Islamic Symbolism of Fatima's Tale:

Fatimah name meaning in urdu

Fatima is an Arabic name meaning "Immaculate Conception" which was given to the Virgin Mary by Christians. Her story has been told and retold for centuries. Today, Fatima is associated with a deeper meaning, which is a different story altogether. She is also referred to as "Mary of Nazareth".

According to Islamic history, Fatima name meaning in urdu was the youngest daughter of Mohammed who was only fourteen years old when she was married to a man named Mohammad. He had divorced her mother before they were married. Her father turned down the proposal of the man who wanted to marry Fatima because she was too young to be married off.

The well-known incident of the "tale of two daughters" and her will, the reason for her rejecting the marriage proposal of the would-be groom, is a great example of how she felt about Mohammed. Fatima's father even threatened to kill her if she gave up her claim on Mohammed and Islam. After this bitter experience, Mohammed used the events that happened to him to show the richness of women.

Fatima, her sister and her mother were held in a cave where they were exposed to heat and hunger. They escaped through a small crack in the cave wall, where they fled to their uncle's house. Her uncle was of course ashamed to let them go and decided to sell them to a certain man named Mahmud. The story goes that Mahmud saw these three very poor and elderly women and asked them for a young girl so that he could marry her off to him.

In exchange for Fatima, Mahmud promised his wife that he would not marry the three old women. This was because he was afraid that she would reveal his infidelity. When Fatima learned that she had been sold to Mahmud, she became enraged and vowed to return home and deliver him from his vow.

After several days passed, Mahmud realized that Fatima was still missing and decided to call her back to meet him. It was then that Fatima delivered a message telling Mahmud that she would not return to his home because the promise that she had made to him was still true.

As a result of this incident, Fatima came into popularity among Muslims and is known as "the Black Madonna". Her story can be interpreted in different ways such as: "No man can marry my soul and take me captive", "no one can hold me captive unless I say so"when I'm free, I won't return to that man". According to Muslim legends, Fatima later converted to Islam and lived a good life.

This story has been read by many people especially in Pakistan and many people can understand Fatima's plight and the suffering that she had gone through. As a result, there are now Fatima themes in Urdu literature.
