ABSTRACT
The discussion about the pride of women, the Lady of the Women of the Worlds – Lady al-Zahra (peace be upon her) – is a deeply emotional one, as her life was filled with afflictions and hardships. Nevertheless, she remains a model to be followed by believing women in their lives, continuing to be a guiding light that illuminates the paths of darkness. In this study, we will explore how to emulate her (peace be upon her) through various aspects of her life, including her asceticism, chastity, commitment to hijab, as well as her defense (peace be upon her) of the divine message and the concept of imamate.

ABSTRACT
The verse of Mubahala in Surah Al-Imran represents a rich narrative structure, infused with the rhythms of Arabic storytelling, and featuring linguistic and semantic elements that are clearly visible. It stands as a central component in the Qur\'anic storytelling tradition, particularly in Surah Al-Imran and across the Qur\'an in general.
The story of Mubahala draws its intellectual dimensions through its relationship with the other, while simultaneously intersecting with the Islamic existential and formative struggles, in opposition to the denial of this existence and attempts to distort it. The narrative of Mubahala thus carries a storytelling vision that seeks the birth of its characters, presented through various narrative entry points, with its central figures and protagonists directly engaged in the discourse.
The narrative structure of the Mubahala story manifests in three semantic layers, highlighted in its narrative core, embodied in the events, character paths, the story\'s time and place, and is extended through dramatic plot development.

The research summary is considered the foundational element through which the researcher presents the essence of their study, forming a mature idea that allows for the presentation of the key points in their work. This research is significant due to its contemporary concept and the limited studies that resemble it. The researcher aims to highlight the important media role played by Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (peace be upon her) in defending her rights, despite the short period she lived after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The study aims to explore the media role that Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (peace be upon her) achieved in defending her rights and the extent to which society is aware of this role. The researcher used the historical survey method, with a sample of 200 participants randomly selected from Baghdad University students. The researcher relied on the Likert scale in designing the questionnaire. The study concludes the necessity of organizing religious lectures and scientific workshops that discuss the media role of Lady al-Zahra (peace be upon her), given its importance in the life of society.

Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (Peace Be Upon Her) played a significant role in building and strengthening the foundations of Islam and establishing its pillars. Therefore, Allah (Glory Be to Him) and His noble Messenger (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) honored her with numerous virtues, which have been highlighted by many esteemed scholars, foremost among them Imam Khomeini (May God sanctify his soul). These virtues stem from her many contributions alongside the Prophet (PBUH) in completing and spreading the Islamic message in its most perfect form. Additionally, she made a significant contribution in guiding and educating women, leading them on the path of Islam by fostering a remarkable female community, equipped with all the qualities necessary to build a conscious generation capable of preserving the Islamic structure of the nation.

There are two types of virtues in the narrations and biographies related to the life of Lady al-Zahra (Peace Be Upon Her). One of these virtues pertains to her human traits, while the second category includes her exalted, superhuman virtues. In the role of modeling and adopting a way of life, human characteristics possess the ability to be followed and emulated. However, the question arises regarding the transmission of these exalted virtues: should they also be presented as a model to follow? Some believe that the virtues and miraculous abilities of Lady al-Zahra (Peace Be Upon Her) are real, and that their mention by the Imams was wise; otherwise, they would have been concealed, like some other matters that were hidden from the public. Thus, this research, using a descriptive-analytical approach, addresses the legitimacy of presenting the extraordinary virtues of Lady al-Zahra (Peace Be Upon Her) as a model. The study reached the following conclusions:1. Reading these virtues in the words of the Ahl al-Bayt (Peace Be Upon Them) grants permission to adopt and expand upon them.2. By creating role models from Lady al-Zahra (Peace Be Upon Her) and the Imams (Peace Be Upon Them), expressing their sublime characteristics alongside their human traits makes their example more appealing.3. The transmission of these virtues leads to their immortality across time and space, embodied in the model, similar to how the presence of supernatural elements in Western films or historical myths makes them captivating and prevents them from aging, allowing them to be emulated by any nationality or culture. 4. One of the reasons for the authenticity and originality of the model of Lady al-Zahra and her way of life is her transcendent characteristics.

This research aims to clarify the concept of the principle of modesty, hijab, and privacy in the words of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (Peace Be Upon Her) for women, and to apply the indicators for building privacy in historical houses in Iran and Iraq based on Islamic teachings. Women have their own characteristics and needs due to their modesty and nature. Attention to women regarding the formation of architectural spaces in the past is of utmost importance. Islamic teachings, in particular, have focused on the principle of modesty and privacy, emphasizing their consideration within the home. This objective aspect of the issue can be examined in the architecture of the house by defining and analyzing traditional houses. Historical architects in Iran and Iraq considered modesty and privacy as fundamental principles in building structures, especially residential ones. Therefore, the question arises: how do the Qur'anic verses and Hadiths of the Ahl al-Bayt (Peace Be Upon Them) emphasize the establishment of the principle of modesty and privacy for women in the home, and how is the principle of privacy expressed and applied to women? How does the principle of privacy manifest in light of the Qur'anic verses and Hadiths of the Ahl al-Bayt in the houses of Iran and Iraq? To answer this question, the current research focuses on traditional houses as a case study. The research methodology is descriptive-analytical, where by studying the verses and Hadiths, it can be concluded that the principle of privacy in the building is visually manifested through sequence and enclosure. These principles align with the Qur'anic verses and Islamic traditions. In the past, using these solutions, architects provided privacy in the building not only for women but also for all family members.

All creatures have specific characteristics, animals, angels, and humans, and among humans there are also different characteristics. Some care a lot about moral and spiritual issues, and some care about the physical, material, and worldly aspects. Some are successful in personal life, some in family life, and some in the field of social and political issues. Those active in the field of social and political activity usually neglect spiritual issues, and those who care about moral and spiritual matters remain oblivious to worldly matters. Brave people and military warriors usually have weak human feelings, and good and emotional people do not have courage and fighting, but the perfect human being is the one who has all the perfections. He is a manifestation of the attributes of God. He is the first and the last and the apparent and the hidden. The perfect human being is the successor of God, comprehensive of all the attributes of God. Beauty and majesty, it has all the qualities, and includes all levels of human perfection, and of course all humans have the ability to achieve these perfections, but those who achieve and master this ability are very few. On the other hand, just as it is not possible to reach the essence of God Almighty, and it is impossible to encompass him with his own existence, those who depend on him are also in complete secrecy, and the Night of Decree is hidden. (Indeed, We sent it down on the Night of Decree), (Indeed, We sent it down on a blessed night.) What is Laylat al-Qadr? It's a blessed night. Al-Mubaraka is one of the names of Al-Zahra, peace be upon her. Imam Al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever truly knows Fatima has attained the Night of Decree.” Fatima Al-Zahra, peace be upon her, is the embodiment of all the attributes of God Almighty, and therefore all the attributes of majesty and beauty are manifested in her. Some people believe that these qualities are contradictory or contradictory, but that archetypal lady is the sum of all the attributes of God in terms of knowing God, understanding him, and communicating with the world of meaning, and she is at the highest level before whom the greatest creation of the world, Gabriel, comes and provides knowledge from God to serve her. “Indeed, those who say, ‘Our Lord is God’ and then remain steadfast, the angels descend upon them.” Imam Al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Gabriel used to descend upon our grandmother and tell her things, even though Gabriel did not descend upon all the prophets. On the other hand, when she rises to worship, she performs a worship that God boasts about to the angels, and at the same time she is like a mother raising her children and doing household chores. At the same time, it enters the political arena when needed, fights courageously with all its heart, defends its Imam, and achieves its goals, which are divine goals.

This article discusses the importance of education in the life of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (Peace Be Upon Her) and draws upon the perspectives of thinkers in this field. Within this framework, the objectives of education, the fundamentals of upbringing, educational principles, and the dimensions of education (moral, religious, social, and political) were presented. The methods of education, including the expression of philosophy and the effects of actions, the introduction of role models, encouragement, and punishment, were also explored. Additionally, the factors influencing education and the obstacles to education were examined.

This research is based on the thought of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (Peace Be Upon Her) in community development through the development of the family, which represents the fundamental nucleus for the growth and development of any human society worldwide. The economic role of women is crucial in supporting all family members and meeting their needs. Often, she plays the most significant and influential role in ensuring the stability of the family, making her responsibilities related to maintaining her social and economic stability comparable, and at times even exceeding, those of the man. This makes her, in many cases, the most important element in a stable, contemporary family, with the largest role in it. The economic role of women in the family and home is often the most important; although her role may not extend beyond the home in many cases, she is typically the direct overseer of expenses on one hand and family requirements on the other. This makes her role vital and significant in achieving balance and preventing any imbalances that may arise from an increase in expenses compared to the family’s income. From the researcher’s economic perspective, the Fatimah-like woman, as a housewife in Iraqi society and a supervisor of its requirements, must achieve economic balance, which in turn is an integral part of societal balance. This starts with assessing the total family income as the first step from which the woman, as the manager of her household, can operate. She must account for all monthly expenses, leaving nothing out, even the smallest details. Therefore, family stability—of which financial and economic stability is one of the most important causes—depends, in one way or another, on the woman’s economic role in achieving this balance, her success in managing and reducing unnecessary expenses, while considering the family's monthly income.

In the digital age, personal marketing strategy is considered the best way to enhance a political persona and choose the appropriate approach for personal excellence. Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (Peace Be Upon Her), as the highest-ranking woman in the world, was able to present various aspects of an outstanding human character throughout her short life, aspects that can be replicated across eras and throughout history. With the increasing number of online users, the development of mobile phone tools, and the rise of social media, marketing such a prestigious persona in the digital space has become a necessity that cannot be ignored. It is essential to make it possible to replicate this persona in the digital environment to raise awareness among the Islamic youth, especially women, regarding the various facets of Lady Fatimah’s character. Investigations have shown that this crucial issue has been overlooked in previous studies; therefore, the current research aims to present a model for the digital personal branding of this unique persona by studying the political dimensions of al-Zahra (Peace Be Upon Her) and providing the necessary requirements to present this model more effectively in the digital age. To achieve the research goal, in addition to examining historical and narrative sources related to the political dimensions of al-Zahra’s character, a comprehensive review of studies in the field of digital branding was conducted, and expert opinions were surveyed. The results revealed that the proposed framework has four main dimensions: the content dimension, the governance dimension, the cultural dimension, and the visionary dimension of al-Zahra’s unique political identity, which includes 23 requirements for developing her personal brand in the digital space. The proposed framework can serve as a roadmap for institutions responsible for religious and cultural activities, aiming to set a role model for youth, especially Muslim women.

Based on the Hadith of Thaqalayn, human salvation is achieved through holding fast to the Book of God and the pure progeny (Ahl al-Bayt). The greatest injustice is none other than the usurpation of the Prophet’s rightful authority from those who are worthy of it. The greatest wrong in this context is the failure to restore this right. Guidance is impossible without the accompaniment of the pure family. Lady Fatimah, with her existence, is a symbol of knowledge for anyone who seeks the straight path, as numerous narrations from the Prophet Muhammad have highlighted her status. Her presence alongside Amir al-Mu’minin Ali stands as the highest proof of his rightful Imamate, divinely ordained, and necessary for all of humanity throughout time. Her explicit defense and her confrontations alongside the Imam of her time sought to free humanity from the grip of oppression.
The necessity of the Imam for human society compelled Lady Fatimah to take effective steps to preserve the Imamate. This study explores the three major sermons delivered by Lady Fatimah through a descriptive-analytical approach. Her refusal to engage in dialogue with her opponents, her insistence on Bilal’s call to prayer after the Prophet’s death, her continuous tears, and her will, all constitute forms of passive resistance aimed at fulfilling her most important duty: defending humanity.
Lady Fatimah saw in the loss of Imam Ali, and her distance from her divine role, the suffering and deprivation of all humankind until the Day of Judgment. This is the primary reason for her abundant tears, which flowed day and night, making her the "Head of the Weepers." This emotional expression persisted during the brief period she lived after the martyrdom of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Muslim countries have always been exposed to risks and threats from opportunists and those in power. Doubt and the mixing of truth with falsehood are the most subtle tactics in the hands of enemies who continually seek to deliver an irreparable blow to the body of the Islamic community. Therefore, studying the lives of the infallibles (peace be upon them), as an extension of the prophetic guidance to preserve the authentic Islamic values, is one of the essential elements that, in addition to its role in guiding people and ensuring their salvation, plays a crucial role in maintaining the ideals of the Islamic society and the freedom of the world. These great figures considered, throughout their lives, that their presence in the community was a significant responsibility entrusted to them by Allah the Almighty.
With the sorrowful setting of the bright sun of the message on the 28th of Safar in the tenth year of the Hijrah, the darkness of the post-prophetic era disturbed the wise, and few people believed in their ability to stand in the religious scene and defend in the political arena. However, during this time, the noble lady of Islam, Lady Fatimah (peace be upon her), who surpasses thousands of capable men, carried the banner of insight and awareness, as well as the banner of struggle against the leaders of injustice, in order to preserve the continuity of the prophetic guidance and deliver the call of truth to the ears of future generations. Although the life of the Muhammadian flower was very short after the passing of the Prophet (peace be upon him), her educational-political approach, as a leader throughout her life, shows that she continuously invited people through wise interpretations to awareness, vigilance, and the recognition of trials, urging them not to fall into the traps of the enemies of religion.
Lady Fatimah (peace be upon her), in her position as a defender of humanity and in the process of educating people and guiding creation towards their encounter with Allah, was entrusted with leadership after the Prophet, in an environment poisoned with trials. She was granted this talent both outwardly and inwardly. As the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (may God rest his soul) said: "If Fatimah Zahra were a man, she would have been a Prophet." In his analysis of this statement, Imam Khamenei uses the term "leader" in its fullest sense, such as a Prophet, a guide for all of humanity. She truly embodied the role of a leader, as Imam Khomeini (may God rest his soul) said, "If Fatimah Zahra were a man, she would have been a Prophet." This is a very profound statement, a very great statement, and it can only be heard from the mouth of a person like the great Imam, who was a scholar, a jurist, and a mystic. But he said this statement. This is Fatimah Zahra; she is a leader in every sense of the word, like a Prophet, like a guide for all of humanity; to this extent and at this level, Fatimah Zahra appears, the young woman; she is the woman in Islam.

From the perspective of the status of the perfect human being in the existence of Lady Fatimah as the complete human, the manifestation of God is inherent. This means that a collection of divine attributes and names appeared in the form of the perfect human to oversee and direct the affairs of the world. Indeed, Fatimah is the medium of grace, the bearer of truth, and the creator of existence. What God blesses in His creation of His will is transmitted through her, via the path of her existence and the position of the Night of Qadr.
Understanding the existence of Lady Fatimah within the world (of course, within the scope of God's power) generates love for her, and pure love leads to obedience. Therefore, recognizing Lady Fatimah's presence is a strategic role in the school of Fatimite humanity.

The life of Fatimah (Peace Be Upon Her) is examined in two distinct periods of the life of the beloved Messenger of Islam (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him and His Family), with particular focus on the brief period following the Prophet's passing until her martyrdom. This period exemplifies her role as a practical and objective model of the true Islamic faith. Various stances and themes throughout her life highlight the importance of the fundamental human rights she embodied. This article presents several examples of human rights in the life of Fatimah (Peace Be Upon Her), including the right to life, the right to human dignity, the right to ownership, the right of individuals to determine their political fate and enjoy an ideal government, the right to freedom and political liberty, and the right to the social and political existence of women. The article also addresses the right of women to economic independence, charitable work, and the respect for the rights of family and community as demonstrated through her actions and words.

The sanctity that Lady Zahra (peace be upon her) enjoys is agreed upon
by all Muslims, and even by those outside the Islamic faith, such as the
People of the Book and others. Few women have enjoyed such status,
with the exception of the Virgin Mary (peace be upon her). This
centrality has led to a consensus on her pure life, and although her life
was short, its impact remains to this day in the hearts of the believers.
This symbolic meaning is instilled, as soon as her name is mentioned,
in the hearts of young people, especially the virtuous and faithful girls
who walk on her righteous path despite the temptations and traps set by
the enemies to ensnare them. They are armed with faith and chastity,
which serve as a strong barrier against those deviant currents, offering a
real role model in the real world, far from excessive utopianism and the
ideas promoted by the enemies of the Ummah, who seek to separate the
youth from their faith and role models, and to implant the wrong
Machiavellian theory (the end justifies the means), making deviations
and disobedience to the Lord of the Worlds as easy as drinking a cup of
water, under the pretext of civilization and progress!
Such literary gatherings organized by the cultural institution in the two
holy shrines and blessed universities have a clear impact on
strengthening the bonds between society in all its forms, and spreading
sound, peaceful ideas that support community security and domestic
peace. We are in dire need of unity, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as
solutions, rejecting the language of division and attacking the other
Muslim. We must take advantage of the social media platforms to
instill the spirit of unity, selflessness, and putting the interests of the
Ummah above narrow personal interests. A great example of this is the
stance of Lady Zahra (peace be upon her), who relinquished her
personal rights for the service and protection of Islam, prioritizing
others, even at the expense of her own rights. Peace be upon her on the
day she was born, the day she was martyred, and the day she is
resurrected.
