ISLAMABAD: The death anniversary of Hazrat Fatima (RA), the esteemed daughter of the beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), was commemorated on the third of Ramadan, in keeping with tradition.
According to Kashmir Media Service, a ‘Majlis Waaz-o-Tableeg’ was organized at Aastana e Aaliya Naqshband Sahib in central Srinagar under the leadership of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, senior leader of APHC, to pay tribute to her and honor her lasting legacy. .
Mirwaiz emphasized that Hazrat Fatima’s life embodies the pinnacle of virtue and serves as an exemplary model of behavior in her role as a woman, daughter, wife and mother. Her life is indelibly etched in the hearts of the Ummah, she especially inspired the women of our community, he said.
Mirwaiz emphasized that her marriage is a testament to the Islamic principle of simplicity, which is in stark contrast to today’s prevailing trends of lavish weddings, which unfortunately burden many families in Kashmir.
“This emphasis on extravagance has hindered the marriage of countless daughters and deviated from the lightness and modesty that Islam advocates,” he added.
“We should take a lesson from her life and the path she shows us, which is to strive for simplicity, especially in wedding ceremonies, and to reduce undue pressure on families.
This approach builds character and reinforces true Islamic values that prioritize spiritual bonds over material display and extravagance,” Mirwaiz pointed out.
Mirwaiz said that Hazrat Fatima (RA) is a symbol of womanhood in Islam who shows how a daughter, wife and mother should behave in their daily life.
“She was devoted to her father, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), supported him when he faced hardship at the hands of the unbelievers of Makkah, and was an exemplary wife and the most loving mother of her children. She handled her household duties with integrity, shared the household chores with her maid Fizza, epitomized humility and partnership,” he said.
“Today, as we remember Hazrat Fatima and commemorate her figure, let us pledge to embody her virtues in our lives and pave the way for a community that upholds the principles of simplicity, compassion, dignity and care.
May her legacy inspire us to improve and support each other in the spirit of Islamic brotherhood and sisterhood,” Mirwaiz told the devotees.
