Do you know the Lady of Islam?
1.
She was the daughter of the Prophet of Allah
Whose every word was the word of Allah
The man who taught us La Illaaha Illallaa
The Prophet to whom the Quran was sent by Allah
It is this Prophet who said “Part of me is Fatema”
2.
She was married to Imaam-e-Ali
Always supporting the divine appointee
As he led Muslims in line with His decree
Never leaving unfulfilled any beggar’s plea
What a role model in life was Fatema
3.
Her eldest son was called Imaam-e-Hassan
Who also grew up teaching about the One
It is under him that reconciliation began
His treaty held the peace until it was undone
What a lesson in peace he had learnt from Fatema
4.
Her other son was called Imaam-e-Husayn
He had to deal with Yazid so inhumane
After trying peace with someone so inane
Sacrifices he endured again and again
That was something he had learnt from Fatema
5.
The story of Kisa is known by us all
There he was the Prophet of us all
With Ali, Hassan and Husayn under the shawl
After Fatema, Jibrael joined on Allah’s call
All under that Yemeni cloak of Fatema
6.
One of her sons is set to reappear
Until he does we will persevere
When he is here there will be no fear
He will make all injustices disappear
That will be the lasting legacy of Fatema
Understand the Lady of Islam
