Sunni View of Ali - Family Life

Family Life

He is also honored for marrying a daughter of Muhammed, an honor shared with Uthman who married two of the Prophet's daughters, thus called "The Holder of Two Lights". However, Ali is given distinction in this regard due to the high status accorded to Fatima being the sayyeda or lady of the women of paradise. It is also that she is the prophet's daughter, who is very important.

Narrated by al-Bukhari, 3671.

Famous quotes containing the words family life, family and/or life:

    Family life may survive as a form of evening and weekend entertainment.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    In the middle classes the gifted son of a family is always the poorest—usually a writer or artist with no sense for speculation—and in a family of peasants, where the average comfort is just over penury, the gifted son sinks also, and is soon a tramp on the roadside.
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.
    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
