Whine of Lady Fatimah (PBUH)

Whine of Lady Fatimah (PBUH)

 

 The late Sheikh Saduq narrates from Ibn Abbas that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

 “Whenever I look at Fatimah, and remember the incidents and tragedies which will occur to her after me, it seems as if I see the distress enters her house and she will be disrespected and her rights will be usurped and she will be prevented from achieving her honor and her side will be hit and her child will get aborted, she cries out: “Oh Muhammed!”

  She asks for help but no one helps her, she will be always sad and depressed and tearful after my death, sometimes she will remember that revelation is disconnected from her house, and she will remember at a time when I`m gone, and she gets fearful at mid night due to not hearing me reciting the Quran during the Night Prayer as she always used to hear, then she finds herself heartsick and worrisome while she used to be precious during her father`s time, at this time God will assign angels as her companions, angles will talk to her as they used to talk to Lady Mary (PBUH) and the angles tell her:

 “Oh Fatimah, Allah has chosen you and purified you, and He has chosen you above the world’s women, Oh Fatimah! Be obedient to your Lord, and prostrate and bow down with those who bow down [in prayer].”

 Afterwards, it seems that I see her becoming sick and weak, in need of a nurse, then God sends Lady Mary (PBUH), the daughter of Imran (PBUH) in order to look after her, then she prays to God this way

 “Oh God! I am fed up with life and the worldly people make me depressed, reunite me with my father.”(1)

 God will reunite her with me, she is the first member from my Ahl-al-Bayt to join me while she is sad, distressed and dispirited and her rights are confiscated, and she has been killed, then I say to God: “Oh God, take away your mercy from those who oppressed her, punish those who confiscated her rights, disgrace those who distressed her, keep those who hit her side and killed her child in the fire of hell forever.”

  At this moment the angles say: Amen: “Oh God, answer (this prayer)”” (2)

 Investigating that period of history reveals that those who confronted Lady Fatimah (PBUH) were not merely the worldliness of some Muslims who wanted Prophethood for Bani Hashim and considered caliphate their own right, but according to the verses of the Quran and narratives, two strong courses confronted Lady Fatimah (PBUH).

 According to the verse 82 of the Surah Al-Maeda “Surely You will find the most hostile of all people towards the faithful to be the Jews and the polytheists”.

 By the infiltration and instigation of those hypocrites who apparently converted to Islam in Muslims‘ triumphs, they developed a course of actions with the intention of governing the world. In the verse 54 of the Surah Al-Maeda, God says:

 “O you who have faith! Should any of you desert his religion, Allah will soon bring a people whom He loves and who love Him”

 Allameh Tabataba’i says:

 “This verse conveys the apostasy of the Jews and then Divine promise was taken away from them.” (3)

 But the Jews did not believe this, as it is revealed from the verse 64 of the SurahAl-Maeda:

 “The Jews say, ‘Allah’s hand is tied up.’ Tied up be their hands, and cursed be they for what they say! Rather, His hands are wide open: He bestows as He wishes.”

 As the verse 67 of the Surah Al-Maeda says, what was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) which caused their rebellion was the guardianship of Imam Ali (PBUH). This means sovereignty of Islam and an all-out and powerful battle against Imam Ali (PBUH) and his supporters.

 Since Prophet Muhammad`s (PBUH) instruction to Imam Ali (PBUH) is silence and patience, therefore; the most political lady of history is assigned to continue the mission.

 With an incredible sagacity, she initially brought up the issue of “Fadak”; because if she could prove that she was rightful in this case, then, as a result, the sparks of governing regime’s illegitimacy could be ignited.

 By virtue of the verse 26 of the Surah Al-Isra “Give the relatives their [due] right”, she created a movement insofar as she could prevail over the governing regime.

 Now, it was the time for the next phase of the mission. Prophet Muhammad`s daughter took an important step to suppress the sedition.

 Lady Fatimah (PBUH) becomes bedridden at home because of her wounds. (4)

 Women of Muhajirun (The Emigrants) and Ansar (The Helpers) came to visit her and asked: “Oh daughter of Prophet Muhammad, how you survive day and night with such sickness?” (5)

 Pay attention to the intelligent, illustrative and futuristic reply of Lady Fatimah (PBUH):

 After praising God and saluting her father, she said:

 “I swear to God that I spend day and night while I am dissatisfied with your world and hateful of your men, after  realizing their bad intentions and improper actions I left  them all and … .

 Stay vigilant and listen carefully! Soon; life will reveal its wonders to you; may they become disgraced “those who suppose they are doing good” (6) and “Look! They are themselves the agents of corruption, but they are not aware” (7).

  I swear to my life, that your behaviors have consequences which you will know at its appropriate time, be prepared for incidents and sedition and crisis! And make yourselves ready for the decisive sword and the tyranny of oppressors.”

 Women trembled out of fear and made their men aware.

 After her strong speech, men of the Emigrants and the Helpers hastened towards her house, Lady Fatimah (PBUH) said: “Get away from me, nothing will reduce your guilt and delinquency.””

 It can be understood from this event that tears and whining of Lady Fatimah (PBUH) did guide the people of Medina towards vigilance.

 The leaders of the sedition heard in mosque from Imam Ali (PBUH) that “If I had 40 comrades, I would have retrieved my rights” and they felt fearful that frequent visits of the people to the house of Lady Fatimah (PBUH) will make them aware, therefore; they commenced to plan another scheme.

 They delivered the message to Imam Ali (PBUH) that “Tell Fatimah to cry out either during the day or at night!”

 Since no one like the leaders of the sedition was aware of the bright influence of these tears.

 “And the wrongdoers will soon know at what goal they will end up.” (8)

The story of Jesus (PBUH) in the Quran

The story of Jesus (PBUH) in the Quran

Although Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the last prophet and the accomplisher of the divine religion, holding a higher status among the holy prophets, Islam holds all the holy prophets respectable and Venerable; as they were chosen by God; therefore, Muslims should cherish and respect all the messengers of God the Almighty.

The holy book of Muslims, the Holy Quran, tells the story of a number of the holy prophets, for example, the story of Jesus (PBUH) which we shall have a brief review of below:

How he was born

After presenting the events related to the birth of Mary (PBUH) and her serving in the temple, God the Almighty tells the story of how she became a Mother and says:

“And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.” (Surah Maryam (Mary):16)

She tried to find an isolated, quiet place to pray, so that nothing distracted her from her beloved (God), so she chose the eastern side of Jerusalem.

“And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned man.” (Mary: 17)

That was hard time for Mary. She had led a chaste life and grown up in a virtuous family and was known as a symbol of Chastity and piety; she was scared and worried when the beautiful stranger (Angel Gabriel) appeared in her sanctum.

“She said, “Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah.” (Mary: 18)

Mary said that, with fear and worry, to find the reaction of the unknown man. After a moment, she heard his answer:

He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy. (Mary: 19)

Mary (PBUH) trembled by hearing these sentences and felt deeply worried:

She said, “How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste? (Mary: 20)

The messenger of God answered very clearly:

This is what your Lord wants, and doing it is facile for me.

These verses tacitly point to the facts and state: Oh Mary! You know about my power, as you saw the fruits of Paradise beside your Worship altar in a season in which no one could have access to them, you heard the Angels who testified to your purity, you know that your Forefather, Adam, was Created from clay, so you should not be surprised about this will of God either.

He said, “Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, ‘It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed. (Mary: 21)

So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place. (Mary: 22)

And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, “Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten. (Mary: 23)

But he called her from below her, “Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream. (Mary: 24)

And look above your head, and see how a dried up Stem turns into a fertile palm tree, with branches adorned by its fruit.

“And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.” (Mary: 25)

“So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, ‘Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.” (Mary: 26)

“Then she brought him to her people, carrying him.” (Mary: 27)

When they saw her with the newborn, they were completely surprised. Those who had known her as a symbol of piety and dignity became worried about her and began to suspect and mistrust her. Some of them hastily made judgments and reproved her and said:

“O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste.” (Mary: 28)

They called her “Sister of Aaron” because Aaron was a pure and righteous man and all of the Israelites knew him. When people wanted to talk about a person who was immaculate, they said:” he/she is brother/sister of Aaron”. At this moment Mary kept silent at God’s command and pointed to her son.

So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?” (Mary: 29)

Shortly, the newborn started to talk:

[Jesus] said, “Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet (Mary: 30)

“And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah (almsgiving) as long as I remain alive.” (Mary: 31)

“And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.” (Mary: 32)

And finally, Jesus (PBUH) said:

“And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive.” (Mary: 33)

The miracles of Jesus (PBUH)

“And We gave Jesus, the Son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Holy Spirit.” (Surah BAQARA (THE COW):253)

Based on history, “clear proofs” refers to miracles like: Healing incurable sicknesses, Revival of the Dead and supreme religious knowledge.

In this verse reference is made to one of Jesus’s (PBUH) miracles:

“He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous.” (Surah AL-E-IMRAN (THE FAMILY OF ‘IMRAN): 46)

 “And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], ‘Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah . And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead – by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.” (THE FAMILY OF ‘IMRAN: 49)

In the 110th verse of the Al-Ma’idah Surah, God reminds us of all the miracles of Jesus (PBUH) which have been named in THE FAMILY OF ‘IMRAN: 49, saying that all of these miracles were done by the permission of God, and his revival of the dead and curing of the blind and the leper had been done by his permission.

Who are the Apostles?

The Apostles of Jesus (PBUH) have been mentioned 5 times in the Holy Quran, 2 of which are in the As-Saf Surah. This name refers to twelve of the special companions of Jesus (PBUH), whose names are available in the Current Gospels (Matthew and Luke – Chapter 6); this name comes from “Hur” in Arabic, which means washing and bleaching, and since they had pure hearts and graceful souls and tried to clean the hearts and minds of themselves and others, they’ve been called so (in Arabic).

Some Riwayahs tell us that Jesus (PBUH) sent each one of them to a different part of the world as his envoy, they were sincere, dedicated and militant persons and loved Jesus (PBUH) from the bottom of their hearts.
