Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) Online Seminary offers heartfelt condolences on the Occasion of the Demise Anniversary of Lady Fatimah, al-Ma'sumah (peace be upon her)

“Peace be on you, O daughter of the Messenger of Allah!

Peace be on you, O, daughter of Fatimah and Khadeejah! 
Peace be on you, O, daughter of the Commander of the faithful! Peace be on you, O, daughter of Hasan and Husain! 
Peace be on you, O, daughter of the vicegerent of Allah! Peace be on you, O, sister of the vicegerent of Allah! Peace be on you, O, Aunt of the vicegerent of Allah! 
Peace be on you, O, daughter of Mosa bin Jafar! May Allah confer His Mercy and blessing on you!” 

 

The 10th of Rabi’ al-Thani is a day of grief for the lovers of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them). On this day the daughter of our 7th Imam, Imam Kadhim (peace be upon him), due to the Oppression of the Abbasid Caliphate, departed from this world.  The Imam had named her beloved daughter Fatimah and her brother, Imam Ridha (peace be upon her) gave her the title of Ma’sumah (the infallible). The title of Ma’sumah given to her by an Infallible Imam speaks volumes for her Esteemed Status.

The Guardian of Wilayah (divine authority)

Lady Ma’sumah (peace be upon her) in order to propagate and defend the divine Authority of the Imam of her time, Imam Ridha(peace be upon him), had the etiquettes of Lady Fatimah and Lady Zainab (peace be upon them).  Her trip from Medina towards Khurasan with the aim of reuniting with Imam Ridha (peace be upon him), although led to her demise, is an everlasting story of being a steadfast devout towards guarding and propagating Wilayah.

The Sanctuary of Lady Ma’sumah (peace be upon her)

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) says: Allah (s) has a sanctuary that is Mecca. The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) also has a sanctuary which is Medina. Similarly, the Commander of the faithful also has a sanctuary which is Kufa and we also have a sanctuary that is Qum. Soon a lady from my progeny will be buried over there whose name will be Fatimah. Whoever visits her, Paradise will become obligatory on him/her.

Shia Intercession

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) in a statement mentioning the lofty status of Lady Ma’sumah (peace be upon her) says: Through the intercession of Fatimah al-Ma’suma (peace be upon her); all our Shias will enter Paradise.

On this day as we mourn the loss of Lady Fatimah (peace be upon her) we ask Allah (s) to bless us with the opportunity to visit her shrine in this world as well as to grant us her intercession on the day of Judgement.
