She was the beloved daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Hazrat Khadijah (S.A.), born into a home of purity, compassion, and unwavering faith.

Throughout her life, Hazrat Fatima (S.A.) remained close to the Prophet (PBUH), who described her as the leader of the women of Paradise. Her compassion for the poor, her strength during hardship, and her devotion to faith continue to inspire Muslims around the world. Her life, though brief, left an everlasting legacy of virtue, humility, and moral excellence.
