English Meaning

O carefully examined (lady): Allah Who created you had tried you before He created you (for this worldly life), and thus He found you successfully enduring in that trial. We claim being loyalists to you, believers in you, and tolerant as regards all that which has been conveyed to us by your father, peace of Allah be upon him and his Household, and all that which his Successor has brought to us. We, thus, ask you, if we have really believed you, that you may include us with those who believe in both of them (i.e. the Holy Prophet and Imam `Ali), so that we may feel happy that we have been purified on account of our loyalty to you. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Messenger of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Prophet of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the most beloved of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Intimate Servant of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Choice of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Trustee of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the best of Allah's creatures. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the best of Allah's Prophets, Messengers, and angels. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the best of all created beings. Peace be upon you, O doyenne of all women of the world, including the past and the coming generations. Peace be upon you, O lady of the Intimate Servant of Allah and the best of all created beings after the Messenger of Allah. Peace be upon you, O mother of al-Hasan and al-Husayn, the two chiefs of the youth of Paradise. Peace be upon you, O veracious and martyr. Peace be upon you, O content and pleased. Peace be upon you, O virtuous and pure. Peace be upon you, O Paradisiacal human being. Peace be upon you, O pious and immaculate. Peace be upon you, O one talked by the angels, O knowledgeable. Peace be upon you, O oppressed lady whose right was usurped. Peace be upon you, O persecuted and maltreated. Peace be upon you, O Fatimah the daughter of the Messenger of Allah. So be upon you the mercy and blessings of Allah. May Allah bless you, your soul, and your body. I bear witness that you have spent your life with full awareness of your duty towards your Lord and (I bear witness) that he who pleases you will have pleased the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, and he who displeases you will have displeased the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, and he who harms you will have harmed the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, and he who respects you will have respected the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, and he who disrespects you will have disrespected the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household. This is because you are an inseparable part of him (i.e. the Holy Prophet), and you are his soul with which he lives. I ask Allah, His Messengers, and His angels to be the witnesses that I am verily pleased with him whomever you accept, I am displeased with him whomever you detest, I disavow him whomever you disavow, I am loyal to him whomever you support, I am the enemy of him whomever you betake as enemy, I am hateful to him whomever you hate, and I like him whomever you like. Verily, Allah is Sufficient as Witness, Reckoner, Punisher, and Rewarder. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Messenger of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Prophet of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the most beloved of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Intimate Servant of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Choice of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the Trustee of Allah. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the best of Allah's creatures. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the best of Allah's Prophets, Messengers, and angels. Peace be upon you, O daughter of the best of all created beings. Peace be upon you, O doyenne of all women of the world, including the past and the coming generations. Peace be upon you, O lady of the Intimate Servant of Allah and the best of all created beings after the Messenger of Allah. Peace be upon you, O mother of al-Hasan and al-Husayn, the two chiefs of the youth of Paradise. Peace be upon you, O veracious and martyr. Peace be upon you, O content and pleased. Peace be upon you, O virtuous and pure. Peace be upon you, O Paradisiacal human being. Peace be upon you, O pious and immaculate. Peace be upon you, O one talked by the angels, O knowledgeable. Peace be upon you, O oppressed lady whose right was usurped. Peace be upon you, O persecuted and maltreated. Peace be upon you, O Fatimah the daughter of the Messenger of Allah. So be upon you the mercy and blessings of Allah. May Allah bless you, your soul, and your body. I bear witness that you have spent your life with full awareness of your duty towards your Lord; and (I bear witness) that he who pleases you will have pleased the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, he who displeases you will have displeased the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, he who harms you will have harmed the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, he who respects you will have respected the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household, and he who disrespects you will have disrespected the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his Household. This is because you are an inseparable part of him (i.e. the Holy Prophet), and you are his soul with which he lives. I ask Allah and His angels to be the witnesses that I am the friend of him who adheres to you, I am the enemy of him who makes an enemy of you, and I am in war against him who wages war against you. O my doyenne, I have full faith in you, your father, your husband, and your sons—the Imams, I believe in their (Divinely commissioned) leadership, and I commit myself to the obedience to them. I bear witness that their religion is the true religion, their command is the true command, they have conveyed on behalf of Almighty Allah (flawlessly), and they have called to the Way of Allah with wisdom and fair exhortation. They have never feared the blame of anyone concerning carrying out their duty towards Almighty Allah. Blessings of Allah be upon you and upon your father, your husband, and your descendants—the Immaculate Imams. O Allah, (please do) send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household and send blessings upon the chaste, the immaculate, the veracious, the infallible, pious, pure, amiable, well-pleased, virtuous, right-minded, oppressed, and wronged lady whose right was usurped, whose right of inheritance was violated, whose rib was broken, whose husband was persecuted, and whose son was slain; (she is) Fatimah: the daughter of Your Messenger, the inseparable part of his flesh, the essence of his heart, the piece of his innermost, the choice of You for him, the gift that You have given exclusively to the Successor of him, the most beloved of the Preferred Prophet, the wife of the Pleased Successor, the doyenne of all women, the conveyor of good tidings to the intimate servants (of Almighty Allah), the inseparable from piety and asceticism, and the Apple of the Heaven and Eternity (in Paradise); (she is) the lady through whose birth You have honored the women of Paradise, from whom You have pulled the Lights of the Imams, and fixed the Veil of Prophethood. O Allah, (please do) confer upon her with blessings that raise her standing and honor with You, raise her position from Your Pleasure, convey to her our greetings and compliments, and grant us, from You on account of our love for her, favor, kindness, mercy, and forgiveness. Verily, You are the All-generous Lord of pardon.
