Fatima Zahra

Fatima Zahra also called Fatemeh Al Zahraa or Az-Zahra (Arabic: {}) was the daughter of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). She was born in Mecca, Arabia about 606 and died in Medina in 632. She was said to have been Muhammad's favorite (and according to some sources, his only) daughter. Some Muslims consider her to be the "Chief of the Women" in Paradise. She has also often been considered a role model for Muslim women (see Ali Shariati's Fatemeh is Fatemeh).

Fatima married Ali ibn Abi Talib, who later became the fourth Caliph. The couple had three sons, Al Hasan, Al Husein, and Al Muhsin. Mohammad prophesied that the promised Mahdi will born in the progency of his daughter Fatima.
