Section I: Islamic History 8 Grade 7 History
Chapter 1: Biography of Fatemah Zahra (SA) Looking back in history, most if not all the human societies considered women unimportant and irrelevant when it came to political and social events. Men were physically more aggressive therefore they dominated the society. Women were property of men. They could be purchased, mistreated, or killed just like animals. This view was strongly challenged by the Prophet of Islam. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) portrayed a woman as a human who has just the same social rights and freedom as a man. He held that view and acted upon it to the last day of his life. Unfortunately as much as he tried to change the ignorant, old views that were held by human cultures for centuries, many Muslim societies up to this date still treat women badly and not in accordance with Islamic laws. That is why when imperialism raised the slogan of women’s freedom many women embraced it without having a real understanding of what it meant. Freedom that Western Imperialism offered allowed a woman to work in any kind of job, wear any kind of clothes, and behave in any manner that she liked. In other words she could hold jobs that were traditionally held by men. This was called freedom. Of course if a woman was driving a truck and was away from her home for days, she could not attend to the needs of her family but that was also freedom, free from family responsibilities! The woman who used to be the slave of an ignorant, superstitious society now became slave of a greedy imperialistic society. Her previous condition was bad and her present condition is even worse because previously she was physically slaved and now she is mentally slaved. Before she knew that she had no freedom, now she thinks she is free where indeed she is a slave of a commercialized society that utilizes her as a commodity to feed its infinite appetite. Knowing all this, to escape both ways of life we need to understand real laws and codes of conduct for Muslim women. Have we ever had women in our history that we can use as a role model? The answer is “Yes” we have had a few very good role models such as: Lady Khadijah (S.A.), Fatemah (S.A.), and Zainab (S.A.). From being a businesswoman to politician they bravely walked through territories that were forbidden to women in their time. Each of these ladies performed an incredible role in their own time and left a remarkable print in history. Here is a brief life history of one of them. Our Lady of Light was born on Friday the 20 th of Jammadi Ussani. She was named Fatemah meaning separated and that is because her followers are separated from Hell because of her. She had many titles and nicknames the most famous one being Zahra means luminous. Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said:” When Fatemah prayed, she shined for the Heavens as the stars shine for people on earth.” Grade 7 History 9
