◼️Fatima is Fatima

🔰I do not know what to say about her or how to say it?
♦️I wanted to imitate the French writer who was speaking one day in a conference about the Virgin #Mary. He said, "For 1700 years all of the speakers have spoken of Mary. For 1700 years, all philosophers and thinkers of various nations of the East and West have spoken of the value of Mary. For 1700 years, the poets of the world have spent all of their creative efforts and power in their praise of Mary. For 1700 years, all of the painters and artists have created wonderful works of art showing the face and form of Mary.
🔻But the totality of all that has been said and the efforts of all the artists and thinkers throughout these many centuries have not been able to better describe the greatness of Mary than the simple words, 'Mary was the mother of Jesus Christ.'
And I wanted to begin in this manner with #Fatima. I got stuck. I wished to say, 'Fatima was the #daughter_of_the_great_Khadija,' but I sensed this would not fully describe Fatima.
I wished to say, 'Fatima was the #daughter_of_Muhammad,' but I sensed this would not fully describe Fatima.
I wished to say,'Fatima was the #wife_of_Ali,' but I sensed this would not fully describe Fatima.
I wished to say,'Fatima was the #mother_of_Hassan_and_Husayn,' but I sensed this would not fully describe Fatima.
I wished to say, 'Fatima is the #mother_of_Zaynab,' but I still sensed this would not fully describe Fatima.
🔺No, these are all true, and none of them is Fatima, #Fatima_is_Fatima.
