Prophet (saw) once said "Whoever has pleased Fatimah (ra) has indeed pleased Allah (swt) and whoever has caused her to be angry has indeed angered Allah (swt). Fatimah (ra) is a part of me. Whatever pleases her pleases me and whatever angers her angers me."
Fatimah (ra) was given the title of "az-Zahra" which means "the Resplendent One". That was because of her beaming face that seemed to radiate light. It is said that when she stood for prayer, the mihrab would reflect the light of her countenance. She was also called "al-Batul" because of her purity and asceticism. Instead of spending her time in the company of women, much of her time would be spent in Salat, in reading the Qur'an and in other acts of 'ibadah.
Fatimah (ra) had a strong resemblance to her father, the Messenger of Allah (saw). 'A'ishah (ra), the wife of the Prophet (saw), said of her:
"I have not seen any one of Allah's creation resemble the Messenger of Allah (saw) more in speech, conversation and manner of sitting than Fatimah. When the Prophet (saw) saw her approaching, he would welcome her, stand up and kiss her, take her by the hand and sit her down in the place where he was sitting." She would do the same when the Prophet (saw) came to her.
Fatimah's fine manners and gentle speech were part of her lovely and endearing personality. She was especially kind to poor and indigent folk and would often give all the food she had to those in need even if she herself remained hungry. She had no craving for the ornaments of this world nor the luxury and comforts of life. She lived simply, although on occasion as we shall see, circumstances seemed to be too much and too difficult for her.
She inherited from her father a persuasive eloquence that was rooted in wisdom. When she spoke, people would often be moved to tears. She had the ability and the sincerity to stir their emotions, move people to tears and fill their hearts with praise and gratitude to Allah (swt) for His grace and His inestimable bounties.
subhanallah... these are some of the qualities of Fatima Zahra (RA)

Light of Dawn
I wake with the light of the dawn whispering with joy in my heart and with praise on my lips. In stillness and twilight i stand before you bowing, prostating i call Allahu (swt).
My eyes see your beauty in the dawn's golden hues. My ears hear the thunder as it gloriies you. The rhythm of my heart beats the sound of your name. My breaths rise and fall with the tide of your praise. My soul knew and loved you before i was born and without your mercy is lost and fortorn.
Wherever i may wonder down the pathways of life, my cry to you Allah (swt), is "guide me to ligfht" through all fear and helpness, to you do i turn for your breath of healing and peacedo i yearn. For all that i have , my Allah (swt) all that i am is from you, is for you and to you will return. Inshallah
