Lives and teachings of the Infallibles AS
سیرت معصومینThe blessed life of Lady Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon her) proves that an ideal Islamic personality’s leadership is not confined to battlefields or seats of governance. It can also reshape history through intellectual reasoning, economic justice, and political resistance. Her character remains an eternal model for staying firm upon principles and standing for truth across all ages.
سیرت معصومینLady Fatimah al-Zahra (peace be upon her), the beloved daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny), was created from the Divine Light long before the creation of Adam. Her purity, strength, and virtues reflect those of the Prophet himself, except for prophethood. Allah chose her as the sacred vessel to carry and protect the light of Wilayah (Divine Guardianship). Through her immense sacrifice, she preserved Prophethood, Imamate, and the Oneness of Allah (Tawheed), ensuring that the true message of Islam remained alive for all generations.
سیرت معصومینThis article mentions a few narrations from the popular book (Fatima (PBUH) the Great Daughter of the Prophet Muhammad SAWW) written by a well known scholar of our time known as "Shikh ul Islam" Dr. Tahir ul Qadri. This article only includes just a few of the narrations for the sole purpose of remembering the greatest of all the women and a role model for the Muslim ummah.
سیرت معصومینImam Jafar Sadiq (a.s.) heard about a man who was a follower of Allah and a man of great virtue. When the Imam (a.s.) saw him, he realized that he stole and gave things as charity. When the Imam (a.s.) asked, he argued that the reward for a bad deed is one, and the reward for a good deed is tenfold. The Imam (a.s.) said: “Allah accepts only the deeds of the pious.” Both theft and giving charity without permission are sins. Goodness is that which is accompanied by piety and righteous intentions. This incident teaches that the real value of an action lies in the intention and piety, not in the outward worship. Reference: Pand Tarikh Vol. 4, p. 141; Ganjinah Maarif Vol. 1, p. 310
سیرت معصومینAbu Amir’s story teaches that even those who await and prepare for a Prophet or Imam can be corrupted by ambition and desire for status. While his efforts guided many to faith, his personal greed turned him into an enemy. This serves as a lesson that sincerity and devotion must surpass worldly desires.
سیرت معصومینImam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) was a great Islamic scholar and the fifth Imam of the Ahl al-Bayt, renowned for reviving the true teachings of Islam. He excelled in Qur’anic commentary, jurisprudence, hadith, and theological debates, offering clear rational proofs for core beliefs. Through hundreds of students, including Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq, his vast knowledge spread across generations. For his unmatched scholarship, he is honored as “Baqir al-Uloom,” the deep ocean of knowledge.
سیرت معصومینNow, Umm Salama was there too, and naturally, she wondered if she could join them under the cloak. The Prophet, with kindness, told her that she was on a good path but wasn't part of this select group, the Ahl al-Bayt.
سیرت معصومینImam Ali, a revered figure in Shia Islam, is celebrated for his unparalleled bravery in battles and profound wisdom, embodying a unique fusion of courage and knowledge.
