Sayyida Fatimah al-Zahra: How to be Heavenly on Earth

  • Our brief study of the life of the leader of the women of the Ummah on earth and in the celestial realm focuses on how to connect with her rank and emulate her in our daily lives.
  • But to do this, we need a sound way of understanding her life story.
  • What framework of understanding do we apply to find what we need from the events in her life?
  • What are some of the events in her life that we can directly relate to in our time?
