Abstract
Lady Fatimah Zahra (peace be upon her), the unparalleled role model of worship and spirituality, was so devoted in the sanctuary of servitude to God that her life was a full mirror of humility and sincerity. This study was conducted with the aim of explaining the spiritual status and servitude in the life of Lady Fatimah Zahra (peace be upon her). The research method used in this study is a review-based, documentary, and library method. According to the findings, spirituality and worship constituted an important part of her life, and she was known by attributes such as 'worshipper,' 'ascetic,' 'kneeler,' and 'prostrator.' Numerous narrations indicate her deep humility and sincere servitude before God. Lady Fatimah's monotheistic outlook led to the attainment of perfect sincerity in behavior, including in worship. She considered the secret of the descent of divine blessings and welfare to lie in the purification of worship. This deep knowledge and insight resulted in a reliance on God that entrusted all her life’s plans to the Divine Essence and manifested in her supplications with the Creator.
