Visitation to Lady Fatima Zahra (S.A.)
It is reported that Lady Fatima (S.A.) said:
"My father said to me: 'He who prays on your behalf, Allah, Exalted and Glorified is He, shall forgive him and make him join me wherever I may be in Paradise."
For this reason, and to benefit the dear readers of this book, we include her visitation here and accompany it with the English translation. (This is the visitation mentioned in Mafatih al-Jinan (The Keys To Paradise)):
In the name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Gracious
Peace be upon Muhammad and his Progeny
O 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 (P.B.U.H.)
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.
(It is recommended to add here)
Peace be upon you O daughter of
the Messenger of Allah;
Peace be upon you O daughter
of the Prophet 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 creatures;
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-Hassan and Al-Hussain,
who are the masters of the
youth of Paradise;
Peace be upon you the truth-
teller (devoted one) and martyr;
Peace be upon you O 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 O pious 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 one;
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 Lord.
(I also bear witness) that he
who gladdens you, gladdens the
Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.)
he who deserts you, deserts the
Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.)
he who harms you, harms the
Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.)
he who bestows you (with a favor),
bestows (a favor) upon the
Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.) and
he who deprive you, deprives
the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.)
(This is) because you are "part
of him and his spirit which lies
in his sides."
Allah, His Messengers and His
Apostles are my witnesses that
I accept him whom you accept,
resent him who you resent;
I exonerate myself to Allah
from him who you exonerate
yourself to Allah from, him
who you be friend, hold as my
enemy those who you hold (as
your enemies), and dislike him
who you dislike.
Allah is the best Witness, the
best-anticipated One,
best Rewarder, and most Bountiful.
(It is recommended to pray on behalf of the Prophet and his
progeny after this visitation.)
ALL PRAISE IS DUE ALLAH
THE LORD OF THE WORLDS.
