DR. MUHAMMAD TAHIR-UL-QADRI is in need of no introduction to those affiliated to the many fields, which he has mastered during a small period of time. He is the founding leader of Minhaj-ul-Quran International (MQI), which exists in over 80 countries of the world. Its main aims are working for global peace and human rights, reviving Islamic values, teachings and traditions and striving for the unity of the Ummah through a social, educational and spiritual struggle.
As Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri is presenting the true peaceful message of Islam pure from innovations added into it and internal and external political influences, his work, message and call are accepted with open arms. The main reasons being that he has portrayed Islam as a truly moderate faith in its original form, free from any form of extremism, fanaticism and terrorism. As part of his vast struggle for equality, equity and equal human rights for all, he has written over three hundred books on all kinds of modern, religious, spiritual and secular issues in English, Urdu and Arabic.
Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri is accepted as one of the highest authorities in the world on Islam, Islam and the West, Islam and Science and many other subjects, which is why he has delivered over 5000 lectures in international conferences, universities and institutions all over the world on all types of issues which are available on DVDs, Video/Audio cassettes and VCDs.
Although he is a scholar and a religious leader for whom there is no match, his educational and social efforts have also penetrated society.
Unlike any other religious personality, Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri and his mission have attracted people from varying sects and religions. He and his organisation are the sole hope for inter-sect and interfaith peace, harmony and unity.
In a growing international atmosphere of anti-Islamism, political conflicts between Western and Muslim countries and the distance between the West and Islam seeming to be increasing, Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri is the one man who can bridge the gap between the West and Islam. Not only can he solve the problems of the Muslim world but in doing so he will also solve the problems faced by Western nations.
The entire income of Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri’s books, recorded audio/video cassettes and CDs of his lectures/addresses, is donated on his behalf to Minhaj-ul-Quran International (MQI).

In this day and age Muslims are fully inundated upon the biographies of celebrities, sports stars and actors yet do they have the same amount of information about the members of the Prophet’s family, companions and other important Islamic personalities? The sad fact is that Muslims, particularly in the West, are unfamiliar with even the names of such great people let alone have a detailed account of their lives which they can use as guides on how to perfect their own life styles.
To put an end to this alienation of important personalities of Islam, Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has compiled a series of hadith books on them. This book is one of those collections of traditions.
The status of Sayyedah Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her], the blessed daughter of the Prophet Muhammad(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] , is so great that those who are oblivious to it are not only doing injustice to themselves by depriving themselves from her teachings but are also unknowingly showing disregard to the Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] .
At a time when Muslim women are flooded with so-called female role models, who rather than encouraging a modest and pure lifestyle, practice and preach the contrary, it is indeed time for Muslim women to adopt the life style of Sayyedah Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her] who received divine praise for her morality.
People will be shocked to learn of the high esteem which she was held by the Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] and how divine commandments were revealed to the Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] which were specifically regarding Sayyedah Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her].
One of the main reasons for the downfall of the Muslims over the past centuries is that they have forgotten their true models and ideals instead adopting bogus and imperfect ones. Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri, in this book and many others in the series, has presented a cure for this cancer. The choice is now ours whether we want the true cure or opt for artificial ones.
For the ease of common readers the following formula has been used for Arabic words and names.
Various transliteration symbols which are commonly used have not been used in this book as not everyone is familiar with exactly what they stand for. For a few words where there has been no other way but to use an apostrophe, it has been used such as Ka‘b and Mu‘adh.
Other than the omission of transliteration symbols, all other rules of transliteration have been applied.
The Arabic form of names has been used rather than the European ones such as Ibrahim and not Abraham.

Safiyyah the daughter of Shaybah narrates that Ayeshah(Razeya-a-Allah Anha) [May Allah Be Pleased With Her] said, “The Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] came out one morning wearing a cloak which had camel saddles woven on to it with black wool. Then Hasan bin Ali(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu) [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] came and the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] took him under the cloak, then Husain(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu) [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] came and entered beneath it with the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] . Then Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her] came and the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] took her under the cloak. Next Ali(Karram-a-Allahu Wajhahu) [May God Honor Him] came and the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] also included him beneath it. Then the Holy Prophet Muhammad(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] recited the verse, ‘Allah only desires to keep away (all kinds of) impurity from you, O ‘people of the house!’ (the Prophet’s family) and to totally purify you,’ (al-Ahzab 33:33).”
-4عن عمر بن أبي سلمة ربيب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: لما نزلت هذه الآية على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: (إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيرًا) في بيت أم سلمة، فدعا فاطمة و حسنا و حسينا رضي الله عنهم فجللهم بكساء وعلي خلف ظهره فجلله بكساء، ثم قال: اللهم! هؤلاء أهل بيتي فأذهب عنهم الرجس وطهرهم تطهيرا.
Umar bin Abi Salamah(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu) [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] who was brought up by the Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] narrates that when the verse, “Allah only desires to keep away (all kinds of) impurity from you, O ‘people of the house!’ (the Prophet’s family) and to totally purify you,” (al-Ahzab 33:33), was revealed to the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] at the home of Umm Salamah(Razeya-a-Allah Anha) [May Allah Be Pleased With Her], he(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] called Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her], Hasan(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu) [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] and Husain(Razeya-a-Allah Anhu) [May Allah Be Pleased With Him] and covered them with a cloak.

These are my ahl-ul-bait (‘people of the house’) so keep impurity away from them and totally purify them.”

Are you not pleased with the fact that you are the leader of the women of all the
worlds, the leader of the women of this ummah (nation) and the leader of the women of all the believers.”
-6عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: أقبلت فاطمة تمشي كأن مشيتها مشي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: مرحبا بابنتي. ثم أجلسها عن يمينه أو عن شماله، ثم أسر إليها حديثا فبكت فقلت لها: لم تبكين؟ ثم أسر إليها حديثا فضحكت، فقلت: ما رأيت كاليوم فرحا أقرب من حزن، فسألتها عما قال، فقالت: ما كنت لأفشي سر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى قبض النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فسألتها، فقالت: أسر إلي: إن جبريل كان يعارضني القرآن كل سنة مرة، وإنه عارضني العام مرتين، ولا أراه إلا حضر أجلي، وإنك أول أهل بيتي لحاقا بي. فبكيت، فقال: أما ترضين، أن تكوني سيدة نساء أهل الجنة، أو نساء المؤمنين! فضحكت لذلك.

The Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] welcomed his beloved daughter and seated her on his right hand side or on the left hand side*. Then he whispered something to her which made her cry. So I asked her why she was crying. Then the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] whispered something to her and she laughed. So I said, ‘I have never seen happiness so close to sadness as I have seen today.’ I asked (Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her], ‘What did the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] say?’ She replied, ‘I cannot disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] .’ When the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] passed away I asked her again (about this incident) and she replied, ‘The Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] whispered to me, ‘Every year Jibraeel recites the whole of the Quran with me once but this year he has recited it twice. I am sure that the end of my time in this world has come and indeed you are the first from my family who will come to me.’ This made me cry. Then the Holy Prophet(Salla-a-Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) [Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him] whispered, ‘Are you not happy with the fact that you are the leader of the women of Paradise or the leader of all Muslim women*.’ To this I laughed.’”

(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her] had the illness which took her life, I nursed her. During this time, on one occasion her condition was slightly better one morning. Ali(Karram-a-Allahu Wajhahu) [May God Honor Him] had gone out for some job. Fatimah said, ‘O mother! Bring some water for me to bathe.’ I brought some water and as far as I saw she bathed perfectly. Then she said, ‘O mother, bring me new clothes’ so I gave her clothes to her and she put them on. Then she said, ‘O mother! Make my bed for me in the middle of the house,’ so I did accordingly. Then she laid down, faced towards the Kabah, placed her hand under her cheek and said, ‘O mother! It is time for my death and I have purified myself. Do not let anybody undress me.’ Fatimah(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her] passed away in that very
position.” Umm Salmah continues, “Then Ali(Karram-a-Allahu Wajhahu) [May God Honor Him] came back and I informed him of Fatimah’s(Salam-u-Allah Alaiha) [Peace Be Upon Her] death.”

Explanatory Note
Traditions in this chapter are no contrast to those in chapter three and four. The excellence of Asiyah, Maryam and Khadijah was in relation to their own periods. The greatness of the Leader of all women, Fatimah, is beyond time and space. The poet of East, Allama Iqbal, also pays her homage as the world’s most perfect woman. The gist of his poem runs as follows:
Maryam’s relation with prophet Isa alone brought her the crown of excellence while the daughter of the Master of the Universe, Muhammad, had three honours to her credit. First, she was the light of the Prophet’s1 eye who was the leader of all the prophets and the whole universe. Secondly, she was the wife of the Lion of Allah2, who was the Master of all the Believers. Her husband was such a content person as his whole home consisted of no more than a sword and a shield. And thirdly, she was the mother of the one3 who was the leader of the caravan of love and passion.
