you make me work so much, never saying, Ali, why do you make me starve, never saying, Ali, don't you know I am Khatun-e-Jannat, never saying, Ali, I desire this thing, never said, never said.

Hazrat Ali himself says that when Hazrat Fatima (R.A.) came to my house as a bride, I had nothing to eat because I was a poor man, and the Prophet of Allah ﷺ also knew this. There was a dry piece of bread that Fatima soaked in water and ate. For three days after the wedding, Fatima stayed in my house, but no special morsel went into her stomach. After three days, the Prophet of Islam came and Fatima started crying after seeing the Holy Prophet ﷺ and went to a corner of the house while crying. The Prophet of Allah said, Fatima, my daughter, what happened, did Ali say something? But sacrifice on the dust that touches her feet, Fatima did not complain about Ali and the Prophet of Islam kept asking. After a while, Hazrat Ali came, the last Prophet of Allah said, O Ali, what did you say to Fatima, why is Fatima crying? Then Hazrat Ali said, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I have not said anything to Fatima, but O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, it has been three days since Fatima came to Ali's house and still no food has gone into Fatima's stomach to fill her up. The Prophet of Allah said, Fatima, you should have told me, I would have sent food. Sacrifice on Hazrat Fatima and the training of Mustafa ﷺ, she said, O leader of the Prophets (peace be upon them), you yourself said, son, Ali is poor, do not complain about him, you yourself said, son, Ali has more rights on you, do not take a step without his permission, how could I dare to tell you about Ali's poverty, my Prophet said, Fatima, today you have fulfilled the right of your father. May God sacrifice on Hazrat Fatima (R.A.) from whose lap Islam was nurtured, from whose lap Karbala found peace, from whose lap the Ummah of Muhammad (peace be upon him) attained glory, from whose lap the standard-bearers of Islam were found, from whose lap the leaders of the youth of Paradise were found, from whose lap Hazrat Zainab was found who stood in front of Yazid and delivered that great sermon in history which uprooted the buildings of the infidels and told the world that when a mother, after receiving the training of Mustafa, fasting and filling the ideology of Islam in her eyes, breastfeeds her children, then those children shake the field of Karbala and tell the world:

Dasht to dasht hain darya bhi na chore hum ne

Bahr-e-zulmat mein daura diye ghore hum ne.

Now I would like to say to those sisters of mine who make their husbands the subject of conversation for the rest of their lives just for not getting breakfast. God forbid, you are also the maid of Fatima, you are also following the rules of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, after all, if there is some deficiency in breakfast, you make your husband the subject of conversation for the rest of your life. God forbid, understand the condition of your husband, it is possible that he did not give you breakfast properly, but can't you get a better breakfast by asking him at another time? You can definitely do it, if a person is able to manage, then there are no quarrels in the houses, but all the quarrels that are happening end, but it is necessary to manage, and (ھنّ لباس لّكم و انتم لباس لّهنّ) this is also a meaning.

God forbid, look at that greatness before which all the titles of the world are insignificant, she could have said, I am the daughter of the last Prophet ﷺ, I am the beloved daughter of the cause of the universe, my mother is Khadija al-Kubra (R.A.), I am the wife of Ali al-Murtaza (R.A.), I am the mother of the leaders of the youth of Paradise like Hassanain (R.A.), I am the leader of all the women of Paradise, I am Khair-un-Nisa, I am Afzal-un-Nisa, I am the princess of Jannat-ul-Firdous, but no, despite this glory, this greatness, this height, there was never pride, never arrogance, never rule, but humility, patience, service and gratitude, the crown of greatness was on the head but the head was always bowed, this is the Fatimi glory.

Today's woman is standing on the streets raising slogans, sometimes she says I don't cook, sometimes she says my body is my choice and on the other hand, Khatun-e-Jannat was the one who had the full right to order, but she made service her honor, patience her strength, modesty her identity, and silence her dignity. The question is not what are the rights, the real question is why have we left our original position? Why have we considered the veil a burden, training a trouble and shamelessness progress?

In that society where women were buried alive, Islam gave birth to a greatness like Fatima (R.A.) and today why are we ourselves falling from our position and getting caught in the intellectual trap laid by others? We are not even equal to the dust of the feet of Syeda Fatima (R.A.), then what pride do we have? Real freedom is not on the street, it is in prostration, real honor is not in slogans, it is in character, real success is not in displaying the body, it is in the light of faith, come, O holy princesses of Islam, adopt the Fatimi path, the path of modesty, patience, dignity, honor and service, so that then personalities like Hassanain Kareemain may grow in our bodies, then the Ummah may get sons like Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi, may Allah Almighty grant us the ability to think and understand, Ameen Ya Rabb al-Alameen Bijah al-Nabi al-Kareem ﷺ.
