She tried to save the lives of the women from absurdity, not to be a means for the satisfaction of men’s passion, and not to jeperdise their grandeur and honor. She taught the women how to obstruct the way of exploitation and be free by regarding their Quranic and Islamic character. Fatima (peace be upon her) proved that woman should not be bargained as goods with a heavy marriage portion.
She also proved that marriage just for the satisfaction of the passion and ambition is a pernicious form of social life and the cause of collapse of woman’s value. She is a Sample for Women: Fatima (peace be upon her) is a sample for all the women at all times, especially those who are willing to preserve their honor and defend their purity and piety, since her age to Doomsday. She is a perfect sample for wOmmen in all aspects of man’s life.
She is the sample and symbol of freedom and is far from impurity and sin, slavery and captivity. She aimed to teach the people how to elevate their souls instead of indecency and insipid adornment and; therefore, managed to attract the hearts through this way. She taught the women that they could do manly jobs in case of necessity, but have to keep their eyes pure from the strangers and preserve their purity and nobility.
She also taught them how to rise against the oppression, usurpation, and injustice. To teach them the aforementioned lessons practically, Fatima (peace be upon her) tried so much that the flames of her life light were extinguished. But she never stopped fulfilling her mission until the end of her life.
She is at the Service of the People of Society: She was always thinking about the people and their needs before thinking about herself, and she knew it as a responsibility for herself, and in this way, she thought of both material and spiritual aspects. She had devoted her life to them, thinking day and night how to ameliorate the quality of this service. She dedicated her wedding dress to the poor at her wedding night and went to Ali’s house with her old dress.
Like her husband and children, she dedicated her food which they had to break their fast to the orphan, poor, and captive for three successive nights as the Prophet (peace be upon him and his descendants) said in this regard, “واغوثاه اهل بيت محمد يموتون من الجوع”. Although she knew that there existed no food storage in the house, she spent the Fadak income for the poor. She sent her house curtain to her father in order to provide a shirt for the poor.
