Fatima is one of the 4 greatest women of the universe and she will be the leader of the women in Paradise.
She was such a strong character even from an early age.
When she was 5 years old, our Prophet (PBUH) had become the Messenger of Allah. Her mother, Lady Khadijah, explained to her what her father must do now that he had become the Messenger of Allah. From this moment on, she became extremely close to her father. Once he was prostrating during the prayer and one of the Quraysh threw the entrails of an animal on him. She was so angry, she cleaned it off her father and started shouting at those who threw it. Another time, her father was being beaten by the Quraysh, so she screamed and shouted for help. Abu Bakr came along and managed to free the Prophet, whilst getting beaten in the meantime.
When her mother died, Fatima was grief stricken and remained so for a very long time. People thought she would die from grief. Fatima, however, realized that she had an even bigger responsibility to her father now her mother had passed. She devoted herself to him, loving him, caring for him and looking after him.
Sometimes it was all too much for her because she was seeing her father suffer with the people of Quraysh. He would tell her not to worry because Allah would look after them.
Fatima had wonderful manners and she could speak eloquently. She often moved people to tears with her speeches because she would say them with so much sincerity. She was very kind to the poor and would often give them food even though she, herself, would go hungry. She inherited her looks and her mannerisms from her father.
She was a tower figure in her community. She would look after the poor, she would go with the other women to the battlefield and cry over the martyrs as well as dress the wounds of her father. She helped prepare food with the other women when they experienced the difficult siege. She would also lead the women in prayer.
When the Prophet (PBUH) knew he was going to pass, Fatima was extremely sad. He told her he was going to meet his Lord and she wept. He then told her she would be the first in his household to join him, this made her smile. Five months after her father passed, she passed too.
We can learn so much from Fatima. She had a strong character and she was devoted to her parents, especially the Prophet (PBUH).
From an early age she would walk with him everywhere and because of this she witnessed many bad things that happened to him. Instead of playing like children her age, she was defending her father.
She devoted her life to looking after him and loving him and caring for him. Even after she was married, he was always in her thoughts. She really teaches us how we should take care of our parents and how we should care for them and love them and be devoted to them even after we are married. The bond between parents and children should always remain strong. She loved her father so much and in return he did her.
She had exceptional manners and behaviour that we should all learn from. She gave to the poor even when, she, herself didn't have much. She saw that there were people always worse off than she was.
She had such a big heart and was very sensitive. She was not cold at all and she loved her sisters very dearly. She was so sad when they passed away.
Fatima shows us how to be human and show our emotions without being over the top. She shows us how we should use our hearts and be warm and loving.
Fatima is the perfect role model for us to follow as she was devoted to her family, especially her father, she was warm and loving, she spoke with sincerity, she was always extremely kind to the poor and she had exceptional manners. We must try and apply ourselves to be like Fatima as much as we can, as she was such a wonderful woman and inshALLAH she will lead us into Paradise.
