Summary

Fatima in Islamic Sacred Sources: This chapter explores the significance of Fatima in both popular Muslim and Shiʿi contexts. Drawing from Qur’anic verses, historical accounts, and spiritual literature, it unveils her role as a symbol of resilience against female infanticide, her dedication to social-economic justice, her active participation in interreligious events, and her mystical standing within the Islamic tradition.
