Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Life of Fatima Az-zahra' The Noble Lineage There is no lineage in the earth higher than the lineage of Fatima, the principal of the women of the worlds. Her father The father of Fatima (a.s) is the master of the creation and the chief of mankind who had opened the horizons of intellect and light, and established the civilization that had saved man from the abysses of sins and superstitions that he had sunk in.

Her father was a treasure from the treasures of Allah and a gift from Him for His people to teach them the Book and wisdom, though they were, before him, ignorant and in manifest error.

It was her father who had changed the history of man, where the weak were easy bites for the strong, girls were buried alive, and idols were worshipped instead of the One and Only Creator, into a shiny life where all people were equal, where there was no preference for man to woman, and where reason ruled over man instead of superstitions. It was her father who had freed man from ignorance, bad habits, and poverty.

It was enough for Fatima (a.s) that she was the daughter of the messenger of Allah, His beloved, and His last prophet, and it was enough for Fatima that she was the most beloved, and the closest to her father from among all his children and from among all people. Her mother The mother of Fatima (a.s) was Khadijah bint Khuwaylid who was called as “the mistress of the women of Quraysh” in the pre-Islamic era, and “the Mother of the Believers” in Islam. She was from a noble, honored, glorious house.

She met with the Prophet (a.s.) in Qusay who was the fourth grandfather of the Prophet (a.s.) and the third grandfather of her, and this lineage ended to Prophet Abraham (a.s.). No woman from Quraysh was like her in her high position and lofty rank. She was the first spark in the great Islamic Revolution that spread light everywhere and destroyed the forts of atheism and polytheism.

Here, we talk in brief about some concerns of this great lady who was the mother of the best woman Allah had ever created in the earth; Fatima (a.s) the mother of the Prophet’s two grandsons al-Hasan al-Husayn whom the Prophet’s progeny stemmed only from. The wealth of Khadijah Lady Khadijah was so wealthy that no one of the merchants of Quraysh had wealth like hers. Historians say that the merchants of Mecca traded with the capitals of Lady Khadijah.
