Lessons from Sayyidda Fatemah - some points from our last sister's circle

Our fortnightly wednesday sisters' circles have now become weekly! They're a great opportunity to catch up with each other and learn something too!

At the end of the last session, we looked at some lessons from the life of Sayyidda Fatemah, daughter of the Holy Prophet:
1. She never spoke anything unless it was the truth
2. She never mentioned or remembered anyone negatively
3. She protected others' secrets
4. She accepted others' excuses
5. She always kept promises
6. She forgave others

We discussed each of them and came up with the conclusion that the best way to show your love for the Ahlul Bayt (family of the Prophet) is to follow the examples that they have left for us. Obviously there is no way we can ever be as generous or as forgiving as they were, but at least we can try.

Take number 5 - one way we can follow this through is if we are invited to someone's house or gathering (or even a sister's circle!) and we tell the host we are going to attend, then its mandatory on us to attend, otherwise we are not keeping our promise of attendance!

Anyone visiting Syria on a Wednesday is more than welcome to attend!
