Fatima: The Flower of Life

This is an excellent place to start for anyone looking for an accessible and introductory biography of Lady Fatima (Peace Be Upon Her). The major events of her life are summarized in sequence, and the events which transpired following the passing of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) between the Prophet’s family and their opponents are described in sufficient detail for the reader to comprehend the magnitude of their impacts to the Muslim ummah after the Prophet Muhammad and, thereafter, the passing of his daughter Lady Fatima.A bibliography listing the primary sources used by the author is included and much appreciated.Consider this book a must read. I read it alongside the author’s other book — ‘Ali: Elixir of Love’. I would like to emphasize to anyone who’s read either book but not both to read the other — these two books combined offer significant insight and inspiration for sincere readers to continue to learn and hopefully (inshaAllah) build on their knowledge.

A truly great book to read ! Easy to read but also deep and eloquent.

I recommend this book highly, as it gives detailed stories, narrations and sermons from the Ahlulbayt, including Bibi Fatima AS, which we don’t see often ( or I have not at least, which made me appreciate it even more).
