Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Fatima Zahra’ in the Noble Qur’an Ziyarah for the Mistress of the Women of the Worlds, Lady Fatima Zahra’, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon her زِيَارَةٌ سَيِّدَةِ النِّسَآءِ الْعَالَمِينَ فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَآءِ (سَلاَمُ ٱللهِ عَلَيْهَا) Translated by Badr Shahin Edited by Arifa Hudda While standing in the area between the Noble Prophet’s tomb and mimbar (a place described as a Garden of Paradise – al-Rawdah), you may pay your respects to Lady Fatima Zahra’, although there is a disagreement about the place of her tomb.
Some say that she was buried in al-Rawdah; others say that she was buried in her own house; while others say that she was buried in the cemetery known as Jannatul Baqiʿ. However, the majority of our scholars agree that she should be visited within the area of al-Rawdah, although to visit her at all three of these places is more preferable.
When you stand for the ziyarah of Lady Fatima Zahra’, recite the following: بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful يَا مُـمْتَحَنَةُ O the carefully examined one: اِمْتَحَنَكِ اللهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَـخْلُقَكِ Allah had tried you before He created you (for this worldly life), فَوَجَدَكِ لـِمَا امْتَحَنَكِ صَابِرَةً، And thus He found you successfully enduring in that trial.[^1] وَزَعَمْنَا أَنَّا لَكِ أَوْلِيَآءٌ وَمُصَدِّقُونَ We declare that we are your followers and believers, وَصَابِرُونَ لِكُلِّ مَا أَتَانَا بِهِ أَبُوكِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ، and patient with all that has been conveyed to us by your father - peace of Allah be upon him and his household, وَأَتـىٰ بِهِ وَصِيَّهُ، And all that which his successor (Imam ’Ali b.
Abi Talib) brought. فَإِنَّا نَسْأَلُكِ إِنْ كُنَّا صَدَّقْنَاكِ Thus we ask you that if we have truly believed in you, إِلاَّ أَلْـحَقْتِنَا بِتَصْدِيقِنَا لَـهُمْ That you may include us with those who believe in them all (all of the Prophet’s successors), لِنُبَشِّرَ أَنْفُسَنَا بِأَنَّا قَدْ طَهُرْنَا بِوِلاَيَتِكِ. So that we may grant ourselves the glad tidings that we have been purified on account of our loyalty towards you.
It is recommended to also recite the following: أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ، Peace be upon you O daughter of the Messenger of Allah. أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ نَبِيِّ اللهِ، Peace be upon you O daughter of the Prophet of Allah.
