November 4th, 2025Jamaada Al Ula 13th, 1447Shahadat of Bibi Fatima (SA)* Bibi Fāṭimah is not only the daughter of the Prophet but an essential part of his mission, and Sunni narrations affirm her elevated status and closeness to the Prophet.* Multiple Sunni scholars confirm that Fāṭimah being “part of the Prophet” means that hurting or angering her is equivalent to hurting or angering the Prophet himself.* Hadith from Abu Lubābah’s story highlights the Prophet saying, “Fāṭimah is my flesh,” showing her sacred status and the seriousness of offending her.* Sunni sources narrate that Fāṭimah is the Chief of the Women of Paradise, alongside Maryam, Khadījah, and Āsiyā, and that al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn are the leaders of the youth in Paradise.* ‘Ā’isha narrates that Fāṭimah is the most truthful person after the Prophet and that her speech was unmatched in sincerity and honesty.* The Prophet emphasized that Allah is pleased when Fāṭimah is pleased and angered when she is angered, indicating her spiritual purity and infallibility (ma‘ṣūmiyyah).* The Prophet showed immense respect to Fāṭimah—standing up for her, kissing her, seating her beside him, and making her the last person he met before traveling and the first upon returning.* Narrations describe Fāṭimah as a heavenly being, created from the fruit of Paradise, and a source of the Prophet’s spiritual comfort and fragrance of Jannah.* Saḥīḥ Muslim records that Fāṭimah remained displeased with Abu Bakr for refusing her inheritance, and she did not speak to him until her death.* Her final days included suffering, martyrdom in grief, a secret burial at night, and a will excluding certain figures from attending her funeral, showing her ongoing pain and protest against injustice.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)
