Hazrat Fatima r.a Ke 100 Qisay

Hazrat Fatima (R.A) Kay 100 Qissay By Sheikh Maulana Muhammad Owais Sarwar.

The Prophet of Islam had only one daughter named Fatima. Her mother Khadija had two other daughters from her two earlier marriages. When The Prophet married her, both daughters came with her mother to live in the house of the Prophet.

Hazrat Fatima (R.A) was born five years before Bethat when Muhammad (S) was about 35 years old and her mother Khadija was about 50 years old. She has many other titles. Zahra (Lady of Light) and Sayyidatun Nisa al Alamin (Leader of the women of the worlds). The Date of her birth was 20th Jamad al Akhar.

After the death of her mother Khadija, she looked after her father the Prophet of Islam so devoutly that Muhammad (S) used to call her “Umme Abiha”, i.e. the mother her father. This was the hardest time for the family because in the same year Abu Talib who was the protector of Muhammad (S) from the animosity of the Quraish also died in the same year as Khadija.

Hazrat Fatima (R.A) is the daughter of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Bibi Fatima (R.A) was born just about five years before her Father (PBUH) was granted the first revelation from Allah SWT. Bibi Fatima (R.A) has four titles, which are ‘Zahraa”, “Batool”, “Umm al-Hasan wal-Husayn” and the last is the nicest title “Ummu Abeeha”. From the extent of her love and affection for the Prophet (SAW), and the fact that she was always with him and trying to defend him, just as a mother has these feeling towards her child, so she became known as “Umm Abeeha” by the Sahaba and scholars. Right from her early age, she acquired the best possible qualities from her parents. She was titled as Al-Zahra, which means “the fabulous one”, greatly because of her remarkable resemblance to the Prophet (SAW) of Allah in her overall personality. The Prophet (SAW) said that “Fatima is the sayyidat of the women of Paradise”.

Our beloved Prophet (SAW) loved her so much because Bibi Fatima Zahra (R.A) was so kind and loved her Father too much. Also if the Prophet (SAW) would be seated and Bibi Fatima (R.A) would enter he would get up and kiss her between her eyes, all the time.

Childhood

Bibi Fatima (R.A) was also known as Zahra (the Radiant). The childhood of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (R.A) was the most difficult years of the history of Islam because these were early days of preaching Islam in Mecca. For, the small community of Muslims in Mecca was under increasing pressure imposed by disbelievers. Bibi Fatima (R.A) was raised in the prophetic school of her father Muhammad (SAW) and the loving lap of her mother Khadijah (R.A). Since childhood, Fatima witnessed the sufferings of her father and was always at his side to help him.

Bibi Fatima Zahra (R.A) went through highly tensed times when all the tribes boycotted her Father and those who had accepted Islam, when the blockade of Shi`b Abi Talib, a small valley which the uncle of Muhammad (PBUH) made for shielding Muslims from Makkan oppressions. For almost 3 years, the supporters of Islam had to face that blockade. Soon after it was over, Fatima Zahra (R.A) had to bear the tragic loss of Her Mother, Khadijah (R.A), and the dignified defender of His Father, Abu Taalib.

All such tragic happenings in her early life greatly affected her health, which is why Bibi Fatima (R.A) remained sick in most of her life, but she always acted as an embodiment of patience and determination throughout the process and supported her Father (PBUH).

Prophet Muhammad (SAW) love for His Daughter:
Among all children, Hazrat Fatima (R.A) was the youngest daughter of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). The holy prophet of Islam regarded his daughter as an angel in a human body; she was an inseparable part of him. He was overwhelmed with joy whenever he set eyes on her. Whenever he wanted to go on a trip, the last place he would leave would be his daughter’s home and the first place to which he would return would be his daughter’s home.
