Iranian shiites mourn death of prophet's daughter

(20 Feb 2018) LEADIN: Shiite Muslims in Tehran are mourning the anniversary of the death of Fatimah, prophet Muhammad's daughter. Fatimah, who died around 630 CE, is the most sacred woman in the Shiite faith and was a wife of Imam Ali, the first Shiite Imam. STORYLINE: This huge gathering in Tehran today is to mourn the death of the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, Fatimah. Fatimah is considered a symbol of purity, and is praised for her relentless support to her husband, Imam Ali. She was also mother of Imam Hussein, the third Shiite saint whose martyrdom is widely marked on the day of Ashoura. Makki, a mourner, says her veil is a symbol of her love and respect for Fatimah. "For me she is a role model when it comes to loyalty to the prophet, Islam, the Quran and religion. Her main characteristic is the hijab that I'm wearing and I will try to keep this hijab until the end of my life. I owe this to Fatimah." The death of Fatimah is a matter of dispute between Shiite and Sunni historians. According to Shiite sources, Fatimah died as a result of injuries inflicted on her during a raid on her house by Umar who is believed to be Islam's second caliph by Sunnis. Umar is a revered figure by Sunnis and was a senior companion of Prophet Muhammad. Sunni followers of Islam reject such an incident altogether. Both Fatimah and Zahra are the most popular girl names all over the country and she is considered a role model. Iranians believe Fatimah was buried in al-Baqi cemetery in Medina, Saudi Arabia beside other relatives of Prophet Muhammad.
