BIRTHDAY OF HAZRAT ZAHRA (peace be upon her)
Hazrat Fatemeh Zahra (peace be upon her) the honorable daughter of prophet
of Islam was born on 20th Jamadiolsani, the fifth year after
announcement of prophecy. She grew in the house of prophet. She was a youth
enjoying all the human attainment and a lady at the highest ranks of purity and
deservedness. She was the purest mother, memory of the centuries can ever
remember. The whole great innocence belongs to her and she is the great forgiver
of man’s sins on the day of pandemonium.
Hazrat Fatemeh (p.b.u.h.) has been called in different narrations by the
different names. Imam Sadegh (p.b.u.h.) prescribed:
Fatemeh bears the names from part of Allah, Fatemeh, Alsedigheh, Almobarakeh,
Altahereh, Alzakieh, Alrezieh, Almarzieh, Almohadeseh, Alzahra.” Hazrat Fatemeh
has nine names including: Fatemeh, Sedigheh, Mobarakeh, Tahereh, Zakieh, Razieh,
Marzieh, Mohadaseh, Zahra.
We seize the opportunity to mention some of the names and to explain a
little about them.
FATEMEH:
considering what Imam Sadegh and Imam Reza told, Hazrat Fatemeh was called this
way because she was separated from all evil, or bad, all negative points and
there is no black point in her life. Fire has been prohibited from she and her
true followers (Shiite).
ZAHRA: having
derived from the word: ZOHOUR, meaning brightness. Zahra means bright, shiny.
Ibn Abbas, one of the prophets of God (peace be upon him) has narrated:
“my daughter, FATEMEH, when she stands against God to worship, her light will
throw at the angels at the sky, just as light of stars throws at the people on
the earth.”
Imam Sadegh (p.b.u.h.) was asked about the name of Zahra, he said: “know that
daughter of prophet of Islam was named ZAHRA because God created her out of His
own glory.”
SEDIGHEH: it
means very honest, one who is pure truth, has never lied, and has fulfilled
honesty in her acts. What God prescribed and ordered His prophets confirms the
same. In what the prophets were inspired by God, no doubt will occur. God
confirmed the same fact in a verse.
The narrations show that the rank of the honest is the same as the rank of
the prophets and martyrs, for whom a special grade and account shall be
considered.
In a prescription to Hazrat Ali, prophet called honest Hazrat Fatemeh
(p.b.u.h.) and she was truly rightful.
MOBARAKEH: it is derived from the word: bounty, meaning growth,
prosperity, increase, where divine consciousness can not be measured, counted,
limited, and kept and whoever looks at it, might feel abundant increase, so it
is bounty. Almighty God granted all sorts of bounty to Fatemeh Zahra (p.b.u.h.)
and granted to her generation of prophet of God.
TAHEREH: This
glorious name indicates to purity, sacredness, spirituality and the sacred
verse: pure confirms the same thing.
MOHADASEH: It has been narrated from the sixth innocent Imam
(p.b.u.h.) when he prescribed: FATEMEH was called MOHADASEH because the
angels of sky came down to talk to her as they called Maryam, daughter of Omran.
The sky’s angles told to Fatemeh Zahra (p.b.u.h.): “Oh! Fatemeh! God has
selected you and has purified you and has granted to you a higher rank, than the
women at both worlds.” Also, the narrations about Moshaf Fatemieh indicate the
facts that Gabriel came down to land to meet Hazrat Zahra and told her about
some realities and some accidents which were going to happen in future and Ali
(p.b.u.h.) was writing them down.
FATEMEH in Quran:
Many facts have been told about glory and high rank of sacred daughter of
prophet and many beautiful stories and speeches can be sought in Quran about her
personality. In quran, Fatemeh is the meaning and definition of sacred sura:
Kosar and as we mentioned, she is a clear evidence of sacred verse of Tathir
(purification). Among the great figures mentioned in the sacred verse, when the
Christians were not convinced about the verse related to Jesus and prophet
suggested to them the solution of Mobaheleh (as he was inspired). (Sura: Al
Emran, verses 60/61) the next morning, the high ranked board of Najran observed
out of Medina that prophet of God accompanied by his daughter, his son in law,
two grand children went for Mobaheleh, the arch bishop found out greatness of
this family and requested that they were exempted from mobaheleh.
He is one of the great characteristics mentioned in sacred verse: Ghorbi.
When Fatemeh prayed for recovery of Hassan and Hossein (p.b.u.h.) to be on fast
for three days, after the children were better and her praying was fulfilled,
she gave her food for three days to the poor people who were referring to her
house. In the fourth day, when prophet of God watched her, the angle read to
them the beginning verses of sura: Hal Ata.
Considering the descriptions of Hazrat Zahra and her life, her life is a
comprehensive culture for prosperity and approximation to God. in the end, we
present to the honorable readers a narration of Hazrat Zahra (p.b.u.h.)
“One who sends to God her pure worships, God will send to him/her His
greatest benefits.”
