Imam Khomeini announced birthday Anniversary of Hadrat Fatimah Zahra (a) as Woman's Day.
In an address to women, Imam Khomeini once said, In your attempts to uphold all the qualities that make up the great character of woman, be as that unique woman, Hazrat Fatima Zahra, upon whom be peace, was. All of us should take our exemplar from Islam by looking at her and her children and being as she was.
Imam Khomeini stressed the need to follow footsteps to Hazrat Zahra ('a), her husband Imam Ali ('a), and the Infallible Imams of her lineage that preserved for humanity the genuine teachings of her Peerless Father, Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him).
Imam Khomeini on various historic occasions regarding the way of life of Hazrat Fatima (upon whom be peace) said as following:
Strive to purify your character and to make your friends do likewise. Strive so that you react to the outrages committed against you. In your attempts to uphold all the qualities that make up the great character of woman, be as that unique woman, Hazrat Fatima Zahra, upon whom be peace, was. All of us should take our exemplar from Islam by looking at her and her children and being as she was. Strive to acquire learning and godliness, for learning is not the preserve of any one person, learning is for all, godliness is for all, and striving to acquire learning and achieve godliness is the duty of us all.
