Revolusi Tanah Fatimah Az-Zahra

The life of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (ʿa) — daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his Family) — is not merely a story of devotion and motherhood, but a profound social and spiritual revolution. In this work, one of the most brilliant minds of the modern Shīʿi world, Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr, reveals how her words and actions formed the first ideological resistance to tyranny after the Prophet’s passing. About the Book The Revolution of Fatimah al-Zahra (Thawrat Fāṭimah al-Zahrāʾ) examines the moral and political legacy of the Prophet’s daughter as a living embodiment of divine justice. Al-Sadr portrays Lady Fatimah (ʿa) not as a figure confined to the domestic sphere but as the guardian of wilāyah (divinely ordained leadership) and the voice of the oppressed.
