Bani Adam has been made superior, therefore, Allah Says:
Before the beginning of Ba’asat-e-Nabawi, in the days of
ignorance woman was considered the symbol of shame and the
cause of humiliation and defame and she was even considered
a shame and this shame should be buried in earth. In those
days, one camel cost was greater than many girls. In that
dark era, Rasool-e-Akram (SAAW) was sent to honour human
beings, give respect and dignity to woman in the shape of
Islam that is a complete code of life and dominates every
department of life, preaches peace and tranquillity,
supports the oppressed and the poor, is against oppression
and brutality and condemns all types of biases. It has
declared Zuhd-o-Taqwah as the standard of human supremacy
and has settled new Asaas for the survival and eternity of
mankind that took the woman to the new heights with the
blessings of Fatima’s (S.A.) presence. Today, the
personality of woman, courtesy Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.) is
touching the mirage of its heights. Quran and Ahadees
carried the supremacy Fazeelat (good qualities) of woman.
Kuffar-e-Quresh and Arab tribes that were averse of
Hazoor-e-Akram (SAAW) were happy that Hazoor-e-Akram (SAAW)
has no son. Allah dismantled their happiness for ever by
honouring the Rasool-e-Akram (SAAW) with a daughter like
Fatima (S.A.). The enemies of Allah when heard that the
newborn is a daughter expressed their happiness but Allah
told Muhammad (SAAW) that:
There is a saying of the Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) that goes:
Allah declared every Nabi’s Zuriyyat from his Sulb while my
Zuriyyat has been declared in the Sulb of Ali (A.S.) and
Fatima (S.A.). Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.) was brought up in
the lap of Paighambar-e-Islam and Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra
(S.A.), and achieved knowledge from this spiritual Maktab.
She was declared a complete example for the world of
womenfolk. The Khatmi Martabat (SAAW) gave the title of Umme
Abiha (mother of her Baba). Her home is the Danishgah of
honour and dignity in which personalities like Hassan (A.S.),
Hussain (A.S.), Zainab (S.A.) and Kulsoom (S.A.) were
brought up and their deeds are the beacons of light for the
world of humanity in every era. Hazrat Zehra (S.A.) used to
help the injured in the battlefield, used to do her house
chores herself when at home, used to grind wheat. In other
words, she used to do all her work herself besides taking
care of orphans, the poor and the prisoners.
Hazrat Fatima (S.A.) is the biggest worshipper in the world of worshippers, biggest follower of Shariat in the world of Shariat and the world is unable to present such a personality.
Her greatness could be gauged from the fact that her Baba
Muhammad (SAAW) is the Sardar of Anbia, mother Khadija
(S.A.) is the Malkia of both the worlds, husband Ali (A.S.)
is Sher-e-Khuda about whom Hazrat Umar had said I would have
been killed if Ali (A.S.) would have not been there, sons
are Hassan (A.S.) and Hussain (A.S.), daughters are Zainab
(S.A.) and Kulsoom (S.A.) who shattered the Yazidi courts
with their heart-rending khutbaat. Aulad-e-Nabi (SAAW), Ali
(A.S.) and Zehra (S.A.) are the beacon of light for all
movements of independence throughout the world including
Kashmir, Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere for
the last 1400 years. Looking at the holy life of Hazrat
Fatima Zehra (S.A.) would reveal that she shared the woes of
Holy Prophet (SAAW) equally in Shoeb-e-Abi Talib for three
years, bore the grief of Wafaat of Hazrat Abu Talib (A.S.)
and Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra (S.A.) along with her Baba
(SAAW), remained with her to bear the brunt of Hijrat, was
along with the Holy Prophet (SAAW) in his journeys and wars
to encourage him. The Holy Prophet (SAAW) said about her:
She equally participated in the grief of
Amm-e-Rasool Hazrat Hamza’s Shahadat. She accompanied her
Baba (SAAW), her husband (A.S.) and sons (A.S.) in Mobahila
with Nasara-e-Najran. On the Wafaat of Rasool-e-Akram (SAAW)
she said:
The golden sayings of Khatoon-e-Jannat Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.) are the invaluable beads of wisdom and intelligence. There is a saying of her (S.A.) that goes: I like three things in your world i.e. recitation from Holy Quran, Ziarat of Rasool’s (SAAW) face, and spending in way of Allah (reference: Nehjul Hayat). There is another saying of her (S.A.) that goes: The best woman is the one who do not see the Na-Mehram and Na-Mehram could not see her. When the world of Shariat was grieved on the Wisaal of Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW), wailing and grieved was being expressed all around, the grief of Hazrat Zehra (S.A.) in this situation was totally different. She used to shed tears throughout the night and from morning to evening, the separation from Baba (SAAW) was a great shock and a heavy test of her forbearance. The result of this fatal shock culminated in her death after a few months. The daughter of Muhammad (SAAW) left this world forever. The live nations keep the signs of their Mashaheer intact rather they leave no stone unturned in the respect but alas! The will of the Rasool (SAAW) was: Hold the daman of Quran and Ahle Bait (A.S.) that provides guarantee that you would not be misled. But Quran has been placed in the rakes and the Roza-e-Qudsia of the first personality of Ahle Bait Fatima Zehra (S.A.) was razed to ground. Jannatul Baqee and Jannatul Moallah are raising the voice of protest but the Muslim Ummah is unmoved. In this situation, how can we demand restoration of Al-Quds Al-Sharif from Zionists and that of Babri Masjid from Hindus? How can we protest against the desecration of Quran, blasphemous activities and humiliation of Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar, publication of blasphemous images, publication of blasphemous pictures and similar films? The Muslims would have to keep their hands and daman clear, first. At present, Muslim Ummah is surrounded by the international colonial powers from all around; Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmir and Palestine have been given a blood bath; terrorism has become the order of the day in motherland Pakistan; and this all is the result of keeping away from Quran and Ahle Bait (A.S.). The Muslim Ummah would have to reconstruct the holy shrines of Paighambar-e-Islam (SAAW), Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.), Ummahatul Momineen (R.A.) and pious Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.), particularly that of Bint-e-Rasool Khatoon-e-Jannat Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.) and get their dignity restored if she desired to save herself from destruction. Otherwise, the Muslim Ummah should get ready to face more woes. As a poet says:
Wassalam,

(Definitely,
We have given honour to the offspring of Adam and took them
in dry and watery (through animals and boats) channels and
gave them good things to eat and gave them reasonable
supremacy over other creatures) – Surah Bani Israel Ayah 70.
Rasool-e-Akram (SAAW) and his Ahle Bait Athaar (A.S.) have
been declared the most renowned amongst all Bani Adam and on
the basis of its devotion with Khanwada-e-Ahle Bait (A.S.)
has been declared Ajr-e-Risalt. 
(I
do not ask any compensation (work of Risalat) except
devotion with my Ahle Bait). The Rasool (SAAW) gave the
highest regard to Hazrat Fatima Zehra (S.A.). Many Kamil Al-Iman
are found amongst men but there are only four from womenfolk
who enjoy this honour i.e. Hazrat Aasia Binte Mazahim,
Hazrat Maryam Madar-e-Eisa, Hazrat Khadija Binte Khwailad,
and Hazrat Fatima Binte Muhammad SAAW (reference:
Tafseer-e-Kashaaf/Tafseer-e-Baizavi. About Hazrat Maryam,
Allah Says: . . . and (second example) Imran’s daughter
Maryam who kept her chastity intact, so we put Our soul in
her and she upheld the Sayings of Allah and His Books and
she was amongst the sincere persons (Surah Tehreem, Ayah
12).
Oh,
Muhammad! No doubt, We have blessed you with Kausar (mass
offspring), so offer prayers of your Allah and give
sacrifice. No doubt, your enemy is worst. Today, no part of
the world is without the presence of offspring of Ali (A.S.)
and Fatima (S.A.). As a poet says:
(Surah
Dahr). Owing to house chores and grinding the wheat, her
scalps became rough on which the Rasool-e-Khuda (SAAW) gave
Tasbih to his beloved daughter which is called Tasbih-e-Fatima
even today and is the solution of all problems.
(If
Ali A.S. would not had been there, then there was no
parallel to Fatima A.S.). She accepted the match of Hazrat
Ali Ibne Abi Talib (A.S.) for herself. Then she supported
him in every moment of relief and grief.
(Oh,
Baba! The woes me Fatima had to suffer, had these inflicted
on days they would have been turned into black nights). She
participated in every work till she lived in Khana-e-Ali.
She passed away after 95 days of Wisal-e-Paighambar. The
lesson of sacrifice taught by Hazat Fatima Zehra (S.A.) of
her offspring could be gauged from an incidence narrated by
Hazrat Imam Hassan (A.S.) that: Madar-e-Garami (S.A.) when
stood up at the place of worship and remained busy in
worship till morning. She was praying to Allah for Mominaat
and Momineen but did not seek anything for herself. When she
finished, I asked, Madar-e-Garami you pray for other people
and did not seek anything for your self. She replied, Oh, my
son! Dua is for neighbourers first. This lesson of sacrifice
given by Hazrat Zehra (S.A.) to her son is the beacon of
light for mothers and sons the world over, even today. As
the Poet of the East says:
