She witnessed the descending and ascending of the angels.

She witnessed the descending and ascending of the angels. Her physical growth was accomplished with her mental and spiritual growth and hence she became an infallible lady who enjoyed the sublime virtues of her father, the holy Prophet of Islam. After the demise of her mother Lady Khadija died 10 years after the Prophet of Islam declared his mission and left her five-year-old daughter an orphan.

The richest lady of Quraysh at the time of her death could not even afford a simple shroud for her burial and hence she requested her daughter to ask her father to shroud her with his own cloak after her death. Fatima was since the only memory of Khadija for the Prophet of Islam. After the painful death of her mother the young Fatima dedicated herself to her father, the Messenger of God. During the hardship of Makka, she was not only a supportive daughter but a comrade.

After her marriage to Imam Ali in Medina, initially, her house was quite a distance from the mosque which would make travelling to the Prophet quite difficult. Thus, the Prophet arranged that the young couple lives in the house of Haritha bin Nu’man whose house was near the house of the Prophet. (3) The Female Comrade of the Prophet Fatima was not the type of girl who sat at home weaving or sewing with no social responsibility.

Her exalted spirit had made her from the very early stages of her life, endeavour for the spread of Islam with her father. Once, the Prophet of Islam was inviting people to Islam inside the Masjidul Haraam. Abu Jahl made some of his puppets pour rubbish onto the Prophet. Fatima; the female comrade of the Prophet immediately ran towards her father and with her small hands cleaned the head and the shoulders of the Prophet of Islam.

Many a time the infidels of Quraysh stoned the Messenger of God and the young Fatima was sometimes shielding her father with her own body. Her care and compassion towards the Messenger of God were so motherly and passionate. Every time the Messenger of God came home Fatima was dusting the hair and face of the Prophet. It was due to all this compassionate conduct of Fatima that the Messenger of God had a such tremendous love for her.

The role of Fatima in her support and the spread of Islam was so vital that according to Imam Ali (A.S) she was considered the second pillar of Islam.
