Salaam Alaikum
This is a short Intro bout her..!
Lady Fatima Masuma (A) was the daughter of the 7th Imam, and the Sister of the 8th Imam. She was a noble lady who dedicated her life to Islam and Allah (s.w.t). She was Highly gifted and due to the training of her father and brother, she has achieved a high reputation in history for her knowledge and piety.
She was Only 6 yrs old when her father was arrested by Harun (The 6th abbasid caliph) and thereafter, she was brought up under the care of her brother Imam Redha(A.S) for twenty one years.
In the year 200 A.H, Mamun (the 7th abbasid caliph) forced the Imam (a.s) to move from Madina to Khurasan, in Iran. And so, Lady Fatima Masuma (A) was once more separated from her guardian.
In the yr 201 AH, she decided to leave Madina and travel to Khurasan to be at the side of her brother, intending to help in his mission to preach Islam. But regrettably, she never reached him.
The caravan that she was travelling with, was ambushed at Saweh, where she had to witness the brutal killing of her close family members. As a result she can be compared to Lady Zaynab (A), who suffered a similer plight in Karbala.
Lady Fatima Masuma (A) was taken ill at Saweh. From here, the Shia of the nearby Qum brought her to their city, where she spent the last few days, before passing away during the month of Rabi al Thani in 201 AH.
Lady Fatima Masuma (A) is buried in Qum, Iran. Due to her blessed presence and patronage, the city has grown into a centre of shia learning; a destination for thousands of muslim students over 80 countries.
Life in Qum largely revolves around the haram of lady Fatima Masuma (A), which is the Focal point of this holy city.
Every yr thousand of pilgrims come from all over the world to pay homage to this noble lady. They come to pay their respect to this Lady in accordance to the reliable traditions of three holy Imams (A) which are qouted belowl;
From 6th Imam, Imam Jaffer al- Sadiq(A):
''A lady from My children whose name will be Fatima, daughter of Musa, will die in Qum. On the day Of judgment this lady will intercede for all my shia to enter heaven''.
From 8th Imam, Imam Ali Ridha (A):
''Whoever visits Masuma in Qum is like the one who has visited me''.
From the 9th Imam, Imam Muhammed Taqi al- Jawaad (A):
''Whoever visits my Aunt in Qum will enter Heaven''.
