 Oppression. A prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or exercise of authority. Living in the West means that many individuals from the Muslim community must often face oppression due to Islamophobia and the rejection of the religion of peace Islam by the society. Similarly, Fatima Zahra alaihi salam had to battle oppression against the Meccans. Many individuals today use her as a guide to speak out against oppressive individuals within Western societies and their false perceptions of Islam. I hope to investigate the aspects that are often neglected surrounding the life of Fatima Zahra alaihi salam and to understand the idea presented in both the Shi'i and Sunni school of thoughts.
