Mystical Place of Fatima Al-Zahra (p.b.u.h.) From the Imam M. Ghazali and Other Mystic's Viewpoint

Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon her) is the manifestation of God's nature and all attributes. Hence, she has gone well beyond the limitations of mankind and joined the infinite and the absolute being of the Real. So it is very difficult and fully beyond the usual human understanding to know and grasp her inner aspects and mystical place. By discussing the trip towards God and its codes and mysteries, some mystics stated some traditions about some mystical places of Fatima al-Zahra (p.b.u.h.). One of these mystical places is 'poorness and piety'. Imam Muhammad al-GHazali, the great philosopher and mystic of the Muslim world, in his Ihyau 'Ulum il-Din in the chapter of 'poorness and piety' has narrated a tradition about Fatima al-Zahra (p.b.u.h.), which shows her majesty in the place of poorness i.e. in battling the self and unification with the infinite and the absolute being of the Real. By explaining this tradition, the writer interpreted and analyzed the 'place of poorness and piety' from the viewpoint of some mystics.
