Women

Shia and Sunni are unanimous in acknowledging Lady Fatima's virtues: Ayatollah Khamenei

Fatima Zahra (God's greetings be upon her) is "The overseer of all women in paradise." This is a very high and lofty position. The lesson of courage, self-sacrifice, and piety, in this world.

All Muslims are unanimous about the virtues of Hazrat Siddiqat al-Kubra (God's greetings be upon her) and there is no difference between Shia and Sunni in this regard. In the books of Sunni and Shia followers, there is a hadith which says, "Fatima is the overseer of all women in paradise." This status is higher than "The overseer of all women in the world." She is "The overseer of all women in paradise."

Who are the women in paradise? They are best, most prominent, most pious of jihadi women; they are women who are martyrs and who have been mentioned by the great words of Allah the Exalted in the Quran. All of these women gather together in paradise. And Fatima Zahra (God's greetings be upon her) is "The overseer of all women in paradise." This is a very high and lofty position. The lesson of courage, self-sacrifice, and piety, in this world, and the lesson of acquiring knowledge and transferring it to the minds of the people – she enjoyed the position of being a knowledgeable teacher for all of humanity – are things that Fatima Zahra (God's greetings be upon her) has taught humanity. I hope that all of you, all the dear people of Azerbaijan, all the people of Iran, and all Muslims benefit from the blessings of "The Lady of the Two Worlds."
