Even before she was born, Shi’i Imams foretold Fatimah Masumah’s holiness and piety. Scholars have written that she had a “special gift” of knowledge and spiritual awareness, even in childhood. When she was only ten years old, Harun al-Rashid, the 5th caliph of the Abbasid Caliphate sent her father to prison. This separation was very difficult for Fatimah, but her brother ‘Ali was 25 years her senior and took care of her.
