 In Egypt's most famous capital Cairo, there's a beautiful mosque which houses a tomb decorated in gold and emerald green of an incredible lady. Sayyidina Faisa alaihi salam was a descendant of Imam al-Hassan alaihi salam and is well known in Egypt as being intercessor and American worker. Every day faithful Muslims flock to her shrine hoping that their prayers may be answered. She was born on the 11th of Rabi'a al-Awwal 145 of the Hijra in Mecca. Her father, Hassan al-Nwar, a descendant of Imam al-Hassan alaihi salam, was appointed the governor of Medina in 150 of the Hijri so she accompanied her father there. It was there that she memorized the entire Quran and studied the Islamic jurisprudence in depth. Among her many titles are Atahira, The Virtuous, Al-Abida, The Beautiful, Sahibat Al-Karamat, The Lady of Miracles and Sayyidat Ahl al-Fatwa, The Leading, Lady and Driving Ruling and The Vertex. But there was nothing that the Lady Nafisa alaihi salam loved more than visiting the grave of her grandfather, the Holy Prophets, sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi. She would visit him every day and regularly performed her prayers at Midget and Nibawi. Her father would take her to the holy grave and say, Oh Rasulullah, beloved prophet of Allah, I am pleased with my daughter Nafisa. And one night in his dreams, the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi, visited him and said, Oh Hassan, I am pleased with your daughter Nafisa because you are pleased with her and Allah is pleased with her because I am pleased with her. It is said that she performed Hajj 30 times during her life and most of them she did on foot. She would say, I am following my grandfather Imam Hussein alaihi salam who used to say, I feel shy to meet my Lord having never walked to his house. She married Ishaq al-Muttamam, the son of Imam Sadaq alaihi salam who was also known for his righteousness. He accompanied her when she relocated to Cairo in the year of 193 after Hijri. The reason for why she relocated to Egypt is unknown. Though it may be due to the oppression that the family of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi were made to endure. Upon arrival in Egypt, the people rushed to welcome her and were delighted by her presence. Every day people would visit her to request religious ruling to ask them blessings. At first it was hard for her to be away from her beloved Medina but she stayed to serve the people of Egypt. She was a point of reference for some of the most well-known scholars including Muhammad ibn Idris as Shafihe who is commonly referred to as Imam Shafihe and Ahmed ibn Hanban also referred to as Imam Ahmed. She gave almost all of her wealth away in charity including 100,000 dirhams the equivalent of nearly one million pound today what was originally given to her by the governor of Egypt. In addition, her niece Zaynab narrates that she served Saydina Fisa alaihi s-salam for 40 years but never saw her aunt sleep during the night nor did she see her eat during the day except on the days of Eid. When Zaynab asked her to take care of herself Lady Nafisa said how shall I take care of myself before I reach my lord? Ahead of me are so many barriers which no one can cross except the successful ones. Such was the piety of Saydina Fisa that she even dug her own grave with her very hands inside her home and she used to pray and read Quran whilst in the grave when she became ill her husband and children surrounded her and urged her to stop fasting to keep her strength but she refused to eat. She said I've been asking Allah to die fasting for 30 years but now you want me to break my fast? On the 1st of Ramadan, 208th of the Hijri Saydina Fisa alaihi s-salam passed away in the state through her over 150 recorded miracles have occurred including the healing of the sick and paralyzed the release of a prisoner, the end to a drought Today, you find over her grave it is written that anyone who is experiencing difficulties should visit the grave of Saydina Fisa alaihi s-salam and recite Surat al-Fatiha, Surat al-A'la, Surat al-Akhlas Surat al-Falaq and Surat al-Nas and give this recitation to her so that Allah may solve your problem Peace be upon you, wise lady of Egypt Nafisa Tahira, the son of Imam Al-Hasan alaihi s-salam daughter of Amir al-Mu'mineen and the lady of Fatima al-Zahra alaihi s-salam May Allah SWT grant us all her visit and her intercession on the Day of Judgment
