Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Revolution maintained that the infallible holy lady Fatimah Zahra (peace be upon her) had earned grace for all woman and mankind.
The holy divine lady has been declared by Allah and His Prophet as a suitable role model, a guiding light for salvation and a path to perfection.
With the birth of hadrat Fatima Zahra, Allah revealed the Chapters of Kauthar, Qadr and Dahr to praise her auspicious birth.
This heavenly lady had several names each being more meaningful than the other; 1) Fatimah 2) Siddiqah 3) Tahirah 4) Mubarakah 5) Zakiyah 6) Radhiyah 7) Mardhiyah 8) Muhaddithah 9) Zahra each of which is a statement of the qualities and blessings of her blessed being.
Imam Khomeini advised women to follow the footsteps and divine character of Hazrat Fatima; the daughter of the noble holy prophet of Islam.
By praising her virtues, the Prophet of Islam firmly established the value of women in the Islamic society.
Imam Khomeini frequently highlighted through his messages, speeches and works that the Muslim and other societies can attain salvation by following the teachings and character of the divine lady Fatimah and her pure progeny.
Zahra looked after her father Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam as devoutly as he used to call her “Umme Abiha”, i.e. the mother her father. The holy prophet of Islam faced very tough circumstances and conditions after the death of his wife, lady Khadijah, and his uncle Abu Talib.
Fatima used to dress the wounds sustained by her noble father due to the stones thrown on him by the non believers who were against to the preaching of Islam.
The holy lady Fatima was the model of Prophet’s teaching among women just as her husband ‘Ali (peace be upon them) was the best embodiment of his instructions and manly qualities among men.
According to Imam Khomeini's speech: "Women are the educators of society. It is from the laps of women that true human beings originate. The first stage in the development of sound men and women begins in the lap of a woman. Women are the educators of human beings. A country’s success or its misfortune depends on women. If they impart sound teachings, they create (sound) human beings and a flourishing country. Good fortune originates from the laps of women, they should be the source of every success and happiness, yet unfortunately this father and son, in particular this son, turned women into playthings. The number of crimes they perpetrated against the women they did not perpetrate against the men."
Imam always insisted that the Islamic and world societies could prevent from moral and social decline and collapse by following the character of the teachings of the divine lady Fatimah and her pure progeny.
The holy prophet used to say: Fatima is a part of me, and the light of my eyes, the fruit of my heart, and my soul… and she is Huri (Angel) with Human qualities.
