"Fatima az-Zahra (AS) was one of the three daughters of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and whose mother, Khadija, was the Prophet’s first wife. The Prophet commended Fatima’s character, once saying to her, "Thou art the highest of the women of the people of Paradise, excepting only the Virgin Mary, daughter of Imran" (Lings M, Muhammad; his life based on the earliest sources 1988, p332). She is usually referred to as Fatima az-Zahra which in English means ‘Fatima the Resplendent’".(Hashemite Kingdom Of Jordan-Family Tree). She married ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, the Prophet’s paternal cousin, who is also known as the leader of the faithful; Amir Ul Mumineen.

Seventy days after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the grieving Fatima(AS) (Click)too passed away. Today she is held in great reverence by Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims alike and Fatima’s Tomb is located in al-Baqi cemetery well known as Jannatul Baqi (click link for more)(Holy Baqi) in al-Medina al-Munawwara.

The Holy Prophet(SAW) said: "Whoever injures (bodily or sentimentally) Fatima, injures me; and whoever injures me injures Allah; and whoever injures Allah practises unbelief. O Fatima! If your wrath is incurred, it incurs the wrath of Allah; and if you are happy, it makes Allah happy too."

Bibi Fatima(AS) prayed and remembered her Father: " O my father! after your death I was subjected to such tortures and tyranny that if they had been inflicted on the 'Day', it would have turned to 'Night'. "
