Bismillah al-Rahman al-Raheem
God,
please bless me with a true love for Sayyida Fatima.
I want to love someone who is not a Prophet, yet the Prophet loved beyond any historiographical doubt.
Someone who is not a Prophet, but is in the highest stations of Your Heaven without any possibility for historicist skepticism.
As I have searched the teachings of the muhaddiths, shaykhs, and historians of this Ummah,
they have all affirmed
some explicitly and others implicitly
that no one can wipe away the Messenger’s love for his daughter.
أللهم صل على محمد و آل محمد
It seems to me that
only hearts filled with disbelief in tawhid, nubuwwa, and akhirah
could believe that such a love was lost
in the complexity of historical transmission.
So it would seem that
no partisan sectarian literature that developed in history
nor debate amongst the ‘ulama for 1200 years
can erase Your love for Sayyida Nisa al-‘Alamin.
It rings out any time a Muslim sends blessings and peace
“upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad”
in every fard and nafl salat
in every corner of the Earth
from the followers of every Sunni and Shi’i school of fiqh.
So bless me to love.
Let me love who You love.
A Mercy Case
