Sayyida Fatima Zahra: Mistress of Womankind

"O family of the House, Allah only wishes to distance fault from you and cleanse you." (Quran 33:33) “Yes, I swear it by the Moon, and by the night when it retires, and by the dawn when it rises, this Sign is one of the greater Signs, one of those which warn human beings” (Quran 74:32-36). Abdullah bin Abbas and others reports that when the following verse of the Holy Quran was revealed: "Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives; and whoever earns good, We give him more of good therein." (Quran 42:23) a group of companions asked "O Messenger of Allah, who are those of your relatives whose love has been made obligatory on us by Allah?" The Prophet replied, "They are Ali, Fatima, Hassan, and Husayn." Some hadith contain the words "and their sons," meaning Hassan and Husayn. The Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said to Sayyida Fatima: "O Fatima, I give you the good tidings that Allah made you superior to all the women of the world, and made you the purest of all the women of Islam" (Bukhari and Ahmad); "You are (Fatima) the mistress of the women of all the worlds!" (Shifa); “Fatima is a part of me, and whoever angers her, angers me.” (Bukhari & Muslim) "'I am leaving you with something. Take hold of it and you will not go astray: the Book of Allah, my family and the people of my House. Take care to follow my instruction regarding them.'" (Shifa) Referring to his two grandsons, Al-Hassan and Al-Hussayn, the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said, "Whosoever loves these two, their father and their mother will be with me on the Day of Resurrection." (Shifa)
