The Prophet's youngest daughter — raised through the hardest Makkan years, and remembered in a famous hadith as 'a part of me.'
Fatimah bint Muhammad was the youngest daughter of the Prophet ﷺ and Khadijah, born in Makkah around 605 CE while the mission was still years away. She grew up inside the hardest chapter of Islam — boycott, persecution, the loss of her mother — and migrated to join her father in Madinah, where she married Ali ibn Abi Talib and raised the children through whom the Prophet's line continued: Hasan, Husayn, and, in the traditional accounts, Zaynab and Umm Kulthum. She lived simply, gave openly, and survived her father by only months, dying in 11 AH. A well-known hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari records the Prophet ﷺ saying of her: 'Fatimah is a part of me.' The passages below are those most often discussed with her family in the commentary tradition.
Note: The Quran does not name Fatimah directly. The passages above are those most frequently discussed in connection with the Prophet's household in classical commentary.
The value of these lives in the Quran is not ornament. Each narrative is framed as instruction — patience tested and kept, trust justified late, forgiveness extended from strength. Read the passages above in their full surahs through the links; a biography in the Quran is meant to change the reader, not only to inform them.
The figures of the Quran prayed in nearly every scene above. Niyat's dua library collects source-cited supplications — including the prayer of Musa for an eased task and the dua of Yunus from the darknesses — with Arabic, transliteration, and translation.
Read the Quran, learn the prophets, and keep the duas of the figures — all sourced, all in one app.
