“And command the Muslim women to keep their gaze slightly low, and to protect their chastity, and not to reveal their adornment except what is apparent itself, and to keep the head-covering wrapped over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment.”^[1]

Dear Islamic brothers, a woman plays a major role in the waywardness and rectification of society. For example, if the woman is righteous and modest, then these qualities will be transferred to her children too. Therefore, instead of adopting impermissible fashion trends and attending places of indecency, she should take lessons from the pure lives and character of the blessed wives and daughters of the Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , particularly the Queen of Paradise, Sayyidatuna Fatima al-Zahra  رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا . In doing so, sisters should make a habit of remaining veiled, for these were the blessed individuals who became embodiments of modesty due to remaining in the company of the Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .

The modesty of the noble Prophet’s most beloved daughter, Sayyidatuna Fatima  رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا , is particularly worthy of imitation. Let us listen to a faith-refreshing account that demonstrates her impeccable modesty.

The modesty of Sayyidatuna Fatima رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا  

After the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم departed from this world, Sayyidatuna Fatima رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا was overcome with such grief that a smile was not seen on her face, and she was only seen to have smiled once before her departure from this world. The detail to this is that as Sayyidatuna Fatima رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا managed to protect herself from the eyes of unrelated men throughout her life, she was concerned at the possibility of people’s gaze falling upon her shroud-covered body after she passes away.
