Fatimah tuz Zahrã (R.A.)

FATIMAHTUZ ZAHRAH (r.a) – DUAGHTER OF MUHAMMAD(صلى الله عليه وسلم)
Fatimah(R.A.) was youngest in age of all hersisters but highest in
grades. She was dearest to her father of all his daughters. He once
said, "Fatimahis like soul and heart to me." once, he said, "Fatimah
will be theleader of the women in Paradise." he further said, "What
troubles Fatimah troubles me as well."
It was the sixth year of Prophethood and Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam) had launched his preaching mission but his own clan were
impeding in his way. The people of the Quraysh were trying every trick
to trouble him. One day while he was performing Salãh in the Haram, on
the instigation of the pagans of Makkak, Aqabah ibn Moeet brought the
entrails of a camel and placed it on his neck whilst he was
prostrating. Someone told Fatimah (R.A.) who was then just six years
old. She came running and removed the stuff and cursed the
non-believers. She, at such an early age beheld the tribulations and
torments Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) was being subject to.
Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) awarded her the title of 'lady
of Paradise'.
It has been reported that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) once
said, "On the Day of Resurrection a voice will be heard saying ' lower
you heads, Fatimah bint Muhammad is being escorted along,' then
Fatimah will cross the pathway to Paradise in a flash leading seventy
thousand Hoors (heavenly women)."
Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) confided only to Fatimah
(R.A.) during his last days that he would die of his illness. She wept
to hear that but Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) whispered to
her that she would follow him which brought delight on her face and
she smiled.
Rasulullah's (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) beloved wives pressed her
much to disclose that secret, but she didn't. She revealed it, however
after his demise.
