It is as if they fear to announce their wish
to disgrace the great Messenger of Allah directly; so they choose the
crooked method of slandering his daughter in order to fulfill their evil
Despite, I could not decipher the real motives behind these furious and
harsh attacks against Fatima Zahra! Or, what the reasons are for this
bizarre and deep enmity against this great lady?! Is she not the Messenger of Allah's daughter, and "his spirit who he
Was she the Prophet's successor, to say that their (political) motives
forced them to try to tarnish her reputation as they did with her great
What is the reason for this ignominy to put her down? Is it because she
is the Prophet's daughter? If so, then why don't we find such a
phenomenon regarding the Prophet's other daughters?! Or, could it be
that she is Imam ‘Ali's (as) wife? But, he married four wives after her,
and we do not find such agitation and prejudice against them!! I can imagine no sin to Fatima Zahra (sa), save being the most beloved
person to the Prophet of Allah (S), who preferred her over his other
daughters, and wives, and that she defended and protected her husband's
rights when she appeared in the mosque to demand her usurped rights
(Fadak), and property granted to her by Allah, and the Last Prophet. But do these reasons justify the unfounded attacks, and attempts carried
out by so called Muslims to tarnish her status? Moreover, the Jewish and Christian Orientalists played an important role
in this deal; they attempted to tarnish the sacred Islamic beliefs and
holdings by spreading vain and baseless sayings among the Muslims. Some
so-called Muslims translated their iniquitous writings, and published
and distributed them throughout the Islamic world without consulting the
authentic sources, or, revising them, as if their intentions were the
same as those of the orientalists. It is best to bring a summarized example in this regard, which Sheikh
Amini mentioned in his book, Al-Ghadir, volume 3, page 10:
A Christian Oriental named Amil Darmangam wrote a book entitled “The
Life of Muhammad”, in which he slandered Islam, the Holy Qur’an, and the
Holy Prophet (S), and fabricated misleading and deceitful stories about
them. This book was then translated by a Palestinian by the name of
Muhammad Adil Zu'aitir, who did not comment on the fables, and myths
included in it. Zu'aitir claimed that he did so in observance to the
rules of translation! I wish I knew!
