Hawzah News Agency – A group of Shia Muslim scholars in the UK announced a joint statement regarding the film made about the life of Hazrat Zahra (SA)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
Dear Believers,
Salaamun Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,
The Holy Prophet PBUH said: Fatima (SA), leader of all women of the universe. Saheeh Muslim Vol. 4 P 1904
Her Eminence Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra (as) is a very dear and beloved personality for all Muslims. She is the most esteemed and Ideal lady, who is a role model for all Muslims, men, and women. Despite her short life, she had a profound impact on all people around her and left behind a magnificent legacy.
She is an icon of faith, patience, chastity, and sincerity. Her life is a testament full of support for the Seal of the Messengers, Prophet Muhammad (saw), and the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (as). Lady Fatima (as) nurtured the best children and set the perfect example for all to follow.
In recent weeks, it has come to our attention that some people have made a film about her life. Although we are unaware of the contents in detail, we wish to inform all our community members that anything that causes friction and disunity between Muslims is against our faith and not in line with the Fatwas of our honorable Maraje. We, therefore, urge all Muslims that any scenes depicting the holy personalities of other Muslims that may cause sectarian conflict is not representative of the Shia faith.
We pray for the safety of all faithful people across the globe.
