The General Mobilization’s Qur’anic Culture Department organized an awareness symposium at the Great Mosque in Sana’a to mark the birth anniversary of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (peace be upon her), coinciding with the International Day of the Muslim Woman. 

The event was held under the theme: “Lady Fatimah al-Zahra… A Model and an Example.”

During the symposium, lecturer Mohammed Sharf al-Din presented three key themes, highlighting aspects of Lady Fatimah’s life, her distinguished status as the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), and her upbringing in the House of Prophethood. 

He noted that her birth on the 20th of Jumada al-Akhirah aligns with the internationally recognized day for the Muslim woman, emphasizing that her title as “Leader of the Women of the Worlds” reflects her spiritual rank and her pivotal role after the Prophet’s passing.

He also discussed her exemplary modesty and moral conduct, describing her as a unique model of chastity and virtue. Sharf al-Din warned of the broad cultural assault targeting Muslim women through Western narratives of so-called “women’s rights,” stressing the need to strengthen Yemeni women’s awareness to confront soft-war tools.

The symposium concluded with an emphasis on following the example of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra, embodying her values within family and society, and raising awareness of the cultural and intellectual challenges facing Muslim women today.
