Shia view of Fatima

This is a sub-article of Fatima Zahra and Shi'a Islam.

According to Shi'a scholars, Fatima Zahra was Muhammad's only daughter.[1] The Sunni belief that he had other daughters by Khadijah denies Ali ibn Abu Talib the distinction of being Muhammad's only son-in-law. She is held in highest of esteem, as being the single most ideal example for all women; in terms of her purity and the eventual martyrdom of her son, she is considered to be the Muslim counterpart to the Christian Mary, mother of Jesus; indeed, one of her names is Maryam al-Kubrá, or "the greater Mary".[2]
