Fatimah binte Asad (Arabic: فاطمه بنت اسد) was the mother of first Shi’a Imam Ali bin Abu Talib, and the mother-in-law of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed's daughter, Fatima Zahra binte Muhammad. Her grandsons, second Shi’a Imam Hassan ibn Ali and third Shi’a Imam Hussain ibn Ali are to be the leaders of the youths of Paradise. Besides first Shi’a Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib, she had three other sons, Ja'far ibn Abu Talib who was a famous General (he led the forces of Islam in the battle of Mu'tah, during which he was killed), Talib ibn Abu Talib, and Aqeel ibn Abu Talib.

When the Islamic Prophet Mohammed grew up and proclaimed himself to be the Prophet and Last Messenger of Allah, she still stood by him. All the relentless persecution did not deter her in any way. She was exceptionally fond of her son Ja'far, but for the sake of Islam she bore the separation from him and his wife, Asma binte Umais, when they migrated to Abyssinia on the Prophet's orders with the first group of migrant Muslims. This article needs cleanup. ...


Fatimah binte Asad, being one of the first to swear allegiance to Islam and its concept of the Oneness of Allah, faced the economic and social boycott of the Shi'a Abu Talib for those three terrible years. She was also a member of the privileged group who migrated to Medina. For other uses, see Allah (disambiguation). ... Medina (Arabic: ‎ IPA: or المدينة IPA: ; also transliterated into English as Madinah) is a city in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia. ...


Shaiba ibn Hashim who was a very discriminating man, had assessed her nature, her intelligence and her capabilities from the very beginning and proposed for her for his son, Abu Talib. When the Islamic Prophet Mohammed was told by Allah to spread the Message of Islam among his kith and kin, it was she who immediately accepted this invitation and swore allegiance and entered the fold of Islam. When the Islamic Prophet Mohammed’s grandfather, Shaiba ibn Hashim, died, the guardianship of the orphan the Islamic Prophet Mohammed passed on to Abu Talib ibn Shaiba ibn Hashim. His wife, Fatimah binte Asad, looked after him, loving him as if he were her own. He remembered in his later life that she would go hungry to feed him. He respected her so highly that whenever she visited him he would stand up and receive her with great love, addressing her as 'Mother'.

His uncle, too, loved him deeply. the Islamic Prophet Mohammed in his childhood was so well mannered and so fastidious about his personal cleanliness that Abu Talib would hold him up as an example to his other children. Normally boys would be dirty and tousled from playing rough games with the other boys, but the Islamic Prophet Mohammed was always dignified with a neat appearance. People were impressed when they saw him. Abu Talib liked all the children to eat together because he felt that whenever the Islamic Prophet Mohammed ate with other children, food would be sufficient, and when the children ate alone, they would remain hungry. Abu Talib often told his nephew that he was specially blessed, as there was plenty when he was around.


Fatimah binte Asad did not spare any pains and looked after the Islamic Prophet Mohammed in his infancy, boyhood and youth. Once in his childhood he accompanied his uncle on a business trip to Syria. Some very unusual and surprising incidents took place on the journey, and Abu Talib described these to his wife when they came back.


The Islamic Prophet Mohammed placed the invitation to a religion with a new and rational perspective before the Quraish and because of that the worshippers of all the false idols in the Kaaba were angry. They could not dream that the Islamic Prophet Mohammed would dismiss their gods as useless helpless creatures, and they became his bitter enemies for propagating a new faith that did away with their traditional and inherited practices. They adopted a very antagonistic attitude and swore to crush him and Islam. During this period they resorted to the most cruel and sadistic forms of torture to make the converts give up the new faith and return to their old barbaric practices and rituals. It was only the power and influence of Abu Talib that prevented them from doing any harm to the Islamic Prophet Mohammed. He stood by him with all his love and carried out the responsibilities of a guardian faithfully by giving him his protection. No enemy could dare to do anything to him as long as he was under the mantle of his uncle's protection. Picture of the Kaaba with Muslim pilgrims performing Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) The Kaaba (Arabic: ‎ translit: ), also known as al-Ka‘abatu’l-Musharrafat ( ‎), al-Baytu l-‘Atīq ( ‎ The Primordial House), or al-Baytu’l-Ḥarām ( ‎ The Sacred House), is a large cuboidal building located inside the mosque known...


Fatimah binte Asad cooperated with Abu Talib wholeheartedly and she was a mother, pure and simple, where the safety and well being of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed was concerned. No wonder he loved and respected her so highly. Considering the dangerous conditions which developed for the Muslims in Mecca, he thought it was better that the Muslims migrate to Abyssinia where the ruler was known to be tolerant and hospitable. The leader of this first group of migrants was Ja'far bin Abi Talib, the brother of Ali ibn Abu Talib, and the favorite son of Fatimah binte Asad. She loved him more than the others because he resembled the Islamic Prophet Mohammed very much, and was extremely intelligent.


He seemed to have inherited the family's mastery over language and was also an eloquent speaker who could win people over to his viewpoint. It was with this same skill that he had won over the king of Abyssinia when the Quraish appealed to him to surrender the Muslims to them.


The Quraish now decided to restrict the Muslims to one small area, besiege them and boycott them. Social and economic sanctions were imposed, and these three years were perhaps the toughest that the followers of Islam faced. Economically, it was certainly the worst ever. Children could be heard on all sides sobbing with hunger, and the elders looked on helplessly with tears in their eyes. To satisfy their hunger they started eating the leaves of trees and grass; they even sucked on wet skins to slake their thirst. Fatimah binte Asad passed this terrible period with fortitude and patience, and did not waver in the smallest degree. Ten years after the first revelation to the Islamic Prophet Mohammed appointing him the Messenger of Allah, this harsh siege was finally lifted. It was in the same year that the Prophet's wife and most faithful supporter, Khadijah binte Khuwaylid, died. The pangs of separation from her were very strong for the Prophet. He had not yet recovered from her loss, when he was dealt another terrible blow - his best ally, Abu Talib, also died. This year is known as "The Year of Sorrows" in Islamic history. Quraish (Arabic: ‎ translit: ) is the Meccan tribe that the Islamic prophet Muhammad belonged to before he received the revelations of Islam. ... Khadijah bint Khuwaylid or Khadija al-Kubra [1] (Arabic: ‎ ) (555 or 565 [1] or 570 to 619 or 623 [1]) was the first wife of the Prophet Muhammad. ...


The torture and torment, atrocities and cruelties reached such proportions that Allah finally ordered the Prophet to migrate to Medina. Fatimah binte Asad was among these migrants.

"So patience is most fitting. And it is Allah whose help can be sought against that (lie) which you describe." (12:18)

Anas bin Malik says that when the Prophet got news of the death of Fatimah binte Asad, he immediately went to her house, sat beside her and prayed for her.

"My dear mother, may Allah keep you under His Protection. Many times you went hungry in order to feed me well. You fed me and clothed me on delicacies that you denied yourself. Allah will surely be happy with these actions of yours. And your intentions were surely meant to win the goodwill and pleasure of Allah and success in the Hereafter."

He gave his shirt to be used as part of her shroud, saying he prayed to Allah to forgive her and give her the dress of Paradise. When the grave was prepared the Islamic Prophet Mohammed himself examined it and with his own hands placed her into the grave. Thus, she was one of the few blessed people whose graves the Islamic Prophet Mohammed himself examined. Fatima binte Asad is buried in Jannatul Baqi cemetery in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. Jannat al-Baqi (also spelt Jannat ul-Baqi) is a famous cemetery in Madinah, located right across from the Masjid al-Nabawi. ... This article is about the Saudi city of Medina. ...
