Introduction

In this day and age Muslims are fully inundated upon

the biographies of celebrities , sports st ars and actors

yet do t hey have the same amount of informat ion

about t he members of the Prophet ’s family,

companions and other import ant Is lamic

personalit ies? T he sad fact is that Muslims,

particularly in t he West, are unfamiliar with even the

names of such great people let alone have a det ailed

account of t heir lives which t hey can use as guides on

how to perfect their own life styles .

To p ut an end to t his alienation of import ant

personalit ies of Is lam, Shaykh-ul-Is lam Dr.

Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has compiled a series of

hadith books on t hem. This book is one of t hose

collections of t radit ions.

The stat us of Sayyedah Fat imah (اهللا عليها سالم ), the

blessed daught er of the Prophet Muhammad (A), is

so great t hat those who are oblivious to it are not only

doing injust ice to themselves by depriving themselves

from her t eachings but are also unknowingly showing

disregard to t he Prophet (A).

At a time when Muslim women are flooded with so-

called female role models , who rather t han

2

encouraging a modest and pure lifestyle, practice and

preach t he contrary, it is indeed t ime for Muslim

women to adopt the life style of Sayyedah Fat imah

يها) اهللا عل سالم ) who received divine praise for her

morality.

People will be shocked to learn of t he high esteem

which she was held by t he Prophet (A) and how

divine commandments were revealed to the Prophet

(A) which were sp ecifically regarding Sayyedah

Fat imah (يها سالم اهللا عل ).

One of the main reasons for t he downfall of the

Muslims over t he p ast cent uries is t hat t hey have

forgott en their true models and ideals inst ead

adopting bogus and imperfect ones. Shaykh-ul-Islam

Dr. T ahir-ul-Qadri, in this book and many ot hers in

the series, has p resent ed a cure for this cancer. The

choice is now ours whet her we want t he t rue cure or

opt for artificial ones .

General Note

For the ease of common readers t he following formula

has been used for Arabic words and names.

Various t rans lit erat ion symbols which are commonly

used have not been used in this book as not everyone

is familiar wit h exact ly what t hey st and for. For a few

words where there has been no ot her way but t o use

an apostrophe, it has been used such as Ka‘b and

Mu‘adh.

Ot her than the omiss ion of translit erat ion symbols , all

ot her rules of t rans lit erat ion have been applied.

The Arabic form of names has been used rather t han

the European ones such as Ibrahim and not Abraham.
