I have a good feeling about my Christian fellow countrymen & women

We like Christians and feel an affection and friendship for them. Christians helped their Muslim compatriots during the Revolution and the Imposed Iran-Iraq War. I witnessed firsthand how the Christians used their technical power in serving the war and defending their home and homeland along with their other compatriots against the invading enemy. Iranian Christians are not considered to be outsiders in the Islamic Republic of Iran and they are indeed part of the great nation of Iran. I too have a good feeling about my Christian fellow countrymen and women.

The Prophet (pbuh) would stand up in respect of her

Lady Fatimah Zahra (pbuh) enjoyed so many virtues and so much brilliance and greatness that whenever she entered a place where the Holy Prophet (pbuh) was, not only would he stand up in respect of her, he would also go forward to her. [May 12, 2012]

Lady Fatima Zahra (pbuh) is a radiant dawn

Indeed, Lady Fatima Zahra (pbuh) is a radiant dawn from which the suns of Prophethood and Imamate shine. She is a high, lofty sky in whose embrace the luminous stars of Imamate have been placed. [Oct. 22, 1997]

Lady Fatima (pbuh): An outstanding figure in social & political spheres

Lady Fatima Zahra was an outstanding figure in her political and social characteristics to such an extent that all distinguished women of the world who struggle for religion can learn from the short, brilliant life of this woman who spent her entire childhood in the arms of a father [Prophet Muhammad] who was fighting for a great, unforgettable global cause. [Jan. 16, 1990]

Vastness of the existence of a Muslim woman can be seen in character of Lady Fatimah Zahra (pbuh)

Lady Fatimah Zahra (pbuh) was a woman, an Islamic woman at the highest level. That is, she was at the level of a leader. This same woman could have been a prophet in terms of her virtues, merits, and level in existence. Nonetheless, this same woman was a mother, a wife, and a housewife. You see, these things must be understood.
