إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
A Shi'a Ithna Ashari community promoting the life, virtues, stature and struggles of Sayyidah Fāṭimah az-Zahrā (s.a.) — the leader of the women of the worlds.
Who she was
The daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w.), the wife of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (a.s.), and the mother of al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn (a.s.) — praised in the Qurʾān, described by her father, and mourned by the followers of the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) for fourteen centuries.
Raised in the house of revelation, she was the only biological daughter of the Prophet (s.a.w.w.) and Sayyidah Khadījah (s.a.), according to the Shi'a sources. He would rise for her when she entered, take her hand and seat her beside him.
She stood with ʿAlī (a.s.) through poverty, persecution and exile. Their home became the household of the cloak — the Ahl al-Bayt of the Verse of Purification, whose purity Allah Himself has testified to.
After the passing of her father she endured the loss of her rights, the attack on her house, and the loss of her unborn child, Muḥsin. She passed away young, and her grave remains unknown — as she wished.
Ayaam-e-Fatima (S.A.) is a volunteer-run, non-profit community organisation. We gather to remember the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w.), the wife of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (a.s.) and the mother of al-Ḥasan and al-Ḥusayn (a.s.) — to learn from her life, to mourn the wrongs she endured, and to carry her example into our own homes.
Through the year, and especially during Ayyaam-e-Fatimiyyah, we hold lectures, mourning gatherings and majalis. Every programme is open to all, free of charge, and streamed live for those who cannot attend in person.
Ayyaam-e-Fatimiyyah
Majālis, lectures and gatherings held through the days of the anniversary of her martyrdom. Doors open thirty minutes before every session, and admission is free.
The opening gathering of Ayyaam-e-Fatimiyyah. An introduction to the station of Sayyidah Fāṭimah (s.a.) in the Qur'ān, in the words of the Prophet (s.a.w.w.) and the Imāms (a.s.), and in the hearts of the believers.
A close reading of Qur'ān 33:33 alongside the Ḥadīth al-Kisā' as transmitted in al-Kāfī, Biḥār al-Anwār, and the tafsīr of al-Mīzān — and what the event of the cloak reveals about the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.).
The Khutbah al-Fadakiyyah — the most celebrated sermon of Sayyidah Fāṭimah (s.a.), preserved in al-Iḥtijāj of al-Ṭabarsī — its context, its eloquence and its lasting lessons for the community.
An interactive evening for ages 12–25: short talks, a quiz, and an open discussion on courage, modesty, service and standing for what is right — following the example of Sayyidah Fāṭimah (s.a.).
