About the Book

Fatima (S.A): The Great Daughter of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), written by Dr. Muḥammad Ṭāhir-ul-Qādrī and published by Minhaj-ul-Quran International Publications (Pakistan) in 2005, is a collection of traditions and narrations describing the virtues and spiritual rank of Lady Fāṭimah al-Zahrāʾ.

The work highlights her role as the link between Prophethood (nubuwwah) — the divine mission of the Prophet Muḥammad — and Sainthood (wilāyah) — the guardianship and spiritual authority of the Prophet’s Family. It also affirms her central place within the Ahl al-Bayt (ʿa, an honorific meaning ʿalayhim al-salām — “peace be upon them”), the Prophet’s Household. Written in clear, devotional language, the book combines academic insight with spiritual reflection.
