Demand of Fadak and its political reasons It may be said that Fatima Zahra (p.b.u.h) (the Lady of Paradise) was least interested in the worldly possessions. And a person who had all along remained aloof from such things of the world and did not like at all rather hated its deceit and intrigues, on what grounds she consistently agitated before the Government for assertion of her rights over Fadak? She (p.b.u.h) being a Lady of exalted disposition, enjoying great spiritual prestige where these characteristics of hers were well accepted by all in the Islamic world, why was she so persistent on the question of Fadak? And she continued her struggle for its return so that the land which was usurped by the government could come back to her. After all what was the reason behind all these efforts? Specially when she was least interested in the world and its possessions, and in her eyes the value of it was less than mucus coming out of goat’s sneeze or was even lower value than a bone of a pig in the mouth of a leper; and was lighter than the wing of a fly. What was the factor that had forced her (p.b.u.h) to bear all these hardships, affliction and troubles? Was a small piece of land and a few date trees the cause of it? She was fully aware that all her efforts would go in vain and that she would not get back the land from the Government. It is but natural that such questions arise in the minds

The Holy Birth of Janabe Batool (s.a.) Ayesha narrates from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) that during his Accession (Meraj), he had seen a very beautiful tree, the like of which he had never seen before. He ate a fruit of that tree, from which the essence of Janabe Fatema (a.s.) was prepared, and on his return, he transferred that essence towards Khadija. Therefore, whenever, he (Prophet) wished to smell the scent of Paradise, he used to smell Janabe Fatema (a.s.). Darr-ul-Mansoor, Book 5, page 218, "Zakhairul Uqbah" page 36, "Mustadrak", Book 3, page 156, "Tareeq-e-Baghdad", Book 5, page 87 When Janabe Fatema (a.s.), was in the womb of her mother, she used to talk to her. Mansoori Shafaiee in his book titled "Nuzhetul Majalis", Book 2, page 227, and Dahlavi, in "Tajhers-ul-Jaish" Reason for the creation of the universe Ibn Abbas relates from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) that, "When Allah (s.w.t.) created Hazrat Adam (a.s.) and Angels prostrated before him, Adam (a.s.) asked Allah (s.w.t.) whether He had created any one, who was more dear to Him." Allah (s.w.t.) replied, "Yes! If it were not for them, I would not have created you." Then Hazrat Adam (a.s.) expressed his desire to see them. At that time, Allah (s.w.t.) ordered the Angels to set aside the curtain and Hazrat Adam (a.s.) saw five shadows in front of the Throne (Arsh) of Allah. He (Adam) then asked "O' Allah! Who are they?" Allah (s.w.t.) replied "This is Prophet Mohammad (s.a.w.a.), his cousin brother and successor, Ameerul Momeneen Ali (a.s.), Fatema the beloved daughter of my Messenger and the sons of Ali and the Prophet, Hasan and Husain. Listen O Adam, they are among your progeny." Ref: Shaikul Islam Hamuveni in his book "Faradalus Semta'een", Book-1, page 36 Love of Janabe Fatema (s.a.) will save you at 100 places Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) informed Salmaan that, "He who befriends Fatema, will be with me in the Paradise and he who bears enmity towards Fatema , will enter the fire of Hell. O' Salmaan! Love of Fatema will save you at 100 places. Out of these, the few that are the least difficult are: Death (Maut), Grave (Qabr), Scales (Mizan), Day of Rising (Hashr), Bridge of Seraat and Accounting (Hisab). He with whom my daughter is pleased, I am also be pleased with him, and with whom, I am pleased, Allah is also pleased with him. And he, with whom Fatema is angry, I am angry with him, and when I am angry, Allah is also angry. The worst of men is the one who oppresses Fatema or her husband Ameerul Momeneen or any of her sons or any of her Shiah." Allama Hamuveni, in his valuable book "Faradaius Simta'een", Book 2, page 67 Paradise on Salutation Yazid Abdul Malik relates from his grandfather that, when he went to Fatema (a.s.), she took initiative in saluting him and said that when her father (Prophet) was alive, he used to say that whosoever sends salaams to him (Prophet) and to me continuously for three days, will earn Paradise. Then the narrator asked, "Is it during your lifetime?" She (Fatema) said, "Be it in my lifetime or after that, it makes no difference." Allamah Ibn Mughazali Shafaiee in his book "Manaqib" page 363 Equal in rank to Imam Ali (a.s.) Umme Salma has related from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) that "If Allah would not have created Ali Bin Abi Talib, there would not have been any one equal to the rank of Fatema (a.s.)."
