SAYINGS OF FATIMA ZEHRA(A.S)

1. 
Praise and Eulogy is for Allah for the blessing and bounties which He
has bestowed. And thanks to HIM upon what He revelated (to His
servants) And Praise is for HIM upon the common boons and blessings
which He bestowed upon His servants without their request And upon
the comprehensive and complete blessings which He granted to all and
sundry and gave it to us, consequetively. Those graces and favours
which are uncountable. And are irredeemable and uncompensatable
due to their plentifulness of number. And the imagination of their end is
out of the reach of human mind. He invited the servant to thankfuness
for the sake of the consequetive and continous enhanecment of
blessings. And opened the door of euloqy and Praise (of Allah) upon
them so that He may make his favours and beneficiences great and
plentiful for them. 

2. 
I testify that there is no Diety (Lord) except the sole and matchless
Allah. And the testification of the singleness of Allah is a word that Allah
has declared sincerity (as) it's reality, and made the hearts the centre of
it's contact and union. And has made the specifications and research of
the oneness of Allah's station obvious and evident in the light of
meditation. The Allah Who can not be seen by the eyes and tongues
are unable and baffled to describe His virtues and attributes. And the
intelligence and apprehension of man is helpless and destitude from the
imagination of his howness. 

3. 
Allah made all the beings without previous matter and sample and
shape and pattern. And made them wear the dress of life by His main
and mights and created them according to His Devine will and Intention
short of it that He might have neeeded their creatlon or have wished
any benefit for Himself from their shaping and sketching except this that
he wanted to give a proof of Hls wisdom and make the people
(creations) aware about His obedience and submisslon and invited
them to his servitude and worship and make His Invitation grand and
ostentatlous. 

4.
Allah fixed the reward for His obedience and torment for His
insubordination and disobedience so that He may restraln His servants
from His wrath and fury and lead them to His paradise. 

5. 
And I testify that my father Mohammad (SAW) is the apostle and the
servant of Allah. And Allah selected and chose him before appolnting
him at the post of Prophethood. And He named him before choosing
and selecting him. And chose him before envoying and delegating him.
Then all the creations were hidden and covered in the covers of
unseen and were hidden amid the screen and curtain of fear and fright
and stayed near the last and final border of non entity (nothingness) for
Allah was aware of and knew the end of matters and because of Hls
encompassing the incidents of times and ages and His knowledge of
the predestinates. Allah appolnted him (as apostle) so that he may
complete and finalise His matter and Implement His order and
materialise His decreeds and predestinates. 

6. 
Allah saw nations and groups had various different sects in their
religion and scattered and staying on the verge of the fires of
differences, busy with the their idol worshipping. They denied God with
all the signs and symbols of HIM. (IRFAN) So Allah illuminated the
darknesses through my father Mohammad (SAW) and removed the
darknesses from their hearts, removed (cured) the blindness of the
eyes. 

7. 
My father (Mohammad (SAW) ) stood up with (his) guidance among the
people. And saved them from perversion and aberration, and turned
their blindness into enlightenment and guided them towards the firm
redligion. And called (invited) them to the straight way. 

8. 
You the servants of Allah, are the ones to maintain His injunctions and
prohibitions, and the carriers of His religion, and His relevation, and the
trustees of Allah upon your souls, and the propagators of His religion
among the other nations. 

9. 
Oh the servants of Allah! (beware) the real leader from Allah, is present
among you and the commitment has previously been made to you and
the remaining and left over of the prophet hood has been appointed for
your guidance. That is the speaking book of Allah the truthful Quran,
and a beaming and gleaming light, in which all the secrets and facts
about the completion of man and his prosperity have been exhibited
and illuminated. It guides from darkness towards light of guidance. It s
followers are the subject of envoy of others. 

10. 
The book of Allah is the guide of it's followers towards the pleasure of
Allah. Listening (carefully) to it leads to the salvation. The enlightened
and conspicous evidences and proofs of Allah can be obtained through
it. And (also the knowledge) of His interpreted intentions and fear
invoking constraining prohibitions. His sufficing testimonies and
conspicous arguments, and desired virtues and allowed endowments
and gifts and obligatory devine laws. (can be obtained from it) 

11. 
Allah made the faith for you as a purity from polytheism (and infedility). 

12. 
And (made) service the cause of your getting distant (purification) from
pride (egoism).

And Allah set Hajj for the consolidation and reinforcement of the
religion.

harmonization of the hearts. 

17. 
And (Allah set) the subordination and obedience of us (the houshold of
the Prophet (SAW)) for the security of society's system and our
Immamate as a safety from seggregation and disunity). 

18. 
And (Allah made) Jahad (holy war), the honour and glory for Islam and
abjectness and humbleness for the infidels and the hypocrites. 

19. 
And (Allah rendered) patience as a help for getting reward. 

20. 
And (Allah caused) commanding goodness and forbiding to do evil for
the amendment and correction of society and the common folks
(public). 

21.

and displeasure. 

22. 
And Allah made joining and connecting with the kinship and cognation, the cause
of lengthening of life. 

23. 
And Allah made law of retaliation (revenge for homicide) as the security of blood
(from being shed). 

24.

And Allah executed the vow performing as a medium for forgiveness. 

25. 
And (Allah rendered) the correct use of weights measure (units) a medium for
stoping from selling less (than actual). 

26. 
And (Allah rendered) prohibition from drinking wine the cause of taking distance
from contaminations (evils). 

27. 
And Allah made the prohibition to accuse someone of adultery a protection
(shield) for avoiding (His) curse. 

28. 
And (Allah made) refraining from theft for the sake of positiveness and affirmation
for modesty. 

29. 
And Allah prohibited polytheism for the sake of (bringing about) sincerety in (His)
adoration and worship. 

30. 
Certainly, an apostle has come to you from among yourselves; grievous to him is
your falling into distress, excessively solictious respecting you; to the believers
(he is) compassionate, merciful. So if you assay and recognise him you will find
he is my father not the father of your women and the brother of my cousin, (Ali
a.s) not that of your men. And how nice a relation I have to him. So he
propagated his prophetic (mission). He always used to turn his face from the
polytheists. And fought against them till he beat them up. He would invite people
towards Allah by wisdom, and beautiful admonition. He broke the idols and
scattered the aggregation of polytheists in a way that they ran away (from the
battle fields), so that finally the hidden secret of oneness of Allah became
manifested by him. And he made the logic of religion reach the ears ((of the
people) and settled down the foam of the camels of satan and turned the salogan
yelling of those devils silent. And downed the agents of hypocrisy and mutual
commitments of the infidels got dissolved till such time that, you (people) spoke
to a group of enlightened and modest men with the words of oneness of Allah
and sincerity.

 You were on the edge of a fire ditch, and were a cup of drink and the morsal of a
greedy one and a firebrand of every hastey one and were being trampled on (by
other nations) and drank from the contaminated waters gathered over in ditches
and your energy (food) was (secured by) the leaves of trees and desert grass.
And for your abjectness and abasement you were always afraid that those
arround you might abduct you in the winking of an eye. So, Allah liberated you
(of these misfortunes) through my father Mohammed (SAW). Inspite of it that he
(SAW) was involved and at war against the intrepid and the hungry wolves of
Arab and the stubborns refractories of the people of the books (Jews and
Christians). Whenever his opponents would lit the fire of war, Allah extinguished
it to your benefit. 

32. 
Imam Hassan (AS) said, 'on the friday night I saw my mother (Fatima (as))
standing in her arch of prayer. She was continuously kneeling and performing
prostration till the dawn broke. I would hear her pray for the faithful men and
women, but she did not at all pray for herself. I said, 'Oh mother why did you not
pray for yourself like you prayed for others?' so she replied, 'Oh myOh my son, first thy
neighbour and there after your own house.' 

33. 
The Prophet (SAW) said to Fatima (AS) what is the thing which is a blessing for
woman?' She said that, 'she must not see a man (stranger and not intimate) and
a man must not see her.' 

34. 
One day a lady came to Fatima (AS) said 'I have a weak old mother who does
not know a few problems about her service (prayers). She has sent me towards
you to question you (about them). Thus Fatima answered her (questions). And
the number of her queries reached to ten and Fatima (AS) replied to all her
questions. Then she (the woman got a shamed because of the high number of
her questions. And said, 'Oh daughter of the Prophet (SAW), 'I do not put you to
more inconvinience than this.' Fatima (AS) said, 'Ask me what you do not know.
Have you ever seen a person who is one day hired to carry a heavy thing to the
roof top from ground for an amount (equal to) a thousand dinnars (nearly a
hundred thousand miskal (unit of weight) of gold) and he may feel himself tired.' She said 'No'. Fatima (AS) said, 'I have been hired by Allah to get a wages which
if the space between the earth and sky is filled up with pearls still (That wages)
would he more than it for each of the questions I may answer you. Therefore, I
deserve it that I must not feel tired exhausted.' 

35. 
Oh Allah! belittle me in my eyes and glorify and magnify Your station to me. And
inspire me (about) Your obedience and the practice which may cause Your
pleasure and the shunning and evading from things (matters) which are the
cause of Your wrath, oh the most merciful of all! 

36. 
Oh Allah! content me with the sustenence you have granted me. And till such
time that you keep me alive, hide me and make me sound and prosperous. And
forgive me and take pity upon me when I die. (During death process). Oh Allah!
do not help me in something that you have not predestined for me. And facilitate
the achievement of that thing which you have predestined for me. 

37.

 Oh Allah! bestow upon my parents and all those persons who have rights of their
blessings and beneficiences upon me, the best of Your rewards. Oh my Allah,
spare me the leisure and respite for the object for which You have created me.
And do not let me be busy and involved (absolutely) in my commitments. And do
not torment me when I ask forgivensess. And do not deprive me of what I yearn
and question you for. 

38. 
Underlying are the rhymes which Hazrat Zahra (AS) recited upon the mourning of
Prophet's (SAW) demise. The person who smells the sweet fragnance of the
grave of the Prophet (SAW) so what if he does not smell any other fragnance for
long times to come? Agonies and anguishes and griefs poured upon me in such
a way that had they poured upon days those would have turned into nights.
(bleak, dark and bewildering). 

39. 
The dust of sorrow covered the space of sky and the sun has faded and the
bright day turned bleak. The earth has become dark and gooomy after the death
of the Prophet (SAW) Woe! Alas! what the earth will have much of Jolting upon
being seperated and parted from him (SAW). It is meritorious and befitting that
the east and west of the world may weep upon the parting of Prophet (SAW) and
the persons of Muzzir tribe and all of they rest of the Yemen tribes shed tears. 
And the great magnificient mountain of the existence and the hidden and covered
Kabaah (House of ALLAH) and its pillars should shed tears. Oh the terminator
and finaliser of the (series of) prophets! the light of whome is the source of
blessing for the worlds inhabitants, Be the salutation and blessings of Allah the
desender of Holy Quran upon you. 

40 
Following you (Prophet (SAW)) inequities (intrigues and revolts) took shape and
varient voices were raised so that if you were present and supervising (things)
all these differences and deviations would not have taken place. You set off (on
the journey of eternity) from among us and now our condition is like the earth
which becomes devoid of the beneficial rains. And your nation upset the order
and discipline of matters. So be a witness and do not let their matter get out of
your sight.
