Born in Mecca in 605, Fatimah was the daughter of Muhammad and Khadijah. She played a significant role in the early Islamic community, particularly during the lifetime of her father. Fatimah married Ali ibn Abi Talib, who became the fourth caliph and the first Imam in Shia Islam. She had several children, including Hasan and Husayn, who are revered figures in Islam. Following the death of Muhammad in 632, Fatimah's leadership and efforts in supporting her family and the Muslim community were crucial during a turbulent time.
