The Brilliant Creation
God Almighty was a Hidden
Gem.
His Providence had decided to
create a human creature on
Earth, who would be His rightful
heir. So, to show His Might and
Power and to create the most
noble creature who would be His
trustful servant, and the trustee
of His Knowledge, He created
the five "Holy Ones ". Among
these five Holy creatures on the
Heavenly plane, Sayyida Fatima
Zahra (a.s) was the most
beautiful creation among all the
other creations.
In an authentic Hadith, it is said:
"O Ahmad (s.a.w)! If it weren't
for Thee, I would never have

its trunk is represented by Ali
(a.s), while its root is represented
by Fatima (a.s), and its fruit are
Fatima’s Progeny (a.s), and
finally its leaves and blossoms are
none others than the Shia of
Fatima."
It was a short life, as short as the
life of a fragrant flower.
The earthly life that Sayyida
Fatima Zahra (a.s) endured and
suffered came to a grievous end
before it was given the chance to
fully blossom.
Sayyida Fatima Zahra (a.s), The
Queen and Mistress of the
worlds and the women of
paradise, a locus of divinity and
knowledge on earth, an
enlightened body devoted to the
servitude of her Lord, a perfect
