Fatima al-Zahra (sa) is arguably the holiest lady in Islam not because she was the daughter of the Prophet but for her own spiritual attitude and personal achievements. Revered by all Muslim persuasions, she is only comparable to highly esteemed women in history like Mary mother of Jesus. Although she did not live long life, her spiritual impact on Muslim history and culture is long lived. The present book explores the life and times of Fatima (sa) in a chronological order and with a novel approach.
Supplications (Du`a) Paperback
£7.00In the present volume, the famous ‘Du’a Kumayl’ takes pride of place, a supplication that is recited every Thursday evening in countless mosques throughout the Muslim world, a practice that goes back several centuries.
A careful reading of this and the other prayers given here does more to evoke the sense of the spirituality underlying the Shi’a tradition than many formal treatises and expositions; they serve to enliven one’s sense of what it means to be immersed in a tradition dominated by the towering figures of the Ahl al-Bayt,(‘People of the Prophetic Household’).
