On the special respect due to the wives of the Holy Nabi,
who are regarded as the Mothers of the Believers,
and to his Blessed Daughter Fatiman, radhiyAllahu Anha.
by Al-Ghawth al-A'zam Sheikh Abdul-Qadir al-Jilani (r.a.)

We (Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jama'at) hold a good opinion of all the wives of the Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim). We firmly believe that they are the mothers of the Believers (Ummahat al-Mu'minin), and that A'isha (radhiyAllahu Anha) is one of the most excellent women in the entire universe. Allahu Ta'ala has declared her completely innocent of the charges brought against her by the renegades, as we read in the Holy Qur'an:

"They who spread slander are a gang among you..." [23:11]
and
"They are liars in the sight of Allah." [23:13]
and as people will go on reading until the Day of Judgement.

   It is likewise true of Fatima (radhiyallahu Anha), the daughter of our Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim), that she is one of the most excellent women in the entire universe. It is incumbent upon us to regard her with loving care and affection, just as this is incumbent upon us with respect to her father (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim).

   As the Nabi (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) has told us:

"Fatima is a piece of me. I am troubled by anything that troubles her."
