Divine character of the holy daughter of honorable prophet of Islam

Imam Khomeini time and again highlighted the divine character and virtues of the holy daughter of the honorable prophet of Islam.

Divine lady Fatima (peace be upon her) assisted her father, the holy prophet of Islam in promoting and conveying the divine message to the mankind in early days of Islam at a very sensitive juncture of the history.

Holy Lady Fatima (PBUH) granted the women with great dignity and raised their status and positions among the mankind societies.

Islamic Revolution under wise leadership of Imam Khomeini raised women status in the society, and sought their active participation in all cultural, religious and political fields.

Through his historic messages, Imam Khomeini stressed the need to adopt Hadrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH) and infallibles from household the holy prophet of Islam to be adopted as divine role model.

Imam Khomeini on various occasions in this regard said as following:

Likewise, if you women here, indeed all our women all over the country, have accepted today as Women’s Day, that is, have accepted the day which marks the birthday of HazratFatima Zahra, with all the perfection it represents and the position it enjoys, as Women’s Day, then you have a great task to perform, one which includes struggle, just as she struggled, to the best of her ability, during the short span of her life, addressing the governments of the time and passing judgement on them. To truly accept her birthday as Women’s Day, you must imitate her. To truly accept it you must follow her example in her renunciation of the things of this world, in her devotion and piety and in all the virtues she possessed. If you do not do this, then you have not entered into the true spirit of Women’s Day. Whoever does not accept these things has not entered into the true spirit of Women’s Day and has not recognised its true nature.

Strive to purify your character and to make your friends do likewise. Strive so that you react to the outrages committed against you. In your attempts to uphold all the qualities that make up the great character of woman, be as that unique woman, Hazrat Fatima Zahra, upon whom be peace, was. All of us should take our exemplar from Islam by looking at her and her children, and being as she was. Strive to acquire learning and godliness, for learning is not the preserve ofany one person, learning is for all, godliness is for all, and striving to acquire learning and achieve godliness is the duty of us all.

12 March 1985 (21 Isfand 1363 AHS)

We must take this family as our role model, our women should try to emulate their women, and our men their men. All of us should learn from all of them. They dedicated their lives to the support of the oppressed and to the revival of the divine traditions. We should follow their example and dedicate our lives to them. He who knows the history of Islam, knows that each member of this family was a perfect human being, even more than that, a divine being, a spiritual person who rose up for the people and for the oppressed against those who sought to destroy them.
