al-batul

This poem was inspired by the Fatimiya Sufi Order in how they treat the daughter of Muhammad Fatima, though it can be about any woman that you want.

She moves like paradise

across the barren hills of life

planting eternity wherever she goes

Her beauty is unmatched

The Sun cannot out shine her

The Moon is her mirror

A crown of imagination rests on her head

earrings of Love and peace dangle from her lobes

The sword of Nobility never leaves her

Her name is Veiled Light

She is Mother, Sister, and Daughter

A presence found in meditation

Beautiful the Sufi tradition venerating women , love the last verse .

[Abdul Batin Osman Bey]

thank you, it's a unique order in that sense that women play a major role, though in Shia Islam Fatima plays a much larger role than most let on because it's through her that the bloodline of Muhammad flows.

[MOON]

Indeed , and an important point is that women's role in Islam at the time was much greater then they been given credit for and their rights too have been diminished somewhat , hijacked by men so to speak.

[Abdul Batin Osman Bey]

Very true, the Qur'an as an entire chapter dedicated to women, the rights they should have etc, etc. It's unfortunate that when Muhammad passed so many went back to Cultural traditions instead of keeping to the true revelation that was giving to them. It is for that reason that so many prophets were sent in the first place. Women have a long way to go in order to reclaim there rightful place in this world.

I love Ahl Al Bayt too much ... Muhammad , Ali , Fatima , Hassan and Hussein... She was a great woman in her own right... Very courageous ... Very gracious...
Thank you for sharing...
