Fatima The Gracious

Chapter 13: Ar-Radhiah

Accepting what Allah ordains for one's self, is considered an excellent degree of belief in Allah-Glory be to Him. Throughout her difficult life, Lady Fatima az-Zahra (sa) was delighted with whatever Allah Almighty ordained for her. In fact, this book specializes in discussing the inflictions and disasters, which befell Fatima az-Zahra (sa) from the day she was born until she was martyred at a young age. During the difficult stages of her life, Fatima az-Zahra (sa) was content with the fear, oppression, deprivation, poverty, sorrows and pains, which Allah had ordained for her.

Therefore, Fatima is worthy of being included with those mentioned in the verse:

"To the righteous soul will be said: O (thou) soul, In (complete) rest and satisfaction! Come back to thy Lord.--well pleased (thyself) and well pleasing unto Him!" (79: 27-28)

Because she [Fatima az-Zahra (sa)] is satisfied with Allah's rewards, and grants to her, and is satisfied with Allah's will in this world, He has become well pleased with her.
