Lady Fatimah Zahra (pbuh) was a woman, an Islamic woman at the highest level. That is, she was at the level of a leader. This same woman could have been a prophet in terms of her virtues, merits, and level in existence. Nonetheless, this same woman was a mother, a wife, and a housewife. You see, these things must be understood.

The more a person thinks about the pure Fatimah Zahra (pbuh), the more he/she will be amazed. One will be surprised not only because she could achieve this level of spiritual and physical perfection at such a young age. It is also amazing how Islam has been able to take its training to this level that a young woman in those difficult circumstances can reach such a high level with such a wondrous strength! Both the greatness of this great, lofty woman is amazing and also the greatness of the school of thought that created this great, noble being is surprising and amazing.

Lady Fatimah Zahra (pbuh) was the dignified daughter of the Prophet (pbuh). She was a girl whose hand the Prophet used to kiss and for whom the Prophet would stand up when she entered. Fatimah Zahra’s (pbuh) home was the last place the Prophet (pbuh) would visit before he would go on any trip, and he would leave for his trips from there. And whenever he returned from a trip, the first place he would visit and say hello was Fatimah Zahra's (pbuh) home. She was such a daughter.
