Fatima Dargin biography

The military service under the Fatima contract is the first defender of the rights of the Muslims of Dagestan of the pre -revolutionary era of Fatima Patimat Daughter of Strus from the lower Kazani Arslanali Huseyn's son, who in some sources is considered Sheikh of the Nakshbandi Poticate. In the largest village of Temirkhan-Shurinsky district, and all the then of the Dagestan region-large Kazanities Ullu Kazanysh, he built a madrassas, where he was Mudarris and trained both boys and girls.

Here, his daughter Fatima, who, as the Dagestan historian Shamil Shikhaliev, turned out to be an unusually talented girl writes about her; She knew the Arabic perfectly, perfectly mastered a number of religious sciences, wrote her own poems in Kumyk and Arabic. Thanks to the searches and publications of the scientist Hasan Orazaev, we will learn several information about her.

The topic that touches Fatima in his verses and in a letter addressed to the Islamic scientist Nurmuhammad al-Avari, which was known at that time, is significant in that it was previously rarely considered in Muslim society. The text of her appeal is about the fact that in Dagestan society a woman was in an unequal attitude with men in social and social aspects.

There, she gives separate examples when Muslim women in some regions achieved impressive success in their possession of scientific and religious knowledge, in the composition of excellent samples of artistic works. Indeed, this topic is still very little studied, Dagestan historians and researchers note. For the reader, I give this letter entirely, which was published on the Daptar portal, where the author, together with the historian Patimat Takhnaeva, tried to find women whose names are inscribed in the history of Dagestan.

Peace to you from the lord, the all -knowing [Allah]. I wish you Allah put you in health and well -being. Oh, father, it came to me that you were surprised by the fact that Allah awarded us a drop from the sea of ​​knowledge, but you were surprised by the spray of the colliding waves of the sea that fell on me. But these [my knowledge] is not surprising, because I am not an outstanding woman and the first to take steps in this area [knowledge].

There are known examples that indicate what steps women [in the study] of various sciences have taken. This is evidenced by historical books ... ... and this is not surprising. It is amazing what kind of indifference is manifested by people regarding the training of their daughters, their upbringing according to Sharia, the development of their thinking according to Islamic wisdom, not taking into account their [women] desires and willingness to [study] this.

At the same time, explains the need for this [t. After all, science is a support of religion. Both a man and a woman are equal in relation to religious duties. And I do not know the reason why men do not pay attention to teaching daughters reject the training of daughters, likening them to some animals or inanimate things. Without any education, they leave them aside, betraying in the corners of houses for incomprehensible reasons, more confusing than a web.

Didn't they hear the appeal of their Lord: "Allah does not turn a blind eye to what they do unfair." Or they do not obey the words of the Lord of the Almighty: “And those who committed the injustice where they will be returned are recognized” ... ... My heart is taken over by the thought of anxiety about daughters, who drown in the darkness of ignorance ... ... I mourn by these victims, and my grief is sinless, which became a sacrifice of ignorance, ”Fatima notes in her letter.

Fatima lived for a short life, she died in a year, it became known by the date of Nizhny Kazanische, which was indicated on the label in the village of Nizhny Kazan, where she was installed by a small Ziyarat. The life of her father Arslanali Huseynov, who was repressed by the new power in the year, was tragically and the life of her father. The building of the madrasah, personal property, as well as the entire sheikh library, was also partly plundered, destroyed and lost forever.

In his native village, according to the old -timers and the publication of the local local historian Mahmud Gadzhiev, the daughter of Sheikh was remembered as the clairvoyant and the soothsayer, for these abilities, many of the villagers and residents of nearby settlements revered her.
