Description
Zaynab bint Ali (Arabic: زينب بنت علي) was the daughter of the First Imam and Islamic caliph, Ali (Ali ibn Abu Talib), and granddaughter of Islamic prophet, Muhammad through his daughter Fatimah.
In Muslim views, she is a great figure of sacrifice and strength. In Iran, her birthday is recognized as Nurse’s Day.
Zaynab was the third child of Ali and Fatimah. She was born in Medina on the 5th of Jumada al-awwal (although some traditions say she was born on the 1st of Sha’aban) (of the Islamic calendar). Zaynab was named by Muhammad just as with her two elder brothers, Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain. Zaynab means “the adornment of her father” as a reference to Imam Ali. Zaynab lost her mother when she was only three years old. She grew extremely close to her full brothers, the Imams Hasan ibn Ali and Husayn ibn Ali.
