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.…
