The good and noble lady Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) and the Apostle Of Allah bestowed all their natural love, care and devotion on their lovable and child Fatimah, who in her turn was extremely fond of her parents.

Character: The Princess of the House of the Prophet was very intelligent, accomplished and cheerful. Her sermons, poems and sayings serve as an index to her strength of character and nobility of mind. Her virtues gained her the title Our Lady of Light. She was tall, slender and endowed with great beauty which caused her to be called Az-Zahra (the Lady of Light). She was called Az-Zahra also because her light used to shine among those in heaven.

Marriage: After arriving in Madinah, she was married to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in the first year after Hijrah. She gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Her children Hasan, Husayn, Zaynab and Umm Kulthum are well-known for their piety, goodness and generosity. Their strength of character and actions changed the course of history. The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said, Fatimah is a piece of my heart. He would go out to receive his daughter whenever she came from her husband’s house. Every morning on his way to the masjid, he would pass by Fatimah’s house and say, As-Salamu ‘alaykum ya ahli baytin-nubuwwah wa madanir-risalah (peace be upon you oh the household of prophethood and the source of messengership).

The Best Woman: Fatimah is famous and acknowledged as the Sayyidatu nisai al-alamin (leader of all the women of the world for all times) because the prophethood of Muhammad would not have been everlasting without her.

The Prophet is the perfect example for men, although Fatima compliments his teachings toward and for women. For all the verses revealed in the Holy Quran for women, Fatimah is the perfect model who translated every verse into action. In her lifetime, she was a complete woman by being a daughter, wife and mother at the same time. As a daughter, she loved her parents so much that she won their love and regard to such an extent that the Holy Prophet used to rise whenever she came near him. As a wife, she was very devoted.

She never asked Hazrat Ali for anything in her whole life. As a mother, she cared for and brought up wonderful children; they have left their marks on the face of the world, which time will not be able to erase.

A pond surrounding the statue that used to be full of fish is now filled with remnants of the structure, made of fiber glass and foam. All the fish are either dead or dying, Mascarella said.

Church leaders also plan to repair the amphitheater and the pond and the structures were all insured. Insurance adjusters were expected at the site Tuesday afternoon.

The fire is not suspicious. It was ignited about 11:15 p.m. Monday during a severe thunderstorm that spawned lightning across the Greater Cincinnati region, Mascarella said.

John Centers, a Monroe assistant fire chief who lives about a mile from the church, said he was outside on his deck watching Monday night's storm when he saw a very bright flash of lightning accompanied by loud thunderclap. At first, he didn't think much of it, "because there had already been so many ground strikes that night," Centers said. But he could tell that the lightning had struck fairly close by and "it was a very significant ground strike."

"The pattern of light flashed all the way to the ground," and was in the general direction of the church, Centers said.

He soon realized that must have been the lightning that struck the statue because within four minutes of his witnessing the strike, firefighters were being called to the blazing statue.

And it burned quickly: "It burned to the ground. The whole statue is gone," said Kim Peace, a police dispatcher.

Authorities on Tuesday were urging motorists to resist the temptation to stop on Interstate 75 and snap photos, fearing that drivers pulling on and off the berm could cause crashes.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol is issuing warnings to those who stop — and will soon start writing citations, a dispatcher for the patrol's Lebanon post said.

The number of warnings written so far was not immediately available.

The large "King of Kings" statue was a Butler County landmark since it was erected in 2004 outside Solid Rock Church, 904 N. Union Rd., along northbound Interstate 75 in Monroe just north of the Ohio 63 exit.

Fire crews were called to the church at 11:15 p.m. after several people phoned 911 to report the blaze as a severe thunderstorm swept through Greater Cincinnati, producing a spectacular lightning show, Peace said.

"The lightning was just amazing," she said, wryly adding: "It was a lot of fun in here last night."

When fire crews arrived, they found the statue fully involved and an adjacent amphitheater burning. The fire extended into the attic of the amphitheater, destroyed equipment, before fire crews contained it, Peace said. No one was injured.

There were grounding devices built into the structure, Neu said.

"Everything around the structure and even the structure itself has lightning resistors and grounding rods," but he added that the unpredictable nature of lightning doesn't make those devices entirely effective.

The sculpture stretches 40 feet wide at the base. It was made of plastic form and fiberglass over a steel frame. The frame is the only thing visible this morning.

According to the evangelical church's website, there are about 4,000 members. The church was founded by former horse trader Lawrence and Darlene Bishop of Middletown.

Mukhlis Khaeran, who saw the sea sweep away his home village of Baet outside the north Sumatran city of Banda Aceh, but leave the neighborhood mosque relatively intact. In the village of Kaju, also outside Banda Aceh, hundreds of homes were annihilated while the local mosque suffered only a few cracks in the walls.

Prophet HUD was sent. They were very tall, big, and very powerful, such that they could put their arms around a tree trunk and uproot it. Later these people, who were given all the power, turned against Allah and the Prophet and transgressed beyond all boundaries set by Allah. As a result they were destroyed. Ulema's of Saudi Arabia believe these to be the remains of the people of Aad. Saudi Military has secured the whole area and no one is allowed to enter except the ARAMCO personnel. See the attachment and note the size of the two men standing in the picture in comparison to the size of the skeleton.

'We witnessed not the destruction of his household, and verily, we are telling the truth. So, they plotted a plot, and We planned a plan, while they perceived not. Then see how was the end of their plot! Verily, We destroyed them and their nation all together.[027:049-51]
