According to Imam Khomeini, the divine lady Fatima (PBUH) was not an ordinary woman; she was a spiritual woman, a heavenly woman, a perfect human being in the true sense of the word. She was a unique spiritual woman who embodied all the virtues of the prophets
Imam Khomeini through his theological works and historic messages invited the women and the entire mankind to follow the practical divine conduct of the daughter of the holy prophet of Islam.
In Imam Khomeini's viewpoint, all divine dimensions and sublime virtues that one can imagine for a woman and a human being were personified in divine personality of Hadrat Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her).
Imam through his historic speeches and messages called for all women to follow the footsteps of the holy lady of Islam in order to play a constructive role in the societies and accomplish their real status.
Imam Khomeini had called for all women to follow the footsteps of the divine Lady Hadrat Fatima (peace be upon her), the daughter of the holy prophet of Islam.
Imam made it clear that Islam raises the status and rights of women in society as the role of women in their families, and specifically gave examples from holy ladies such as Khadijah and her daughter Fatima (peace be upon them who rendered great sacrifices to spread the divine religion of Islam.
Imam Khomeini once said on a historic occasion that "The history of Islam is witness to the immense respect that the honorable Prophet had for Hazrat Zahra (Peace be upon them) which also powerfully reflects on the importance of women in society. If they are not superior to men, they are definitely not any inferior."
