The daughter of Mohammad, founder of the Muslim faith, and his first wife, is often referred to as “the shining one” and she has also been honored with the title of Umm-ul-Aaima (Mother of Imams).  She is the object of the veneration, love, and respect of all Muslims, as she was the child closest to her father and supported him in his difficulties.
