Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

HI!
wanted to know how hazrat Zahra(sa) the doughter of rasulullah(sawa) passed away..or became Shahid?

iv heard some ppl attacked her home..and she was pregnant and kicked her between door and the walls..who were those ppl who attacked her home and fired that door.. 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Death of hadrat Fatima(r.a.)

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

The historians of Muslim History are unanimous in their records that the beloved daughter of the Prophet (saws), Hadrat Fatimah binte Mohamed (r.a.) died a natural death only six months after the demise of her father (saws) in Madinah.

Your Question: ……iv heard some ppl attacked her home..and she was pregnant and kicked her between door and the walls..who were those ppl who attacked her home and fired that door.. 

Almost a hundred years after the death of the Prophet (saws) and Hadrat Fatimah (r.a.), some unscrupulous people who had their own personal and political agendas, invented many lies and fabrications to revile and abuse some amongst the noble companions of the Prophet (saws) to further their own political aspirations…..and it is they who invented such absolutely false and baseless stories which would gather sympathy for their political cause.

Even in the world and age we live today, it would be difficult to imagine that people who were once close friends with a person would come and attack his surviving children in their very homes immediately after his death……how conceivable and comprehensible would it be that the very people who were blessed to be the companions of the Noble Prophet (saws) and had graduated from the ‘University of the Prophet (saws)’ would ever even contemplate or allow such a thing to happen!

Rest assured sister, that these are no more than self-invented and absolutely baseless stories and imaginations of evil minds, and these supposed incidents have absolutely nothing to do with the truth or reality!

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
