THE FOUNTAIN OF PARADISE: FATIMA ZAHRA IN THE QURAN

The only living and perpetual miracle of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family – the Qur’an – not only speaks about previous nations, their prophets and messengers, and other important personalities such as Luqman the Wise and Mary the mother of Prophet Jesus, but hidden deep within its vast ocean of verses are numerous direct and indirect references to the noble family of Prophet Muhammad – the Ahlul Bayt.

His beloved daughter, Fatima Zahra, peace be upon her, has been directly referred to in numerous verses and chapters of the Qur’an, and when these verses are examined in the light of the authentic Prophetic narrations (ahadith) to better gleam their interpretation, we see how the Book of Allah confirms her pre-eminence and ever-lasting spiritual luminance.

This book, Fountain of Paradise, contains the exegesis of three chapters of the Qur’an: Suratul Insan (also known as Suratul Dahr), Suratul Qadr, and Suratul Kawthar, which refer to Fatima Zahra, peace be upon her.

Through reviewing these powerful passages, the reader will realize the importance of the Ahlul Bayt in general in our daily lives, and more specifically, the greatness of the Leader of the Women of all Times – Fatima the daughter of Muhammad, peace be upon both of them.
