Imam Hassan (as) said “On the Friday night I saw my mother Fatima (as) standing in her arch of prayer. She was continuously kneeling and performing prostration till the dawn broke. I would hear her pray for the faithful men and women, but she did not pray for herself at all. I said ‘Oh mother why did you not pray for yourself like you prayed for others?’ She replied ‘Oh my son, first your neighbor and there after your own house.”[i]

Lady Fatima (as) said “The book of Allah is the guide of its followers towards the pleasure of Allah. Listening (carefully) to it leads to the salvation. The enlightened and clear evidences and proofs of Allah can be obtained through it. And (also the knowledge) of His interpreted intentions, fear invoking constraining prohibitions, His sufficing testimonies, conspicuous arguments, desired virtues, allowed endowments, gifts and obligatory divine laws.”[i]

Lady Fatima (as) said “Oh the servants of Allah! Beware! The real leader from Allah, is present among you and the commitment has previously been made to you and the remaining and left over of the prophet hood has been appointed for your guidance. That is the speaking book of Allah the truthful Quran a beaming light in which all the secrets and facts about the completion of man and his prosperity have been exhibited and illuminated. It guides from darkness towards the light of guidance. Its followers are the subject of envy of others.”[i]
