Fatemah (peace be upon her)
By Shah Nazar Seyed Ali Kianfar, Ph.D.
Many books have been written and published about the life of Hazrat Fatemah. The latest addition to this list, Fatemah, written in Persian, is the result of research by Shah Nazar Ali Kianfar, a Sufi master of our time. Utilizing extensive research, Dr. Kianfar discusses the status of women in the monotheistic religions. Providing a picture of the time, Dr. Kianfar shows how, after the death of her father, Fatemah, only a young girl, demonstrated exceptional courage and bravery, and for the first time in history revolted against the ruthless rulers of sixth century Arabia by defending women's rights.
The author has put together his research with a deep recognition and genuine knowledge about Islam and the life story of Fatemah. Without a doubt, he has clarified many religious questions. This book is strongly recommended not only to women of all faiths, but to anyone interested in understanding women's rights in the context of religion.
