Celebrating 20 Years of Prayer: 1993 - 2013

Fatimah, Mohammed’s Daughter

Fatimah: Born in Mecca in AD 605, died in Medina in AD 632.

Fatimah (Fatima) was the name of the favourite daughter of Mohammed. Her name means “she who weans.” She was considered one of four perfect women by Mohammed. The others were Mohammed’s own first wife, Khadijah, the mother of Fatimah; Mary, the mother of Jesus; and Asiya the wife of an ancient Pharaoh.

Fatimah is known as a loving and devoted daughter, mother and wife, as well as a sincere Muslim. At the age of 19 Fatimah married Ali. Their life together was simple, frugal, and not without hardship and deprivation. Because of his piety, apparently Ali was not greatly interested in material wealth. Fatimah’s acts of kindness toward the poor and destitute earned her praise from many. She gave birth to two sons and two daughters. In AD 632 after the death of her father she also passed away, either by an accident or by natural causes.

Fatimah was apparently a good influence, but her name is also associated with an occult object that has fairly negative influence in the Muslim world. This so-called “Hand of Fatimah” is used by Muslims in amulets, charms and jewelry to ward off evil spiritual influences.

Prayer Starters:

  • Pray according to Acts 19:18-20 concerning occult influences.
  • Pray for the millions of Muslim women named Fatimah to find new life in Jesus.

Testimony of a women in a difficult situation

Malika’s husband who was involved in criminal activites was killed. Malika remained alone with her four children for some time. Then she met several believers and came to Christ herself. Since her entire family were Muslims, Malika and her children were forced out of their home when her family learned about her choice for Jesus. She lost everything she had. She no longer had a place to live nor a means to earn money. Two of her children were sick, one who was 12 even needed regular heart medicine. Malika kept her faith and her new family helped her work things out.

Comments

  1. Sorry if this sounds stupid, but whats was the point of this article?

    • it was to talk about certain areas of “islam” that mix folk beliefs with their religious beliefs, and to focus prayer somewhat by suggesting a widely-used name to pray about.

  2. Daahiye macow says:

    Christians why do you choose blind belief instead of ISLAM (submission) which is truth that stands clear from falsehood? why do you blaspheme your creater? Why you say jesus is GOD when he never himself said that? Why do you ignore half of your bible which is the truth and eccept only the concocted lies in it? I said jesus is a prophet and messenger of GOD your bible agrees with me! you say no he is GOD but your bible disagree with you! if you cant show me only one verse which contain straightforward statement where jesus says i am GOD or worship me! I can show you more than ten verses where he says he is a prophet of GOD,

  3. Daahiye macow says:

    1st jesus was huble kind wonderful human prophet and messenger of GOD! > wil you ignore this > hebrews 5:7 during the day of of jesus’s life on earth he offered up prayers and suplications to the one who could save him from death, and he was head of his reverent submission (ISLAAM) . will u ignore this > luke 13:33 nevertheless i must walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following for it can not be that a prophet perish out of jeruselam! . will u ignore this > numbers 23:19 GOD is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent! . We know that jesus used to call himself -son of man- more than 80 times! How can you make him son of GOD and GOD at the same time?!?!?!

    • John 3:13 Jesus says, “You call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.”
      Also read John chapter 14, for example even verses 9-10, “Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not know me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father, and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? ”
      We believe in one God, but He can be in three different forms, God the Father-our creator, God- Jesus Christ- God who came to earth in the form of a human in order to take our sin away because without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins, and God the Holy Spirit- Same God is able to be with His faithful children and guide and help them!!!

  4. You see nataliya, you are trying to tell us here a god! Who is divided into 3 !!! You may believe that but you can’t explain to anyone who is thinking freely, and jesus never teach trinity, but paul did! When jesus is asked by one learned jew which of the ten commandment is first and most important? What did he answer? Trinity ore one? Mark 12:29 jesus said the first is hear o israel the LORD > our ezekiel 18:20 the soul that sineth it shall die, the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father neither shall the father bear for the iniquity of the son, the righteousnes of the righteous shall be upon him and the wickednes of the wicked shall be upon him. Now it is choice which part of the bible will reject since it is contradicting and confusing you?!?!

    • John 3-16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotton son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.
      Amen!

  5. The answer to john 14:9-10 he who has see me has seen the father, is in your bible ! in john 5:37 the father who sent me….. you have never heard his voice nor seen his form. But they where seeing him (jesus) and listening his voice! And concerning original sin go to ezekiel 18:20

  6. Benjamin Rodgers says:

    FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE! God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. A wonderful prayer for anyone seeking the truth would be: O God, I am a sinner and I dont want to be condemned to hell for my sins. Please forgive me and teach me your truth and show me clearly your salvation. Let your truth in me be a beacon of light to those who are lost and searching.
