Abstract
In the contemporary era, in which threats posed by lifestyles incompatible with human dignity have increased, attention to the Islamic lifestyle and the presentation of its comprehensive model, especially for Muslim women, has become a vital necessity. This study aims to identify, analyze, and extract the key components of the Islamic lifestyle in its individual, familial, and social dimensions, drawing upon the conduct (Sīrah) of Lady Fāṭimah al-Zahrā (as). The present research adopts a descriptive–analytical approach and relies on authentic Islamic sources, particularly the scholarly and practical conduct of Lady Fāṭimah (as) and texts related to her, such as the Sermon of Fadak. Data were collected through documentary research and analyzed and categorized using content analysis. The findings indicate that the conduct of Lady Fāṭimah (as) embodies a comprehensive Islamic lifestyle model that encompasses all dimensions of life, doctrinal, personal, ethical, and social. By presenting specific components and strategies, this conduct facilitates the path toward perfection and felicity for both individuals and society. The extracted indicators, in a coherent manner, guarantee spiritual well-being and the dynamism of Islamic society. The results of the study suggest that modeling and institutionalizing lifestyle indicators based on the conduct of Lady Fāṭimah (as) within society, in addition to effectively confronting cultural invasion and aggressive Western lifestyles, will pave the way for the continuous advancement of Islamic society in various dimensions and ultimately ensure worldly and otherworldly felicity.
