TASKEEN W/O, MOHAMMED.ILIYAS
The Prophet is the perfect example for men, but could not
be so for women. For all the verses revealed in the Holy Qur'an for women, Fatima
is the perfect model, who translated every verse into action. Allah (S) praised her,
and is "satisfied with her satisfaction, and is angered when she is angered." And the
Messenger of Allah (S) commends her nobility and praiseworthy personality, while
Imam Ali (A.S) looks to her with respect and admiration and the holy Imams of
Ahlul-Bayt sanctify and venerate her.
Married: Married to Hazrat Imam Ali (AS), in the second year of migration.
Children: Imam Hasan (AS), Imam Hussain (AS), Hazrat Zainab, Hazrat Ume
Kulsoom and Mohsin (unborn child).
Titles: Zahra (the Lady of Light), Siddiqa, Tahira, Raazia, Inssiya, Batool, Marziya,
Mohaddisa, Hamida, KhirunisaHadi, Umul Hassanain, Ume Abeeha & Umul Aiymma.
One day, the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) of Islam said, "Oh Fatima God gets pleased on your
being pleased and gets furious due to your unhappiness and displeasure”.
Imam Abu Ja'far Al-Baqir (AS) said: "When Fatima was born, Allah(S) (Exalted is His
Name) revealed to an angel to speak the name Fatima with Muhammad's tongue.
Allah then said: "I have bestowed knowledge upon you and safeguarded you from
menstruation."
Then Abu Ja'far (A) added: "By Allah, Allah (Blessed and Exalted is His Name)
bestowed knowledge on her and safeguarded her from menstruation with the
covenant."
Imam Sadiq (AS) said: "Fatima has nine names near Allah (Exalted be His Name),
they are: Fatima, Siddiqah (the honest), Al-Mubarakah (the blessed one), At-Tahirah
(virtuous), Az-Zakiyah (the chaste), Ar Radhiatul Mardhiah (she who is gratified and
who shall be satisfied), Al-Muhaddathah (a person, other than a prophet, that the
angels speak to), and Az-Zahra (the splendid)."
Fatima (S.A.) was brought up and trained in the family of Prophet (P.B.U.H) and
took advantage and share the knowledge and wisdom of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.). She
heard the recitation of Quran from the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) and leant it by heart.
Several people asked Prophet (PBUH) for the hand of Fatima (SA), but Prophet
(PBUH) said, "I am waiting for the revelation in this connection." The revelation
came and Fatima's (SA) husband was also nominated. Allah ordered the Prophet
(P.B.U.H.), "Oh my prophet get the light (Noor) married to the light i.e., get Fatima
(S.A.) married with Imam Ali (A.S.)." After the aggregation of the tribe of Bani
Hashim and the friends and relations by the order of Prophet (P.B.U.H.) took place,
he (P.B.U.H.) delivered a Khutba (religious speech), sermon, and got Fatima (S.A.)
married to Imam Ali (A.S.) over a dowry equivalent to four hundred Masqal Silver
(one Masqal comes to nearly 3.45 grams).
Prophet (P.B.U.H.) held Fatima (S.A.) by her hand and handing her hand over
to Imam Ali (A.S.) said, "Oh Ali, Fatima is the best wife for you." Thereafter, he
addressed Fatima (SA) and said "Oh Fatima, Ali is a good husband for you."
Whenever Imam Ali (A.S.) called Fatima (SA), he addressed her by "Daughter of the
Prophet (P.B.U.H.)" and Fatima (S.A.) would address him as "Ameer ul Momineen"
(the Chief of the Faithfuls). Fatima (S.A.) is one of the four superior most and
virtuous ladies i.e., Mariam, Asiyah, Khatija, Fatima. Fatima (S.A.) is the heir of all
the honors and virtues. Who is the one continuing the great race originating and
beginning with Adam (A.S.), Ibrahim (A.S.), Moosa (A.S.), Essa [Christ] (A.S.) and
reaching Mohammad (P.B.U.H.).

SAGAT------- OURS
In other word this is a story of Bibi Fatima (Daughter of Mohammed SAWS ).This
incident which happened in Bibi Fatima's life when she was In a masjid -e-nabvi at
holy madina city.
THE INCIDENT IS One day when huzoor SAWS was doing prayer at masjid –e-
nabvi (Madina) a group of yahudi ( who doesn't follow islam) came and
requests to huzoor that they want to invite Bibi Sagat (Bibi Fatima) to their wedding
ceremony .They want Bibi sagat to come and bless the bride for her best future
,huzoor saws replied to wait ,then and went to his daughter convey the same to her,
but Bibi Fatima respectfully replied that I will obey your order but I can't go to the
wedding because I don’t have much beautiful dresses and jewelry . I only have one
pair of dress with one shawl(dushala) ,which have a lot of patches on to it. if I go
like this the ladies in the wedding taunt me that the daughter of great Mohammad
SAWS is leading her life in this poor status and you will get bad name cause of me .
The Bibi Fatima accepted and obeyed the same order went to the wedding in same
appearance as she was at that time at a little distance she started from the the
harram shareef of masjid –e-nabuvi hazarat Jibraeel Alaih va salam (the first angle
near to god ) appeared and brought a lot of hoor of jannah along with him and these
hoor of jannah has dressed her up well which they brought from jannah and also
jeweled her with lot of beautiful jewelleries .
By reciting tasbih wa durood and took her to the wedding .all ladies were
waiting for Bibi Fatima at the wedding came forward to welcome her and saw that
she is coming along with lakhs of kaneez (made /servents) and each kaneez was
showering flowers on her feet. Seeing this scene many woman's lost their conscious

earth every one were on air . A lot of fragrance was spread in air, the noor of allah

that cant be explained in words.
When Bibi Fatima (sagat) entered into bride's room boo-e- jannah ( special
fragrance from jannah )Has spread in the room and bride died by loosing her
conscious .the whole scene got changed into sadness and women sorrrounded there
started crying.
Bibi Fatima was very soft at hearted she was unable to bare the people sorrow
and also weeps along with them suddenly she walk off the room done her wazoo
and performed two rakaath namaz(Qaza –e- hazath) after that she went in to sajda
and started praying and weeping to god about this incident .
Oh, lord you can re-alive the dead. '' You can do any thing ,for sake of my
beloved father Mohammed SAWS, please re alive this bride otherwise people always
taunt me and my father due to the cause of death of this bride''.
''Before she ends up her prayer (duwa) to god the bride wake up by residing''.
'' Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alamin'', and by looking at Bibi Fatima she spell'' Assalam oh
daughter of Mohammed SAWS'' and touches her feet and says your FATHER IS LAST
NABI send by Allah and whole heartedly, I will accept Islam in front of you. She
recites ''Ashhadu anla ilaha illallahu vahadahu la sharee ka lahu va ash-hadu anna

By seeing the whole incident many members at the wedding become Muslim and
accepted the Islam. They gifted many kaneez (house maide) to her ,she accepted
all these gifts she went back to her home and explained whole incident to huzoor
Mohammad SAWS ,both father and daughter thanks to ''Allah(S)''and freed to all
kaneez .(maides).
The who one listen to the whole incident with
whole heartedly they will get fulfilled their wishes by
''Allah(S)''.
The gold smith wife searched the whole colony and went
towards forest but she didn’t found her son. at one place she sat in a state of
tiredness and slept. Suddenly she dreamt of the same lady with tremendous
charm on her face and a beautiful fragrance surrounded to her came and
asked the goldsmith wife about her promise.
The gold smith wife apologies to the lady about her fault
and promise again that if she find her son she will performed her promise
,goldsmith wife touches the lady feet and request that ''Queen of both the
world''.please forgive me on my fault and please help me finding my son.
The Bibi Fatima replied that your son is alive, go and find him in the oven of
a potter, who resides near by the well where you went to fetch water.
Immediately the goldsmith wife wake up and went to the potter and started
crying to return her son who was in the oven of a potter.
The old lady who resides in that house accepted to take the honor of reading
the story of Bibi Sagat.
The old lady had a bath performed wazoo and call the other ladies of her
families and reads the story then prayered fatiha on the name of Bibi Fatima
(Sagat) lit the lobhan costs 1 paisa and distributes thill gudh(worth 2 paisa
each) in those ladies and both goldsmith wife and her son too ate it.
One poor man heard the whole incident and went to the old lady
(who reads the story for goldsmith wife) and promises mannat to read the
story of Bibi Sagat if he get marry to rich family girl. Very soon he got
married to rich family girl but he also forget to perform his promise .as a
result the day he went to brides house he fell downs from horse and died by
losting his conscious .the people who came to attained the auspicious
occasion of wedding started crying .The old lady in front of whome
bridegroom has promised to read the story of Bibi Sagat was also
present.she suggested every one to calm dowan and she ask for 5 paise
from bridegrooms relative and brought thill-2paise gudh -2paise,lobhan
-1paisa done her wazoo and read the whole story of Bibi Sagat and finally
recite fatiha on the name of Bibi Fatima and distributes thill gudh to every
one and put some thill gudh in to the mouth of bridegroom .Suddenly
bridegroom wakeup by reciting ''La Illaha Illaallahu Vahadu La Shareekalahu
Va Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Abadahu Varasullah ''.And both bride
andbridegroom happily live after together.
The king to this country where this incident took place had only
daughter and king was worried about the marriage of his daughter .The king
called that old lady (who usually reads Bibi Sagat's story in every one s
house) and discuss his problem with that lady .The lady replied the same to
do promise of reading Bibi Sagat's story .The king promised the same and
the old lady left the palace. The next few days the princess got the best
match and king build a new palace for the couple and done their marriage
with a bang. But forgot to perform his promise.
As a result the palace which king built for the couple was
disappeared along with couple .the king was very upset and dishearten ,then
queen suggested him to recall if any promises .which were made but forgot
to perform then he recalled about thill (sesame) gudh(jaggesy). And he
bought quintals of thill and gudh distributed it into his kingdom. Suddenly the
same old lady came to king and told him that the promise was the story not
quintals of thill and gudh.
The old lady enterd into the palace and done his wazoo and collect all mades
of king, king, queen and read the story. Then she recite fatiha on the name
of Bibi Fatima ,lite the lobhan worth 1 paise and distribute thill and gudh –
worth 2 paisa each into the maide and king and queen.
Suddenly the palace was appeared and the couple was sleeping
inside the palace.
NOTE : The condition of distributing the thill gudh & lobhan worth 5
paisa is that thill gudh means it is the ingredients which is easily available to
every one and even the poorest can afford it because the cost of 5 paise is
very less.the sweet should be put for fatiha and sweet was the favorite food
for both Mohammad saws and Bibi Fatima.
I also request all readers to not only read the story but try to understand
the message behind the incident of Bibi Sagat and try to take lesson from
Bibi Fatima's life.
