The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) has said :

... Every time I am eager to smell the fragrance of heavens, I smell the fragrance of my daughter Fatima ... .

(Amaali Sheikh Sadooq, Behaar-Ol-Anwaar)

Lady Fatima's heavenly origination is neither a literary parable nor an exaggeration, rather it is a fact mentioned in both the Shi'ah and Sunni documents. God -willing in its time, we shall narrate the delightful stories of the events leading to her birth and her celestial coming in to this world; surely, she was a gift from heavens. Allah bestowed a daughter to His be;loved Prophet -Mohammad (PBUH&HP)- at a time when the pre-Islamic Arabs used to bury their baby girls, alive . Perhaps Allah and His Prophet wanted to teach everyone that a baby girl is someone to be happy, proud and thankful about. Unfortunately, still many people around the world abort their unborn daughters simply because they want son; the same old ignorance continues ... . The Prophet made his love and respect for Fatima manifest in front of others. Every time Lady Fatima (PBUH) entered the room, the prophet showed love and respect for her and greeted her. The Prophet has tried to teach all the ignorant people of all times that women are precious creations of Alla. Lady Fatima was a perfect manifestation of everything a women should be. Evey time the Prophet desired to smell the celestial fragrance of heavens, he held Fatima in his arms and smelled her. She truly was the most beautiful flower from heavens. This same Hadith has been narrated in Sunni documents with a slight difference, in their documents, it has been said that any time the prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) wished to smell heavens, he kissed Fatima (Sawaa'eq-Ol-Mohraqah,...). The Divinely bestowed status of Lady Fatima (PBUH) is so highly exalted that the narratives indicate that in the Judgment Day, Allah shall ask Fatima to enter heavens along with any one she wishes.

Studying Lady Fatima's way of life provides key points for any women who wishes to live as Allah wishes; any intelligent persons realizes that the most benevolent and loving Allah only wishes that which is the best and most perfect for humankind. Lady Fatima (PBUH) was a heavenly gift to humankind so that in her way of life, humankind may find the special status of women in family and society. It is so unfortunate that women -for many reasons, such as the distortions in divine teachings which resulted into oppressions against women- have not yet found their true identity. Many women today try to be like men so that they may be accepted by men and the society; some try to be dolls and s ex objects so that they may be accepted by men and the society; others work so hard outside their homes as well as being mothers, wives and house-managers at the same time, so that they may be accepted by men and the society;...; in another words, women have not yet found their own authentic status in creation. ironically, women's status is still being mostly defined by men, either directly or indirectly by men's expectations from women ! Every women can decide for herself, whether to follow the nearly earthly status defined by other humans or to chose the heavenly status defined by the Creator while having an active role in all aspects of life with all her Divine rights reserved ... .
