Birth of Lady Fatima al-Zahra (as)

The Leader of the Women of Paradise

Lady Fatima al-Zahra (s.a.) was born on the 20th of Jumada al-Thani. She is the 'Sayyidat Nisa al-Alamin' (Leader of the Women of the Worlds). The Prophet (PBUH) used to stand up out of respect whenever she entered the room, calling her 'Umme Abiha' (the mother of her father) for her immense care towards him.

Her Lifestyle and Status

Fatima (s.a.) embodied perfect piety, patience, and devotion. Her home with Imam Ali (a.s.) was the center of divine light, where she raised the leaders of the youth of Paradise, Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain (a.s.), and the heroine of Karbala, Lady Zainab (s.a.). The famous 'Tasbih of Fatima' is a gift given to her by the Prophet (PBUH). (Source: Bihar al-Anwar)
