The Prophet\u2019s face changed as he wondered why Fatima said this? What could the condition be? The angel Gabriel (as) came and told him, \u201cO Prophet, do not make a quick decision concerning her. God is telling you to ask her what her condition is.\u201d<br \/>The Prophet said, \u201cO Fatima, what is your condition?\u201d<br \/>She said, \u201cThe condition does not concern Ali, but it is related to me. If that condition is fulfilled, I will accept. If not, I will never accept to marry Ali.\u201d<br \/>Again, the angel Gabriel (as) came to the Prophet saying, \u201cGod is ordering you to ask her what her condition is.\u201d Now look at what God had put into her heart and consider the benefit and station of women in spirituality.<br \/>The Prophet said, \u201cO Fatima, what is your condition?\u201d<br \/>She said, \u201cI hear you continuously, day and night, praying for your Community. You say, \u2018O my Lord! Give me permission to lead my Community to you! Forgive them! Purify them! Take away their sins and difficulties and burdens!\u2019 I hear you, and know how much you suffer for your Community. I know from what you have said that when you pass away, you will still be saying, \u2018My Community!\u2019 before your Lord, in your grave, and on the Judgment Day. My father, I see you suffering so much for your Community. Since that love of your Community is also in my heart, I want your Community as my dowry. If you accept, I will marry Ali.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She asked for all of the Prophet\u2019s Community, everyone without discrimination. What was the Prophet going to say? It was not in his hand to give such a dowry. He waited for Gabriel (as), but Gabriel did not come quickly. He kept him waiting for some time, then came and said, \u201cGod sends you His greetings and accepts Fatima\u2019s request. He gives her what she asked for as her dowry to marry Ali.\u201d The Prophet immediately stood up and performed two rak`ats of prostrations of thankfulness to his Lord.<\/p>\n<p>Fatima was only concerned for the salvation of the Community of the Prophet . No one is going to be outside of her dowry because if God removes one person from the dowry, it will be as if her marriage to Ali had been invalid. Therefore, she is going to take the entire Community under her wing and they shall enter with her into Paradise. This is from the power of one Muslim woman. She will take everyone with her into Paradise.<\/p>\n<p>What about other such women in Islam? What will their power be? What about saints? What about prophets? God has created human beings pure. He keeps them pure with such power as that of the Prophet , Abu Bakr , Umar , Uthman , Ali , and especially our grandmother, Fatima al-Zahrah , as well as our Grandshaykh, our Shaykh, and the masters of the Naqshbandi Order and other orders.

He kept him waiting for some time, then came and said, \u201cGod sends you His greetings and accepts Fatima\u2019s request. He gives her what she asked for as her dowry to marry Ali.\u201d The Prophet <img src=\"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/salla.gif\" alt=\"salla\" width=\"17\" height=\"18\" \/> immediately stood up and performed two <em>rak`ats<\/em> of prostrations of thankfulness to his Lord.\r\n\r\nFatima <img src=\"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/radiya.gif\" alt=\"radiya\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" \/> was only concerned for the salvation of the Community of the Prophet <img src=\"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/salla.gif\" alt=\"salla\" width=\"17\" height=\"18\" \/>. No one is going to be outside of her dowry because if God removes one person from the dowry, it will be as if her marriage to Ali <img src=\"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/radiya.gif\" alt=\"radiya\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" \/> had been invalid. Therefore, she is going to take the entire Community under her wing and they shall enter with her into Paradise. This is from the power of one Muslim woman. She will take everyone with her into Paradise.\r\n\r\nWhat about other such women in Islam? What will their power be? What about saints? What about prophets? God has created human beings pure. He keeps them pure with such power as that of the Prophet <img src=\"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/salla.gif\" alt=\"salla\" width=\"17\" height=\"18\" \/>, Abu Bakr <img src=\"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/radiya.gif\" alt=\"radiya\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" \/>, Umar <img src=\"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/radiya.gif\" alt=\"radiya\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" \/>, Uthman <img src=\"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/radiya.gif\" alt=\"radiya\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" \/>, Ali <img src=\"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/radiya.gif\" alt=\"radiya\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" \/>, and especially our grandmother, Fatima al-Zahrah <img src=\"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/radiya.gif\" alt=\"radiya\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" \/>, as well as our Grandshaykh, our Shaykh, and the masters of the Naqshbandi Order and other orders. May God guide us and all seekers in the Way of Divine Love and the Divine Presence.\r\n\r\n\u00a0","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3735","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3735\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naqshbandi.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
