She has more common and famous names including: Ensiah (heavenly lady), Haniah (sympathetic), Shahidah (martyred), Afifah (chaste), Sabirah (patient), Alimah (learned), Madhloomah (oppressed), Ma’soomah (infallible), Umm al-Hassan (mother of Hassan (PBUH)), Umm al-Hussain (mother of Hussain (PBUH)), Umm al-A’immah (mother of Imams) and Umm Abiha: means mother of her father: (PBUH&HP) has given her this title and this shows that Fatimah (PBUH) treated (PBUH&HP) as his mother.
This fact was proved throughout the history as she cured her father during the wars and when she was at home and many other cases. Her father and mother As we said, her father was Muhammad ibn-Abdullah (PBUH&HP)-the Great Prophet of Islam, the last Prophet of Allah and the best creature throughout the world. Her mother was Khadijah bent Khuwaylid, one of the richest women of Quraish, who spent all her wealth on propagating Islam and did not even have a shroud when she passed away.
She was so famous for her chastity that people called her Tahirah (pure) before Islam. She was the first woman who converted to Islam. Her birth Fatimah (PBUH) was born on 20th of Jamadi al-Thani, five years after the appointment of the Prophet (PBUH&HP), in Mecca.
When she was born, she started talking with divine power and announced that: “There is no God except Allah, my father is the messenger of Allah and the master of the prophets, my husband is the master of successors and my two sons are the master of grandchildren”. Most of the Shia and some of the Sunni commentators such as Fakhr al-Razi express that the first verse of Kawthar Chapter (Surah) refers to Fatimah (PBUH).
He has known her as Kawthar (extreme blessing) and the reason for maintenance and spread of the Prophet’s progeny. The last verse of chapter 108 (al-Kawthar) proves this fact, as Allah (SWT) tells the Prophet (PBUH&HP): “Your enemy will be without progeny”. Moral virtues Fatimah (PBUH) had high moral virtues and her life is full of spiritual behavior. We explain two of them below noticing that these are only a very little part of her countless moral virtues: 1.
Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari, the Prophet’s (PBUH&HP) companion, says that a poor emigrant ( Muhajir ) came to the Prophet (PBUH&HP) and asked for help.
