Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Fatima (a.s): the Most Paramount Lady of Islam Fatima’s Honor: Fatima (peace be upon her) has endowed with honor and grand dignity; the honor no one could achieve it as Fatima (peace be upon her) did.

Expressing all her aspects of her character is not feasible; therefore, some points are stated: She is Allah’s beloved: She is the pure servant of Allah, and is always in worship and contact with Him in order to give her servanthood superiority over her other positions, so that no luxury, effort, or attachments could prevent her from fulfilling her conscious duty.

As that the Prophet (peace be upon him and his descendants) appreciated her and praised her position was due to the fact that she was pious and in contact with Allah, and not because she was the Prophet’s daughter. Fatima’s generosity, thought, and efforts are all for Allah’s pleasure.

Fatima (peace be upon her) is so dissolved in the Divine grandeur and majesty that she devotes all her things in His way: her position, her rank, her silver bracelet, her wedding dress, the screen of her house, etc. In this case, shouldn’t she be the dear of Allah?

She is the Prophet’s dear: The Prophet (peace be upon him and his descendants) knows her as a part of his body and soul, as he says, بضعة منه و روحة اللذي بين جنبيه In the age of Ignorance and the hard times of his Prophethood, she was as a mother to her father in Mecca. She cleansed the thorns and dust that the people had thrown over the head of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his descendants) with her little hands and soothed him.

Sometimes, she would cry for his loneliness and caressed for his beaten body. She was her father’s consular at the time of Hijra, she was so dear for him in Medina that Ayesheh stated, “There was no one dearer than Fatima (peace be upon her) to the Prophet (peace be upon him and his descendants); he attended her house every day and asked about her mood repeatedly.

Once, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his descendants) saw Ali and Fatima (peace be upon them), grinding wheat.
