Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Fatima's Touch is unique. Biographies of Muhammad are available, but there is very little in English on Fatimathe Prophet's youngest daughterher life and family. The word Islam takes up a great deal of space in world events today, so it would follow that there are many who are curious about the founder of Islam and his famous daughter, Fatima al-Zahra. How was she raised? Why was she known as the Mother of Her Father? How were she and her family treated after Muhammad's death? The Sunni/Shia conflict originated with a struggle for political power and attempt to exclude Fatima's husband and sons from guiding Muhammad's followers.

The sources are from historically reliable books and papers. For information and translation, Kahn called upon Islamic scholar Dr. Arthur Buehler, (PhD Harvard, recipient of Fulbright and Rockefeller grants,) who has been collecting and translating the material on Fatima for the last six years, and sharing it with her.…
