"Let my death not dishearten you, you have to serve Islam and humanity for a long time to come, and let not my sufferings embitter your life, please promise me Ali."

Ali promised. For Fatima... the Flower of Life. 🥀

This is the third book I have read now by Jalal Moughania and I really enjoy how he brings early Islamic history to life and adds emotion to the figures we have grown up hearing about. There were many elements of the life of Bibi Fatima that I was unfamiliar with so feel like I learnt a lot in an engaging way. The chapters were pretty short so it was easy to read. It actually made me cry a little towards the end too. 🌹🤍

So beautifully well written. I felt so connected as I was reading completely forgot everything else. This writing style was done so well here. The only the I’d say is I wish the references for the ahadith were at the bottom of the page in small writing then at the end of the book. But apart from that it was immensely insightful.

Not recommended
There aren't any proper references for the events and most of the events are really really odd

I read this book because I wanted to learn more about Fatima. I mean this book showed me a great insight about the life Fatima lived, how she lived etc.
But honestly, the one thing that stops me from recommending this book is the fact that there are many many events (where I had my doubts while reading about them) of which I found no authentic hadith. Or no proper reference.
I did my researches and found then out that many of the parts in which I was doubtful actually come from Shia traditions or Sufi virtue literature.
