Accordingly, for review Biography of Hazrat Zahra, peace be upon him, in social interactions With Hojjat al-Islam Yaori We had a conversation with the professor of the field and the university, the result of which you can read below:
Hojjat al-Islam Yavari, professor of the field and university, in a conversation with Mehr reporter, referring to the social life of Hazrat Zahra (pbuh), said: Hazrat Zahra (pbuh), as the daughter of the Messenger of God and the guiding model of the Islamic society, paid special attention to the society in her lifestyle. had While interacting with the people, he tries to regulate the collective behaviors and interactions of the people in his social actions, while paying attention to God’s pleasing behavior in the interaction with the people. Therefore, we observe some things in the social life style of that Prophet.
He listed the explanation of the value of social behaviors as one of those cases and said: Paying attention to the reform of the Islamic society, with the aim of regulating the social behaviors of Muslims, was one of the most important actions of Hazrat Zahra during her lifetime. Reciting Islamic teachings and emphasizing these commands as a social value in Islamic society was one of his most important activities. In such a way that he had a pamphlet containing the social manners and attributes of believers from the Messenger of God, which he considered the value of its contents to be equal to that of Imam Hassan and Imam Hussein.
Hazrat Fatemeh Zahra (PBUH) tries to regulate the collective behavior and interactions of people in her social actions while paying attention to God’s acceptable behavior in interacting with people.
This university professor continued: Hazrat Fatima (PBUH) considered mercy to be a blessing in society, and in order to promote and improve the behavior of Muslims in social relations, especially good manners with people, they quoted from the Messenger of Allah: “The best people are those who Dealing with others should be softer and kinder and be kind and forgiving towards your wives. He also narrated a tradition in which the Messenger of God considered the worst people in society to be those who are “immersed in blessings; they eat colorful foods; They wear flamboyant clothes and take trouble in talking to people.
Yavari stated: To achieve her goals, Hazrat Fatima also reminded the audience of the sacred view that governs social behaviors; In other words, he promoted religious teachings as a religious culture among the society; As they narrated a story from the Messenger of Allah to the people, in which respecting the dignity of the neighbor, not bothering each other, respecting the guest and remembering the good deeds of the people were mentioned as a sign of faith. He narrated another narration from the Messenger of God, which was related to the observance of social ethics: “He who is not safe from his neighbor is not a believer; God loves tolerant and chaste people and does not like bad-mouthed, miserly and foolish beggars. Modesty is a sign of faith and the place of faith is heaven; Cursing is one of the works of bad language and the place of such people is fire.
Modesty and good nature are prominent traits in the social history of Hazrat Zahra (PBUH).
He called Hazrat Zahra’s humility and good manners with people as another method of his social interaction and stated: Humility, good manners and attention to honoring people, especially household servants, were among the other prominent traits in Hazrat Zahra’s social life. According to a report, in order to solve the problems and hardships of Hazrat Zahra’s life, the Holy Prophet chose a servant named “Fiza Nuwaibia” to help her with her household chores. One day Rasulullah saw that the servant was resting and his daughter was working. The Holy Prophet asked his daughter the reason for it. Hazrat Zahra replied: “I divided the housework fairly. One day I work and the next day it is the servant’s responsibility.”
This professor of the seminary considered socializing with people as one of the other things and said: Hazrat Fatima was attached to the ideals of the Islamic society and in order to realize all its goals, she gave up some of her rights and fulfilled all the relevant duties. Communication with relatives and family, different strata of society, especially women, Ansar and Muhajire, paying special attention to the needy and answering people’s scientific questions were part of Hazrat Zahra’s social behavior. In the meantime, paying attention to the simple life and active social presence of a woman, in a society where she was an ordinary citizen and women had no social position, created a fundamental change in the social structure based on ignorance.
Yavari continued: Hazrat Fatemeh was present with her father and husband in various social scenes according to the needs and values, observing Islamic modesty and hijab, and she ordered the believers to be open to each other. His godly ethics in relation to people was such that he was always a pioneer in greeting people like his father and he gave special care to his neighbors and sometimes he sent them food.
He added: Paying attention to different groups, the needy, neighbors and other sections of the Islamic society, was indicative of Hazrat Fatimah’s correct and accurate understanding of the society of her time. In explaining the people’s attention to each other with the aim of meeting their needs, he said: “The worst people in the Ummah are those who only think about colorful food and clothes and worldliness.” Hazrat Zahra’s social activities or actions in relation to society’s issues were such that she ordered people to meet each other and have good manners with the aim of getting to know Islamic behavior and achieving happiness. And the believing men, especially the neighbors, prayed. He used to participate in the funerals or burials of some women in Medina and would go to their houses to offer condolences to the mourning neighbors.
This professor of the seminary and university stated the emphasis on social justice as another material and said: Another important focus in the social life of Hazrat Zahra is the emphasis on the issue of justice; Because after the death of the Messenger of Allah, the flow of Saqeefah moved against the path of Islam and justice and fairness were violated. In Fadakiyeh’s sermon, that Imam emphasized that God has made justice a source of peace among people and obliged them to act according to it, so that hearts harmonize with each other and unite. In other words, that Imam was of the opinion that in addition to sovereignty, every single person should move in the path of justice and treat himself, family and society based on justice so that its cultural and civilizational effects can be seen in the Islamic Ummah.
The right is to be taken
Emphasizing that trying to regain the right or seeking the right was the most important point in Hazrat Zahra’s thought and social behavior, Yavari said: He taught everyone that the right is something to be taken, and in this way one should even sacrifice one’s life. Because if the right-seeking thought does not turn into behavior, the oppressors will always be based on oppressing the people and usurping their rights. Therefore, that Prophet stood in front of the usurpers of his right and the caliphate of his wife, Amir Mominan Ali, and addressed the flow of Saqeefah and the people of Medina, saying: “O group of Naqba, O arms of the nation and protectors of Islam!” What is this neglect of my right and neglect of my lawsuit for?! Didn’t my father, the Messenger of God, say: Everyone’s dignity is preserved in his children? “How quickly you have committed these ugly acts and violated our rights.”
He added: One day, one of the believing women entered into a conversation with a woman who was an enemy of Ahl al-Bayt and defeated her. That believing woman was very happy and came to Hazrat Fatima and told the story and said: “With my words, I was able to neutralize the propaganda of the enemy and reveal the truth.” That woman who defended falsehood was very upset and was ashamed and humiliated by her followers. Hazrat Fatima said to that believing woman: “Know that the angels were more happy than you when you saw that woman’s distress; Know that Satan’s sorrow was greater than his sorrow.
This faculty and university professor considered attention to poverty alleviation or helping the needy as one of the prominent traits in the cultural life of Hazrat Zahra and noted: in such a way that the verse of “Atama” regarding this behavior was revealed to that Hazrat. Based on his generosity and selflessness and with the aim of removing deprivation and getting closer to the Lord of the Universe, every year he distributed the Fadak income, which reached 24,000 dinars, among the poor of Bani Hashem, the emigrants, and the Ansar, and only an amount was left for them to meet the necessary expenses of life. stays
Yavari continued: According to the evidence in the historical and hadith sources of the parties, there are many examples of Hazrat Fatima’s attention to the needy and fulfilling their needs. He was very forgiving and generous, even in difficult situations when he sometimes had nothing to eat and his face turned yellow from hunger. For example, he even sold the necklace that Amir Mominan Ali had prepared for him and freed a slave with it. In another report, Imam Hasan and Imam Hussain sent the necklace, earrings and curtain that he had just bought to the Messenger of God to help the Companions of Safa. When the Messenger of God saw this forgiveness from his daughter, he said three times: “Sacrifice the fathers: May her father be sacrificed for her.”
He continued: According to another report, the Holy Prophet gave the necklace that was a gift from Fatima, the daughter of Mr. Hamzah, to a poor person, and Mr. Ammar bought that necklace from the poor person and returned it to the Prophet along with a slave. He also took back the necklace, but freed the slave. In another report, an old man went to the house of Hazrat Siddiqa Tahira and expressed his need; Even though he was in need and did not have much at home, he made him happy by giving him a gift.
This university professor added: Hazrat Zahra’s way of helping others was such that if Amirmoumnan Ali invited a guest or a hungry person to his house, he would not raise an eyebrow. Therefore, he immediately obeyed his wife’s request and considered feeding others as sacrifice in the way of God. According to a report, one day the Amirmomenan of Ali asked to invite a hungry person to their home. Therefore, they asked Hazrat Zahra about food. He said: “O Ali, – unfortunately – there is not much food in the house, except for a child’s food.” “We will sacrifice tonight and leave the food for the guests.” What Hazrat Zahra did pleased the Messenger of Allah and God Almighty. One day a poor man came to Amirmoumnan Ali. He sent one of his children to Fatima to send one dirham out of the six dirhams they had at home to that poor person. Even though Hazrat Fatimah had kept this money aside for the preparation of flour, trusting in God, she gave all those six dirhams to her husband and charity was given.
