Fatima's (SA) Youth
Lady Fatima Zahra (A.S.) opened her eyes to the world to enjoy prophetic fatherly love and to suckle Khadija's milk, which
s mixed with excellent morals and perfection.Growing in the house of revelation, gave her the chance to achieve the highest degree of perfection and excellence. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) taught her divine knowledge and endowed her with special intelligence, so that she realized the t
e meaning of faith, piety, and the reality of Islam.The virtuous upbringing of Fatima by Allah's Messenger as accompanied by her capability to perceive divine facts and her spiritual brilliance and preparedness to ascend to the highest levels of perfection.
Parallel to this,
s Allah's will that Fatima Zahra should face many sorrows and live in anguish from the very beginning of her life. She opened her eyes to see her father being fought by his relatives and strangers and treated with hostility by the infidels and polytheists. For instance, Fatima might have entered the Sacred Mosque and seen her father reading Quran in the private chamber of Ismael (around Kaaba), while polytheists were harming him and ging a psychological r against him. One day, Fatima saw the infidels pour camel placenta on her father while he s prostrating to Allah; so she cleaned his back and while bitterly crying, cursed he unbelievers and supplicated to Allah to punish them. But theinfidels were sarcastic, in the same respect as any lowly people and
bble would be.Ibn Abbas reported that the Quraishians once held a meeting in the Sacred Mosque and vowed by their Idols that as soon as they saw Muhammad, they would all participate in killing him; upon hearing this, Fatima (A.S.) went crying to her father and informed him of their conspiracy.
The crisis became more intense when the Messenger of Allah
s forcefully confined to Abu Talib's trail (valley) along with his family and all the members of Abu Talib's family. They lived in an atmosphere overtaken by fear and anxiety of the constantly expected attack by the infidels at night. The situation g
even worse when the polytheists d up a treaty to besiege Bani Hashim and impose economic sanctions against them; this treaty allowed no one to sell or buy anything from them, including food supplies.Therefore, the cries of starving children reached the ears of all Meccan inhabitants. The people of Mecca were divided into two groups: One who
s enjoying the misfortunes of the Bani Hashim and the other s deeply affected with their misery.This situation continued for more than three years. Fatima
s one of those who suffered from this siege, which resulted in akening the spirit of stggle, honesty and endurance in her; it s as if she s spending a period of training and exercise for the near future.Nevertheless, the predicament
s made easier when Fatima saw the courageous hero, Abu Talib, aided by Hamza keeping steadfast and helping her father in every y against the infidels' aggression. Abu Talib declared his adherence to Islam through uttering poetry. Once, the Quraishan heads objected to Abu Talib's support of the Prophet; they said to him: "We will give you ahandsome, generous, and courageous Quraishan youth (Amarh Ibn al-Walid) to become your son, if you give us your nephew -Muhammad - who disunites us and humiliates our idols, so that we may kill him!"
Abu Talib said: "This is an unfair offer! Do you mean to give me your son, so I can feed him for you and I give you my nephew to kill? (If this is your
y of dealing) then each one of you should give me his son to kill if you nt me to give you Muhammad to kill."Abu Talib's honorable stands in protecting the Prophet were numerous. Had it not been for his faith and strong adherence to Islam, he would not have been steadfast in defending the Messenger and his divine faith. Contrary to Abu Talib, another uncle of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.), Abu Lahab-fought fiercely and opposed the Prophet. His shameful conduct
s recorded in various history books and in the Holy Quran.---------------------------------------------------
