Brethren in Iman & Islam!
Human being is better and higher in status than all other
creatures
لقد كرمنا
بني آدم
Human beings include all women,
men, strong, vulnerable, old and young on which Quran
stands witness:
والعصر0 إن الإنسان لفي خسر0
إلا الذين أمنوا و عملوا الصالحات و تواصوا بالحق و تواصوا
بالصبر0
By the Asr, human being
is at a loss but those who are faithful and who perform
good deeds and preach for righteousness, patience and
forbearance within each other
Strength, power, beauty and
richness are not declared as standard of superiority and
gentlemanliness but piety, good deeds and faith are
declared as the criterion of charisma and honour on the
basis of which Prophets, Messengers, Aulia and Righteous
Persons have been considered superior but only four women
from amongst the womenfolk the world over have this
charisma and honour to their credit and they are Aasiya
binte Mazahim (A.S.), Maryam binte Imran (A.S.), Khadija
binte Khaweled (A.S.), and Fatima binte Muhammad (A.S.).
Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.) is the superior most amongst
the all human beings of the universe after Nabi (Prophet
(SAW)) and Ali (A.S.).
Every human being recognises the reality and status of the
other human being from his personal guess – his perception
and comprehension cannot work more than this. But one
could not do anything except his inability to reach the
status of those who are placed at the highest pedestal of
status and charisma. Therefore, on this basis it could be
said that no one could understand the status of Hazrat
Fatima Zahra (S.A.) other than the Holy Prophet (SAW),
Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar.
What we know about the status of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.)
is because of Quran and Hadees in which it has been stated
that she was symbol of Ismat and Taharat (chastity and
purity)on which the Ayah-e-Tat-heer
إنما يريد الله ليذهب عنكم
الرجس أهل البيت و يطهركم تطهيرا
stands witness. Love with Fatima
(S.A.) and her Khanwada is obligatory
قل لا أسئلكم عليه أجراً إلا
المودة في القربى
she was that great a scholar
that her Kaneez-e-Khas was declared Mutakilma-bil-Quran
(one who speaks through Quran). Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.)
enjoyed that greatest a status that Rematul-lil-Alimeen
(Mercy for the Worlds (SAW)) used to stand up in her
respect; she had full faith in the oneness of God,
Apostleship of the Messenger (SAW) and Imamat and Wilayat
of her husband. She was inclined towards none but love and
worship of Allah and she was desirous of Meeting to Allah
to the extent that could be judged from a saying of Ummul
Momineen Hazrat Aisha that goes that Rasool-e-Khuda (SAW)
sent for his daughter Fatima Zahra (S.A.) on the death bed
and said something in a very low voice on which she
started weeping, then he said another thing in a very low
voice on which she started smiling. When Ummul Momineen
asked Fatima (S.A.) the reason of weeping and then
smiling, she said I wept because my father gave me the
news of his death and smiled when he said that the first
one from amongst my Ahle Bait (A.S.) to meet me would be
you.
Her love for her father, husband and progeny was only for
the sake of Allah. Hazrat Zahra (S.A.) wiped out her own
self and desires through her character, deeds, and
sayings; She neither played games nor created hue and cry,
neither tortured Rasool-e-Khuda (SAW) nor put her husband
at odds. She always gave priority to subservience to Allah
that is why the Holy Prophet (SAW) had said:
لو لا علي لم يكن لفاطمة كفو
على صفحة الأرض
Had Ali not been there, there would have been no
match to Fatima on earth
She was Wali-e-Khuda, and proof
of her love and friendship with Allah is her desire to die
for the supremacy of His religion because death is the
only source of removing veils to meet Allah and on which
Quran stands witness:
قل يايها الذين هادوآ إن
زعمتم أنكم أولياء لله من دون الناس فتمنوا الموت إن كنتم
صادقين (الجمعة)
“O, Rasool! Tell them
that the people who are Jews, if you have put up a claim
that only you are friends of Allah other than people, if
you are true then desire for death”
But, this whole Khanwada loved
death for meeting to Allah like a child loves mothers
milk. There is a saying of Hazrat Zahra (S.A.)s son Hazat
Imam Hussain (A.S.) that goes:
خط الموت على بني آدم كخط
القلادة على جيد الفتاة وما اولهني إلى أسلافي اشتياق
يعقوب إلى يوسف (نفس المهوم)
“Death is such a
guluband (neck ornament) for sons of Adam like an
ornament in the neck of a pretty woman. I, Hussain have
desire for death like Yaqoob was desirous of meeting his
son Yousuf
In every phase of human life,
Hazrat Fatima is seen superior whether she is a daughter,
wife or mother; she lost her own desire in the desires of
her husband.
A wife should learn the way of obedience to husband from
the beloved daughter of the Chief of the Two Worlds (SAW),
a daughter should recognize course of love from Mother of
Hasnain (A.S.). Every human being, either he be from
stratum of men or women, has all this respect, honor and
dignity, and it is Din-e-Mobin which grants this respect
and honor, and gives right of achieving ones rights and
benefiting from freedom, independence and individual and
collective rights to all rather advises a human being to
remain linked with a personality to attain the final stage
of excellence and acme Sidratul Muntaha -. That
personality is mother in the form of a woman
الجنة تحت أقدام الأمهات
The colonial powers used woman
as a shield, destructed her in the name of freedom,
promoted obscenity in the name of promoting culture but
Islam and Quran gave zenith to womans dignity and honour
in the form of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.). her seerat and
character is the fountainhead of guidance, piousness and
beacon of light for the whole womenfolk the world over.
We, while presenting condolence and consolement to the
Chief of the holy family of Ahlul Bait, Holy Prophet (SAW)
on the occasion of Ayyam-i-Aza-i-Fatimiyah, reiterate our
resolve to continue our practical struggle for the welfare
of humanity, solidarity of the motherland, and success and
supremacy of the oppressed world following in the
footsteps of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.).
