-'''Fatima bint Muhammad''' (c. 605–632 CE) is one of the most revered women in Islamic history. She was the youngest daughter of the Prophet [[Muhammad]] and [[Khadija bint Khuwaylid|Khadija]], and is honored across Islamic traditions for her devotion, spiritual stature, and role within the [[Ahl al-Bayt]].
