Contents Her Last day Her Last Will Her Martyrdom The princess of the House of the Prophet was very intelligent, accomplished and cheerful. Her sermons, poems and sayings serve, as an index to her strength of character and nobility of mind. Her virtues gained her the title “Our Lady of light”. She was tall, slender and endowed with great beauty, which caused her to be called “Al-Zahra” (the Lady of Light). She was called al-Zahra” because her light used to shine among those in Heaven.

After arriving in Medina, she got married to Ali in the first year of Hijrah, and she gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Her children, Hasan, Husain, Zainab and Umm Kulthum are well-known for their piety, goodness and generosity. Their strength of character and actions changed the course of history. The Holy Prophet said, “Fatima is a piece of my heart” .

Every morning on his way to the Mosque, he would pass by Fatima’s house and say: “peace be on you O the Household of Prophethood and the source of Messengership” . Fatima is famous and acknowledged as the “Leader of all the women of the world” because the Prophethood of Muhammad would not have been everlasting without her. The Prophet is the perfect example for men, but could not be so for women.

For all the verses revealed in the Holy Qur’an for women, Fatima is the perfect model, who translated every year into action. In her lifetime, she was a complete woman, being a daughter, wife and mother at the same time. Fatima was very generous, and none who come to her door went away empty-handed. She never asked Ali for anything in her whole life.

As a mother, she cared for and brought up wonderful children; who have lifted their marks on the face of the world, which time will not be able to erase. The death of the Apostle affected her very much and she was very sad and grief-stricken and wept her heart out crying all the time. Lady Fatima was martyred in the prime of her life at the age of eighteen.
