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.
