Islam Guidance

Lady Khadija (S.A) is a perfect role model for all the Muslims all over the world. The sacrifices made by her and her contributions for spreading Islam are innumerable. Her famous title was Malikat-ul-Arab.
The biggest virtue of lady Khadija (S.A) is that Allah (S.W.T) acknowledged her sacrifices and revealed the following verse for her when She (S.A) have all the wealth to Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P):
"And when we found you in need, we made you needless"
[Sura 93 (Zuha): Verse 8]
Some virtues of lady Khadija (S.A) are mentioned below:
1- Lady Khadija (S.A) got the title "SAYYIDATU NISA-IL-AALAMEEN" before her holiest daughter lady Fatima Zahra (S.A). [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
2- Lady Khadija (S.A) was on the path of Islam (Sharia of Ibrahim) before the Be'sat of Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) & the proof is her marriage. [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
3- Lady Khadija (S.A) did not have any idols at her palace nor was she seen worshipping any idol by any Arab. [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
4- Aisha said: The best way to make Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) happy is to talk about Khadija. [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
5- Lady Khadija (S.A) was amongst the best women of the world, such as herself, lady Fatima (S.A), lady Maryam (S.A) & Asiya (S.A). [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
6- She was the richest holy women ever born. She had uncountable riches. She had around 80000 camels which were taken on hire by all Arabs for business trip to different parts of the world. [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]
7- Khadija (S.A), Daughter of Khuwaylid, is one of the wealthy persons among Quraysh and her trade activities extend to Egypt and Ethiopia. [Ref: Bihar ul Anwar, Vol 16, Pg. 22]
8- Once lady Khadija (S.A) sent "Maysara" a slave with the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) for the business trip to Syria to know more about the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P). When lady Khadija (S.A) enquired from Maysarah about the incidents related to the journey of the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) he narrated to her the miracles which he had seen from him and also what he had heard from the monk of Syria. Khadija (S.A) felt excessive emotion within herself, which had its origin in her interest in the spirituality of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H&H.P) and she said to Maysarah involuntarily "Maysarah! That will do. I hereby set you and your wife free and also place at your disposal two hundred dirhams, two horses and a costly dress. [Ref: Hayat Al-Qulub]

Imam Ali (A.S) and Fatima (S.A): The best of marriages - the Marriage & Family Life of Ali (A.S)

The tragedy of Fatima (S.A) - narrated backwards
By: Nouri Sardar

Abi Abdullah Jaafar bin Mohammad (A.S) said:
One day my father (Imam Mohammad bin Ali Al-Baqir (A.S)) said to Jabir bin Abdullah, "I need to see you privately."
So when my father was alone with Jabir he said. "Tell me about the tablet that my mother, Fatima (S.A), had."
Jabir said:
Allah is my witness that I went to Fatima (S.A), daughter of the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H&H.P) to congratulate her on the birth of Hussain (A.S). I saw a green tablet in her hand made of green aquamarine. There was some writing on it with a light that was brighter than the sun and (the tablet) smelled better than musk.
I asked Fatima (S.A), "What is this tablet, O daughter of the Messenger of Allah?"
She replied, "This tablet is a gift from Allah to my father. It contains the names of my father, my husband, and the names of his successors from my sons after him."
I asked her to give it to me so I could write a copy of its contents, and she accepted.
Then my father (Mohammad bin Ali (A.S)) asked Jabir, "Can you show me the copy you made?"
Jabir replied, "Yes."
Then Jabir went to his house and brought back a piece of paper with him.
My father said to him:
Look at your copy to see (if) what I say (matches your copy). This is what was written on that tablet:
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful. This is a letter from Allah, the most Honorable, the most Knowledgeable, which was sent with the guardian spirit to Mohammad, the last of the messengers.
O Mohammad! Glorify my names, be thankful for my grace, and do not deny my blessings.
Do not desire anyone but me and do not fear anyone but me, because those who desire anyone but me or fear anyone but me will be punished in a way that I have never punished anyone else from all of the worlds.
O Mohammad! I have chosen you from amongst all of the prophets and I have given preference to your successor above all of the successors.
I have made Hassan the container of My Knowledge after the time of his father, and (I have made) Hussain the best of the sons from the first to the last, and through Hussain the Imamate will continue.
Ali, the beauty of the worshippers, will remain from Hussain, and then (it will be) Mohammad, the one who rips open My Knowledge, the one who will invite (people) to my path through the right methods.
Then (it will be) Jaafar, the truthful in his speech and his actions, after whom there will be a deafening conspiracy.
Woe and more woe unto those who deny my slave and the best of my creation, Moses!
Then Ali, the pleasant, will be killed by a pagan daemon, and he will be buried in the city that was built by the righteous slave, next to the worst of Allah's creation.
Then Mohammad (will come), the guide to my path, the one who safeguards my sanctity, and the one who will leave Ali behind.
Ali will be the one with two names (Ali and Naqi).
After him, Hasan, the honorable, will lead his people.
And after him his son. Mohammad, will rise at the end of time. There will be a white cloud over him to offer him shade from the sun. He will speak with an eloquent language and his voice will reach everyone and everywhere. He is the Mahdi of the family of Mohammad and he will fill the earth with justice, just as it is will be filled with injustice.

الحسين بن محمد الاشعري، عن معلى بن محمد، عن الوشاء، عن أبان بن عثمان، عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي عبد الله قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (عليه السلام): إن الله عز وجل من علينا بأن عرفنا توحيده، ثم من علينا بأن أقررنا بمحمد (صلى الله عليه وآله) بالرسالة ثم اختصنا بحبكم أهل البيت نتولاكم ونتبرأ من عدوكم وإنما نريد بذلك خلاص أنفسنا من النار، قال: ورققت فبكيت، فقال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): سلني فوالله لا تسألني عن شئ إلا أخبرتك به، قال: فقال له عبد الملك بن أعين: ما سمعته قالها لمخلوق قبلك، قال: قلت: خبرني عن الرجلين؟ قال: ظلمانا حقنا في كتاب الله عز وجل ومنعا فاطمة صلوات الله عليها ميراثها من أبيها وجرى ظلمهما إلى اليوم، قال - وأشار إلى خلفه - ونبذا كتاب الله وراء ظهورهما

Narrated al-Husain bin Mohammad al-Ashari, from Mualla bin Mohammad, from al-Washa, from Aban bin Usman, from Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Abdillah who said,
I said to Abi Abdillah Imam Sadiq (A.S), "Allah blessed us with the recognition of His monotheism (Tawheed), then He blessed us with the belief in Muhammad's (P.B.U.H&H.P) message, then He distinguished us with your love the Ahlul Bayt (A.S). We love you (Tawallah) and dissociate (Tabarrah) from your enemy. We want that so that we may save ourselves from the Fire."
Then, the man became weak, and began to weep. So Imam as-Sadiq (A.S) said, "Ask me, for by Allah, you will not ask me about a thing except that I will inform you about it."
The man said, "Inform me about the two men (referring to Abu Bakr & Umar)."
The Imam (A.S) replied, "They oppressed our rights, which are in the Book of Allah, and they prevented Fatima(S.A) from her inheritance from her father. Their oppression has continued until today" - then he pointed to his back - "and they have hid the Book of Allah behind their backs."

Complete Question
Considering the enmity towards Imam Ali (A.S) and Lady Fatimah (S.A), why has Imam Ali’s (A.S) grave been revealed after some time, while Lady Fatimah’s (S.A) is still missing?

Concise answer
The reason for why the grave of Imam Ali (A.S) was concealed for a while was the fact that ignorant and abusive individuals, who were enemies to him, would possibly disrespect his grave. Later on though, after time had passed and the abovementioned individuals had passed away, in addition to the growing strength of the school and teachings of the Ahlul-Bayt, the possibilities of such a matter lessened. Moreover, since the grave was located in between reeds and the desert, no one was certain even about its approximate whereabouts, causing the people not to be able to visit it and from its great blessings and bounties. These factors caused the imams to show the grave to their true followers and slowly, it became known to all over the years and as the Shia became stronger.
As for why Lady Fatimah (S.A) had ordered for her grave to be concealed, it was because this was a form of protest and making her voice heard that she objects to what has taken place regarding the caliphate and successorship of the Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P). Therefore, as long as the Muslim nation doesn’t believe in what she believes in regarding the Prophet’s successorship, which results in the deprivation of the Muslim nation of many true Islamic teachings, the reason for the concealment of her grave will remain.
Another point is that the concealment of her grave is a strong barrier that doesn’t allow the falsification of the history of early Islam, preventing people from totally denying her stance against the situation that had come up regarding the caliphate. The issue of her grave is a sign for those in search of the truth, guiding them across the sea of evil and corruption to the shore of salvation, unveiling the truth and completing Allah’s (S.W.T) proof regarding it.
Of course, since the approximate coordinates of her grave have been mentioned, people can benefit from the areas close to her grave.
What was said, were only a few points that are supported by different clues and evidence, but that doesn’t mean that these are all of the reasons, meaning that there are possibilities that there are other secrets behind this matter that might be unveiled in the future.
