Synopsis

Fatima, daughter of the Prophet of Islam, did not enjoy this life for long and passed away only few days after the demise of her father. She was not sick; rather, grief and sorrow snatched his soul away. This book sheds light on certain historic circumstances as well as on the individuals who were bitter enemies of her husband, Ali ibn Abu Talib, and who were jealous of his merits and accomplishments. The author wrote this book initially in response to another written by someone who cast doubts about certain very serious and shameful facts which the author of this book details. He cites numerous references (more than three hundred and fifty) written by historians and biographers from both branches of the Islamic faith and throughout the Islamic history. One who reads this book with an open mind will conclude that Fatima died prematurely, and that, ironically, those who were responsible for her early death have since the very first Islamic century been glorified by the vast majority of the Muslims, that even the whereabouts of her grave remain unknown, something which she herself desired and planned. Who were those people? Why did they disrespect the "Head of the Women of the World," the mother of the two masters of the youths of Paradise and wife of the Prophet's right hand, the people who even confiscated her inheritance from her revered father? This book answers all these questions and many more.
