He would go out to receive his doughtier whenever she comes from her husband’s house. Every morning on his way to the Mosque, he would pass by Fatimah’s house and say: “as-Salamu` Alaykum ya Ahlul-Bayti`n-nubuwwah wa ma Dani’s – risala” (peace be on you O the Household of Prophethood and the source of Messengership) Fatimah is famous and acknowledged as the “Sayyidatu ‘n-Nisa’i ‘ l-Alamin” (Leader of all the women of the world for all times) 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, Fatimah 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 some time. Muhammad during his lifetime gave Fatimah a gift of very extensive farmlands, famous as Fadak, which were documented in her name, as her absolute personal property.

An heiress to the remainder of her mother`s wealth, a princess who was the only daughter of the holy prophet who was also a ruler, a lady whose husband was the conqueror of Arab tribes and second only to her father in and position, Fatimah could have led a luxurious life. But in spite of her wealth and possessions, she worked, dressed, ate and lived very simply. She was very generous; and none who come to her door, when away empty-handed.

Many times, she gave away her all and she went without food. As a daughter, she loved her parents so much, that she won their love and regard to such an extent that the Holy prophet used to rise, whenever she come near him As a wife, she was very devoted. She never asked ` Ali for anything in her whole life. As a mother, she cared for and brought up wonderful children; they 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. Unfortunately, after the death of the prophet, the government confiscated her famous land of Fadak and gave it to the state. Fatimah was pushed behind her door (when they attacked the house of ` Ali and took him to force him to accept the caliphate of Abu Baker), so that the child, she was carrying was hurt and the baby boy Muhsin was stillborn.

Her house was set on fire by the Government.
