Women of Islam

Do you think a woman can be sinless? Most people don't think so. Only Islam gives this honour to women. Who else besides Islam believes in perfection of women? The position of women is very high in Islam. This fact is not known in the west. There is lot of false propaganda against women in TV and newspapers. Islam is a religion of peace and it honours women. There is even a Woman's Day dedicated as a public holiday. The west pretends to give women rights, yet they don't have a single holiday for any woman. Instead they have special day for banks. West loves a bank more than any woman. They value banks higher than women. Maybe the west does not have a woman worth honouring with a special day.

Anyway, muslims have a special woman's day celebration. We have a national holiday for ladies, dedicated to honouring womanhood. It is to honour the rights of females. Islamic countries such as Iran dedicate a day to the high status of women, particularly Fatima, the greatest woman on earth. She is the most perfect lady world has ever known. The daughter of God's holy messenger is the noblest woman in the universe. She is the most beloved person to God and His messenger. He said he loved his daughter above all others. She is so holy that God made her leader of women in this world and the next. She is higher than the virgin Mary, mother of Jesus. We believer that Mary was pure and sinless like Jesus. Mary was the purest soul whom God selected to bear one of His messengers. Even this holy mother of Jesus is not greater than the noble Fatima.

We all know the Prophet Muhammad was sinless. But not many people know that Islam's noblest lady, Fatima, is also sinless. She is also holy. She never committed any wrong in her life. People loved her affection, her piety, her knowledge, and her virtues. Her descendents became the perfect leaders of humanity. God gave her the status of infallibility in His own holy book the Koran. She is superior to all women. She is most righteous and noble in character. Her happiness is God's happiness and her anger is God's anger. She is the wife of first Imam and mother of the eleven holy Imams.

Fatima is the greatest woman who ever walked this earth. She is the real First Lady. God made her perfect. We honour and respect her. The holy lady is infallible which means she cannot commit a sin or make a mistake. Her status highest in the eyes of God. God created her before He created the Universe. He made five Pure Lights: Fatima, her father, her husband, her two sons. These five are known as the five sinless beings, the Panj Tan Pak. She is central to all these. Muhammad was her father, Ali her husband, Hasan and Husayn her sons. This is the celestial family of Light. There is no other home like hers. Her husband was selected by God. God arranged marriage in the heavens above. God had decided that only a sinless and pure man will be her husband. Ali was the only man good enough for the sinless lady.

God had already made Ali the Master of the Universe. Even at the age of ten Ali recognized God and His Divine messenger. Ali vowed to support and protect God's religion. God ordred His messenger to make Ali his executive and successor to be the leader of the pious. This was Ali who was born inside the Sacred House of God in Mecca. Many people are unaware of the sacred mystery of the blessed House. Ali's birth place is visited by millions of pilgrims from all over the world. People worship God of Kaba. They circle the House where Ali was born. This was Ali whom God gave to Zahra. Others had proposed to marry her. But God rejected them all. Only a sinless soul would be the husband of the sinless Lady. Mother of Jesus did not marry because there was no one pure enough for her. Zahra too would have remained unmarried if Ali was not there. Their marriage was decided in the seven heavens by the Creator Himself. He blessed them and granted them two sons, who will be leaders of men in Paradise.

What a wonderful place to be in for any woman. Fatima the mother, leader of pious women. Her sons the leaders of righteous men. Husband, Ali the Master of the Universe, Lion of God and Guide of all true believers. Her father, Muhammad the holy messenger of God, sent as a mercy to the truth seekers in the universe. That is Fatima, the Radiant, the sinless, the purest, the greatest lady world had ever seen. Yet despite this she was oppressed and died in grief at age 25. God shall see to her persecutors. God bless Muhammad and his Descendents. Peace, honour and salutations of all creation be upon them. God be praised for creating such a noble woman. There is no God other than Allah. Creator all things.
