In the name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful
“Surely We have given you
abundance
So pray to your Lord and sacrifice
Surely your enemy is the one who shall
Be without posterity”
BIRTH
The above verse was revealed in
honour of Fatima Al-Zahra also known by the name of al-Kauthar because of the abundance
that came from her.
Fatima
was born to Sayyida Khadija who was a deeply religious and pure lady. Khadija was the first wife of Prophet
Mohammad and the first woman to accept Islam. She was such a faithful woman that she gave all of her
wealth to her husband, Prophet Mohammad, in order that he has financial
security in the spreading of the Message.
Before her marriage to Prophet Mohammad she was
very much respected amongst the people of Quraysh, so much so, that they used to call her “The
Chaste”.
Prophet Mohammad was the father of Fatima and he
was the seal of Prophets. He was
born into a very dignified and noble family. From the moment he was born he shunned the idol worshippers
of Quraysh. He also stood out
amongst the youth of his time because of his honesty, trustworthiness and
excellent manners. Prophet
Mohammad was known to Quraysh as the “Truthful" and the “Trustworthy”. Therefore Fatima was born to
parents who were, “Chaste, truthful and trustworthy”.
Fatima was born in the holy city of Mecca on the
twentieth Jamadi Thani.
Fatima al-Zahra was conceived from fruits that came
from paradise. Imam al-Redha said
that the Prophet said, “On the night of my ascension to heaven, Jibrael
took my hand and lead me into Paradise, then he handed me dates from which I
ate; those dates were formed into sperm.
When I descended to Earth, I came unto Khadija who became pregnant with
Fatima…”
Khadija’s pregnancy went well, even though the
women of Quraysh were not talking to her and ignoring her because of her choice
of husband. Nevertheless Allah the Merciful does not forsake his faithful
subjects, so in order to fill the void left by the boycott placed on her by the
Qurayshi women Allah gave Fatima the power of speech from within the womb of her
mother. Khadija said, “One day the Prophet entered the house and found me
speaking to someone. He asked me
as to whom I’m speaking to. I
replied that surely that, which is in my womb, surely it speaks to me”. The Prophet then said, “Rejoice
Khadija, for this is the girl whom Allah has made to be the mother of eleven of
my successors who will come after me and after their father.”
When it came time to give birth to Fatima, Khadija
sent for some Qurayshan midwives to help her deliver. The midwives refused and said, “We will not help
deliver your baby because your husband is Mohammad.”
But again Allah
wasn’t going to let Khadija suffer
alone, so He sent four women to Khadija’s house. Their beauty and brilliance cannot be described. They had come to help Lady Khadija.
The first lady said, “I am your mother Eve.”
The second one said, “I am Asiya bint
Muzahim.”
The third one said, “I am Kaltham, Prophet
Musa’s sister.”
The fourth one said, “I am Mariam bint Imran,
Isa’s mother and we have come to help deliver your child.”
Fatima was then
born. Once Fatima was born Lady
Khadija nursed her herself and did not give her to a wet-nurse as was the
tradition.
Her
names
Fatima was known by nine different names of which FATIMA was the most special. Her names are:
1)
FATIMA: Imam al-Sadiq quoting his father said, “The
Messenger of
Allah said: O Fatima, do you know why you have been given the name
Fatima?”. Imam Ali Said: Why was
she named Fatima?”. The Prophet
replied: Because she and her followers (Shiites) are protected from the fires
of hell.”
2)
ZAHRA: She is called al-Zahra
because as Ibn Abbas narrates that the Prophet of Allah said: “Surely my
daughter Fatima is the Mistress of all women from the beginning to the
end. She is part of me, and the
light my eyes. She is the flower
of my heart, and is my soul.
Fatima is a human huri, who whenever she stands in prayers in the
presence of her Lord (Exalted is his name), her light illuminates the skies for
the angels, like stars shine to people on Earth.”
3)
TAHIRA: She is al-Tahira because Allah revealed in the Quran
the “Ayah of Purification”, “And Allah only wished to remove
all abomination from you, oh members of the family, and to make you pure and
spotless.”(33:33)
4)
MARDHIYA: She achieved this name and rank through her good deeds that
pleased Allah and made him well satisfied with her. “Return to your Lord,
well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him)
5)
SIDDIQA: The Arabic word ‘sidq’
means truth. Fatima was al-sidiqqa
because she was a truth-teller.
She never lied. Her deeds
comformed to her words. She never
lied because she was used to truthfulness. She believed in the commands of Allah and his Prophet,
without doubting at all.
6)
BATOOL: Fatima was purified in
the verse of purification, (33:33).
This meant that she was not only pure from sins but she was also
cleansed from impurities like childbirth bleeding and menstruation. It is narrated that Asma bint Umais
said: “When Fatima gave
birth to al-Hassan, she did not bleed.
She also does not have menstruation bleeds. When I informed the Prophet of Allah of this, he said: Don’t you know that my daughter is chaste. She does not discharge blood as a
result of childbirth or menstruation.”
7)
ZAKIYA: Fatima was pure and free from all sins so for that
reason she is called al-Zakiya.
8)
ATHRA’A: She was named al-Adra’a
because Fatima never lost her virginity.
The Prophet said, My daughter Fatima is a female huri.”
Explaining this Imam
al-Sadiq said, “Because (huris) are created from pure goodness where no
bligh can alter them, nor does senility inflict them…menstruation does not
pollute them.”
9)
MUBARAKAH: She was named al-Mubarakah
because abundant blessings came from her.
The most important was the blessing of eleven Imams whom she is the
mother of.
FATIMA
IN SURAT AL-INSAN
To have a verse revealed in the Quran in your
honour is one of the greatest privileges. Fatima not only had a verse revealed
in her honour, she had a full chapter.
That Chapter is called “al-Insan" or “al-Dahr”,
and it consists of thirty-one verses. In those thirty-one verses, Allah never mentions the huris
as a form of respect for Fatima.
Ibn Abbas said; “Once al-Hassan and al-Hussain were ill, the Messenger
of Allah and a group went to visit them. The visitors suggested to Imam Ali to
make a vow to Allah, if he were to relieve them (he would perform a good
action). Therefore, Imam Ali
together with Fatima and their servant Fidha vowed to Allah that they would
fast for three days if He would
relieve al-Hassan and al-Hussain.
When Allah had relieved them Imam Ali
borrowed three cubic measures of barley (aswu) from a Jew known as Shimon. Fatima ground one part of the barley
(sa’a) of the barley and baked five loaves of bread for her family’s meal at
sunset. As sunset approached, a
needy man knocked on the door and said: ‘Peace be upon you Family of
Mohammad. I am a needy man from
among the Muslims, feed me may Allah feed you from the food of Paradise.’ The holy family preferred the needy man
to themselves and spent the night with nothing in their stomachs except water.
They fasted the second day, and again at
sunset; when they were awaiting their food, an orphan asked them for help and
they again preferred him to themselves.
The third evening a prisoner of war asked them for help and they again
donated their food for this person in need.
The following morning Imam Ali took
al-Hassan and al-Hussain to the Messenger of Allah who when he saw them shaking
like little chicks from hunger said, ‘It displeases us to see you in this
condition.’
Then he went with them, for he wanted to see
Fatima. When they arrived Fatima
was in the praying niche (mehrab) and her condition was such that it further
displeased the Prophet. At this
time Jibrael descended and said: ‘Take this chapter Mohammad; Allah surely
congratulates you for having this family.”
This is the
Chapter revealed in honour of Fatima and her family and as a reward from Allah
for their charity:
In the name of
Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1
There
surely came over man a period of time when he was a thing not worth mentioning.
2
Surely
we have created man from a small life-germ uniting (itself): We mean to try
him, so We have made him hearing, seeing.
3
Surely
We have shown him the way: he may be thankful or unthankful.
4
Surely
We have prepared for the unbelievers chains and shackles and a burning fire.
5
Surely
the righteous shall drink of a cup the admixture of which is camphor,
6
A
fountain from which the servants of Allah shall drink; they make it to flow a
(goodly) flowing forth.
7
They
fulfill vows and fear a day the evil of which shall be spreading far and wide.
8
And
they give food out of love for Him to the poor and the orphan and the captive:
9
We only
feed you for Allah’s sake; we desire from you neither reward nor thanks:
10
Surely
we fear from our Lord a stern, distressful day.
11
Therefore
Allah will guard them from the evil of that day and cause them to meet with
ease and happiness;
12
And reward
them, because they were patient, with garden and silk,
13
Reclining
therein on raised couches, they shall find therein neither (the severe heat of)
the sun nor intense cold.
14
And
close down upon them (shall be) its shadows, and its fruits shall be made near
(to them), being easy to reach.
15
And
there shall be made to go round about them vessels of silver and goblets which
are of glass,
16
(Transparent
as) glass, made of silver they have measured them according to a measure.
17
And
they shall be made to drink therein a cup the admixture of which shall be
ginger.
18
(Of) a
fountain therein which is named Salsabil.
19
And
round about them shall go youths never altering in age; when you see them you
will think them to be scattered pearls.
20
And
when you see there, you shall see blessings and a great kingdom.
21
Upon
them shall be garments of fine green silk and thick silk interwoven with gold,
and they shall be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord shall make
them drink a pure drink.
22
Surely
this is a reward for you, and your striving shall be recompensed
23
Surely
We ourselves have revealed the Quran to you, revealing (it) in portions.
24
Therefore
wait patiently for the command of your Lord, and obey not from among them a
sinner or an ungrateful one.
25
And
glorify the name of your Lord morning and evening.
26
And
during part of the night adore Him, and give glory to Him (a) long (part of
the) night.
27
Surely
these love the transitory and neglect a grievous day before them.
28
We created
them and made firm their make, and when we please we will bring in their place
the likes of them by a change.
29
Surely
this is a reminder, so whoever pleases takes to his Lord a way.
30
And you
do not please except that Allah pleas; surely Allah is Knowing, Wise;
31
He
makes whom He pleases to enter into His mercy; and) as for) the unjust, He has
prepared for them a painful chastisement.
THE PROPHET AND
FATIMA
The Messenger of
Allah on many occasions showed the people the importance of Fatima and that she
was to be respected and that she was not any ordinary woman. She was in fact the Mistress of All
Women. For example after the verse of purification was revealed in honour of
his Ahlul Bayt, for six months, he would pass by Fatima's house and say:
"And Allah
only wished to remove all abomination from you Ahlul Bayt and to make you pure
and spotless." On other
occasions he would stand up when she arrived, kiss her hand then sit her in the
position he was sitting. The
Prophet would always say statements that were in her honour, amongst those
traditions are:
The Messenger of
Allah said to Fatima while holding her hand, "He who knows her, knows her, and he who does not
know her; she is a part of me, she is my heart and my spirit which is in my
side, thus he who harms her harms me."
He also said, "Fatima
is part of me. Whomsoever harms her, harms me and whomsoever harms me harms
Allah and whomsoever harms Allah, Allah will throw him into hell."
To acquaint the Muslims
with Fatima and her high rank, Prophet Mohammad said, "The best
women of paradise are Khadija daughter of Kuwailid, Fatima daughter of
Mohammad, Mariam Daughter of Imram (Mother of Isa) and Asiya daughter of
Muzahim, the wife of Firaun (pharaoh).
FATIMA’S SUPPLICATIONS
Fatima spent many
hours glorifying her Lord. She
also spent many hours asking Allah to grant the needs of the believers. She has many supplications of which the
most known to us would be ‘Dua’al-Noor’.
Salman Al-Farsi
narrates: ten days after the Prophet's death I went out of my house and on the
way I saw Imam Ali who said to me, "Salman have you deserted us after the
Prophet's departure". I said to him, "My beloved Abul Hassan, I can
never desert you, but my grieving for the Prophet has kept me from visiting
you. He then said to me,
"Salman go and visit Fatima for she misses you. She also wants to give you a gift from heaven that was given
to her.
Salman continues;
I rushed to Fatima's house and when I was given permission to enter I saw
Fatima sitting. She said to me,
"have you deserted us?". I said, "how can I desert you?". She said, "Sit down and listen to
what I say. I was sitting
yesterday thinking about how, after my father's departure from this world,
revelation along with the angels suddenly stopped descending to this
house. Suddenly the door opened
and three ladies whose perfume and beauty was bewildering entered. I stood up and said to them, 'are you
from Mecca or Medina?'. They said,
'O daughter of Mohammad we are not from Medina, Mecca or even from Earth. We are huris sent by our Lord to you
because we miss you dearly.'
I said to the
first one whom I assumed was the eldest, 'what is your name?'. She said, 'Maqdooda". I said, 'why have you been given that
name? She replied, 'because I was
specifically created for al-Miqdad bin al-Aswad, the Prophet's companion.'
I asked the
second one, 'what is your name?'
She replied, I am Dhara, and I have been created for Abu Dhar the
companion of the Prophet. The third
one said her name was Salma, and she was created for Salman al-Farsi, your
father's companion. They
then gave me dates that smelled sweeter than musk, and were whiter than snow. They were not like any dates I had ever
seen before.
Fatima then gave
me some of those dates and said that I should break my fast with them and come
back to her tomorrow with the seeds.
I took the dates,
and whenever I passed any of the Prophets companions they asked me if I was
carrying musk with me. When it was
time, I broke my fast, and found to my amazement that the dates did not contain
any seeds. The next day I went
back to her and told her that I had broken my fast with the dates that she had
gifted me and that I did not find any seeds. She said, 'O Salman and there will never be any seeds in
them because they are from palms that Allah had planted in Dar al-Salam in
honour of some words that were taught to me by my father which I recited every
evening.
I said, 'please
teach me those words'. She then
said, 'If you wish to avoid being inflicted with fever whilst you are in this
world, then you should regularly recite these words.
Salman then said
that she taught me these preventative words. They are:
“In the name
of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
In the name of
Allah, the Light. In the name of
Allah, the Light of Light. In the name of Allah who is Light
above Light. In the name of Allah,
who directs and controls all affairs.
In the name of Allah, who created light from Light. All praise is due to Allah who created
light from Light. And sent down
light on Tur, mentioned in the broad leaves of the guarded tablet, and on
Him. All praise is due to Allah,
who is spoken of with respect and who is famous for His Honour. And who deserves thanks both in happiness
and sorrow.
And may Allah
bless our Leader Mohammad and all his holy descendants.”
Some of her other
supplications are:
“O Allah!
Belittle me in my eyes and glorify and magnify Your status to me. And inspire me to be obedient to
You. And inspire me with deeds
that receive your satisfaction. And aid me in evading and shunning deeds and
actions that bring your wrath.”
“O Allah! Make me content with what you have
bestowed upon me. And till the end
of time conceal my transgressions and protect me from further
transgressions. Forgive me and
take mercy upon me when I die. O
Allah do not make me labour for that you have not preordained for me, and
facilitate all things that you have predestined for me."
"O Allah
reward my parents and all those who have been beneficent to me with the best of
your rewards. O Allah occupy me
with that which you have created me for.
And do not engross me with my own commitments. And do not torment me whilst I am asking forgiveness of you
and do not deprive me when I ask of you."
FATIMA'S HIGH
STANDARDS
Fatima al-Zahra
had knowledge and morals that were the same as her fathers. With regards to her knowledge, it is
related that she possessed a book that contained in it a vast amount of her
knowledge. That book is called
'Mashaf Fatima', and it was passed from one Imam to another. It is now in the possession of
Al-Mahdi.
Fatima did not
only gather knowledge for her ownself.
She also lectured others with this knowledge that was from the
Prophet. In fact, she persevered
very hard to spread this knowledge.
One of those taught by her was Fiddha, her maid. This lady for the last twenty years of
her life only spoke and answered people with verses from the Quran.
It is narrated
that a lady came and asked Fatima a question. Fatima answered her.
The lady continued to ask until her questions reached ten. After that the lady felt embarrassed
about asking more. She said, 'I
won't overburden you with more questions, Oh daughter of the Prophet.' Fatima answered saying, 'Ask anything
you wish for I heard my father say that the scholars from my people will on the
day of Judgement be bestowed with honours depending on the amount of knowledge
they possess and how much strain they exert in teaching the people.'
Besides the sea
of knowledge that Fatima possessed, there was her extraordinary worship of
Allah. Fatima would pray until her
legs swelled from standing. She
always prayed for the believers before praying for herself. In describing her worship Imam Hassan
said, "I saw my mother, Fatima, standing in her prayer niche. She kept praying, bending and
prostrating until day break. I
heard her pray for the male and female believers, mentioning them by name. She prayed so much for them, but didn't
pray for herself. 'Mother', I
asked her, 'why don't you pray for yourself as you are praying for others?' 'My
little son', she said, 'begin with your neighbour then yourself.'
Fatima also
helped further the cause of Islam on the battlefield against the infidels. She would clean the wounds of her
father, and when she was not needed, she would take full responsibility of the
household in order that her husband can continue to defend Islam.
Fatima had very
high standards. She was the
perfect daughter, wife and mother.
As a daughter she endured many hardships with her father at the
beginning of his mission. She also
helped clean him up on many occasions from the dirt the infidels threw on
him. She cared for him so much
that he called her 'the mother of her father', meaning that she cared for him
in the same manner that mothers do to their sons.
When Fatima was
married, she had a very simple lifestyle.
Fatima did all the housework and did not have a servant. She would grind her own wheat and clean
the house. The Prophet and Imam
Ali would help her when they were not busy. She worked so hard that one-day the Prophet cried when he
saw her grinding at the handmill.
He said to her, 'Fatima put up with the bitterness of this world today
so as to bask in the comfort of the next world tomorrow. Fatima replied, 'Praise be to Allah for
his favours, and thanks for His bounties.'
As a mother, she
cared for and brought up her children to be as she was, patient, generous and
forgiving, plus defenders of Islam.
Fatima while being a daughter, wife and mother always had sound morals
and always looked after her hijab and never had idol talks with foreign
men. The Prophet one day asked in
the Mosque what was the best thing for a woman. Imam Ali came to her house and asked Fatima the
same. She replied that the best
thing is that the woman does not see any foreign men or that she allows any
foreign men to see her. Imam Ali
went back to the Mosque and gave that answer to the Prophet. When the Prophet heard the answer that had
come from Fatima he said, 'May her father be a sacrifice for her. Naturally that is quite correct, she is
after all a part of my own being.'
There is also the
story of the blind man that came with the Prophet to Fatima's house. When they came to her house, she went
to get her hijab.
The prophet said,
'Fatima he is blind'. She said,
'Yes father he may not see me but I can see him.'
DEATH
After the
Prophets death, Imam Ali was deprived of the caliphate. He was also subjected to oppression by
the first two caliphs because he wouldn't pay allegiance. It was important that they get
allegiance from Imam Ali, so Omar went to Fatima's house and said, "Come
out and pay allegiance to Abu Bakr".
Imam Ali refused saying that he was busy putting the Quran together. When Ali refused to come out, Omar
ordered that the door of the house be burnt and forcibly opened. Fatima who was without hijab ran behind
the door to protect herself. Omar
pushed open the door, and when he realised that Fatima was behind it he pushed
it harder squashing her between the door and the wall. This broke her rib and caused her to
miscarry the baby she was pregnant with.
These injuries
caused her to become very sick and in the end was the cause of her death.
Fatima told Imam
Ali before she died that she wanted to be buried at night so that those people
who oppressed her don't walk behind her coffin. Imam Ali buried her at night then stood up, turned his face
towards the Prophet's grave and said: "Oh Messenger of God! I offer salutations to you on my own
behalf and on you daughter's. She
has come to be your neighbour. She
will be resting in you vicinity under the dust. The Almighty Allah has arranged a quick reunion betweem you
both. O Messenger of Allah! I have lost patience because of
separation from your beloved daughter.
I put up with the shock of being separated from you. I repeat the same attitude now with
this new separation. I laid you to
sleep in your grave. The
separation of your soul from your body came about when your body was resting
between my chest and neck. The
command of the Holy Quran suffices me: 'Verily we are Allah's and verily unto
him is our return.'
Fatima al-Zahra
breathed her last breath on the 3rd Jamadi al-Thani.
DAY OF JUDGEMENT
On the Day of
Judgement Allah will show to All the people the great honour in which Fatima is
held. He will allow her to
intercede for her followers and those who love her. She because of that honour can ask forgiveness for them,
thus allowing her to proceed with them into paradise. It is narrated by Jabir al-Ansari that on that day after the
Prophet and the Imams deliver their speeches, Jibrael will call out, 'Where is
Fatima the daughter of Mohammad.'
Fatima then rises. Allah
then says, 'Oh People of the gathering, to whom does honour belong today?' "So Mohammad, Ali, Hassan and
Al-Hussain will say: 'To Allah, The One, and The Almighty." Allah the Exalted will say: "O
People of the gathering: lower your heads and cast your eyes down, for this is
Fatima proceeding towards paradise.
Jibrael shall then bring her a female camel from the female camels of
Paradise; its sides shall be embellished, its muzzle with fresh pearls, and it
shall have a saddle of coral. It
shall kneel down in her presence; so she will ride it. Allah will then send one hundred
thousand angels to accompany her on her right side; and one hundred thousand
angels to accompany her on he left side; and one hundred thousand angels to
lift her onto their wings until they bring her to the gate of Paradise. When she is near the gate of Paradise,
she will look to her side." Allah
will then say: "Daughter of my beloved, why did you look to your side
after I gave the command that you enter My Paradise?' She will say:
"My lord, I wished that my position would be realised on such a
day!" Allah will say, "Daughter
of my beloved! Go back and look
for everyone in whose heart was love for you or for any of your progeny; take
their hand and lead them into paradise!"
Imam al-Baqir
said, "By Allah Jabir, she will pick her Shiites (followers) and those
who love her, just like a bird picks good seeds from bad seeds. So that when her Shiites are near the
gate of Paradise, Allah will inspire their hearts to look to their sides; when
they do, Allah the Almighty, will say: My beloved one, why did you look around
when Fatima, the daughter of my beloved one, interceded for you. They will answer Our Lord! We hoped that our position would be
known on such a day!
"Allah
will then say: My beloved ones go back and look for everyone who loved you for
your love for Fatima. Look for
everyone who fed you for the love of Fatima. Look for everyone that clothed you for the love of
Fatima. Look for everyone who gave
you a drink for the love of Fatima.
Look for everyone who prevented backbiting from being done against you
for the love of Fatima…. Take their hands and lead them into Paradise…"
Ziyarat fatima
There are many
visitations (Ziyarat) for Fatima, but the one we have chosen is one that has
been proven to give relief from hardships. Many have cited that after reading this ziyarah, their
problems were solved by the will of Allah of course:
Peace be upon you who
were tried; Allah who created you tried you before he created your (flesh); He
found you patient with that which he tried you with.
We claim that we are
your followers, believing in you, and
(believing and) bearing with everything that has been brought unto us by
your father, and that which his successor brought unto us.
Therefore, we beg you
(now that we believe) to make us join both of them so that we may rejoice at
being purified for following you.
Peace be upon you O
daughter of the Messenger of Allah; Peace be upon you O daughter of the beloved
of Allah;
Peace be upon you O
daughter of the friend of Allah;
Peace be upon you O
daughter of the sincere friend of Allah;
Peace be upon you O
daughter of the trusted (Messenger) of Allah;
Peace be upon you O
daughter of the best of Allah’s creatures;
Peace be upon you O
daughter of the best of Allah’s Prophets, Messengers and Angels;
Peace be upon you O
daughter of him who is the best of all creature;
Peace be upon you O
wife of the friend of Allah and the best of creatures after the Messenger of
Allah;
Peace be upon you O
mother of al-Hasan and al-Husain, who are the masters of the youth of paradise;
Peace be upon you oh
gratified and accepted one;
Peace be upon you O
well mannered and chaste one;
Peace be upon you O
human huri; Peace be upon you and pure one;
Peace be upon you who is
spoken to by angels and who is knowledgeable; Peace be upon you O oppressed and
usurped one; Peace be upon you O repressed and defeated on; Peace be upon you O
Fatima daughter of Allah’s Messenger; and may the blessings and mercy of Allah
be upon you and upon your soul and body;
I bear witness that
you have perished while fully knowing your O pious Lord.
(I also bear witness)
that he who gladdens you, gladdens the Messenger of Allah, and he who deserts
you, deserts the Messenger of Allah; he who harms you harms the Messenger of
Allah; he who bestows you (with favour) bestows (a favour) upon the Messenger
of Allah and he who deprives you deprives the Messenger of Allah.
(That is) because you
are “part of him and his spirit which lies in his sides”
Allah, his Messenger
and His Apostles are my witness that I accept him whom you accept, resent him
who you resent; I exonerate myself to Allah from him who you exonerate your
self to Allah from him, hold as my friend those who you befriend, hold as my
enemy those who you hold (as your enemies), and dislike him.
Allah is the best
witness, the best Anticipated One, best Rewarder, and Most Bountiful
All praise is due to Allah
The Lord of the Worlds
