Hawzah News Agency- In a recent address, the prominent Shia scholar emphasized that the worship of Hazrat Zahra (PBUH) was not merely ritual practice but a profound immersion into the grandeur of the Almighty. “Fatima Zahra (PBUH) would become so deeply absorbed in the magnificence and majesty of God during her prayers,” Ayatollah Javadi Amoli stated, “that her breaths would be counted. Her entire being was overtaken by the awe of the Divine.”
According to the Ayatollah, this state of spiritual ecstasy and fear of God reflected a level of sincerity unmatched by ordinary human capacity. “The subtle movements in her prayer were not from distraction, but from the intense reverence and humility she felt before God.”
A Light for the Angels
The Grand Ayatollah also referenced a narration from the Holy Prophet (PBUH) that further illustrates the exalted spiritual rank of his daughter. According to this narration:
“When Fatima (PBUH) stands in her prayer niche, she shines like a radiant star before the angels in the heavens. God addresses His angels, saying: ‘O My angels! Look upon My best servant, Fatima. She stands before Me with her entire being trembling out of fear of Me, and her heart fully present in My worship.’”
(Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 43, p. 172)
This narration, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli noted, is not merely symbolic. It represents the true spiritual station of Hazrat Zahra (PBUH), whose prayers elevated the very atmosphere of the heavens.
The Pinnacle of Servitude
From the viewpoint of Islamic spirituality, Hazrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH) embodies the perfect model of servitude to God. Her worship encapsulated complete submission, absolute sincerity, and unwavering presence of heart—qualities that have set the standard for all seekers of God’s path.
The Ayatollah explained that her devotional practices were inseparable from her character, knowledge, and moral excellence. “Fatima (PBUH) was not only the embodiment of purity and knowledge but also the manifestation of complete servitude. Her worship was a map of how humanity can rise from limitation toward divine proximity.”
A Timeless Model for Humanity
Scholars describe Hazrat Zahra (PBUH) as the eternal model of human perfection—an example for women and men alike. Her spiritual elevation is recognized not only in her private worship but also in her role as a daughter of the Prophet (PBUH), a supportive wife to Imam Ali (PBUH), and a nurturing mother to the Imams Hassan and Hussein (PBUT).
Her life, detailed in works such as “Fatima, the Model of Humanity”, shows that true greatness stems from purity of intention, steadfastness in faith, and closeness to God.
Conclusion
Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli’s reflections remind the Muslim world that the worship of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH) is not simply a historical narrative but a living spiritual legacy. Her luminous prayers, trembling in awe before her Creator, and her radiant presence in the heavens stand as a powerful, timeless guide for all who seek the path of God.
