FATIMA

Fatima Bint Mohammed The Prophet was the daughter of the prophet Mohammed and his first wife, Khadija. She was born in 606 at Mecca and died in 632. She married her cousin, Ali ibn Abi Talib and by him had two sons, Hasan and Husain, who were the only male perpetuators of Mohammed's family. Shiah Muslims believe that Fatima is divine and believe that one of her descendants will return to earth to rule as the divine Mahdi, and hold her in a similar role to the Catholic Virgin Mary.
