Fatima bint Musa (Arabic: فَاطِمَة بِنْت مُوسَىٰ, Fāṭima bint Mūsā; born 1st Dhu al-Qadah 173 AH – 10th or 12th of Rabi' al-Thani 201 AH; approximately March 22, 790 AD – November 7 or 9, 816 AD), commonly known as Fatima al-Ma'suma (Arabic: فَاطِمَة ٱلْمَعْصُومَة, Fāṭima al-Maʿṣūmah) was the daughter of the seventh Twelver Shia Imam, Musa al-Kazim and sister of the eighth Twelver Shia Imams, Ali al-Rida. Every year, millions of Shia Muslims travel to Qom to honor Fatima al-Ma'suma at her shrine.
Fatima al-Ma'suma is the eldest daughter of Musa al-Kazim, whom the Shi'ites consider to be the holiest child of Musa al-Kazim after her brother Ali al-Rida.
Fatima al-Ma'suma has been highly praised in the narrations and speeches of four Shi'ite Imams, so much so that Ja'far al-Sadiq, the sixth Imam of Shi'ites in two narrations, Ali al-Rida, the eighth Imam of Shi'ites in five narrations And Muhammad al-Jawad, the ninth Imam of the Shi'ites, has emphasized in a narration that whoever visits Fatima al-Ma'suma in Qom will go to heaven.
Another prominent feature of Fatima al-Ma'suma is her position of intercession. According to the narration of Ja'far al-Sadiq and Ali al-Rida, he will intercede for the Shi'ites on the Day of Judgment so that all of them will enter Paradise.
Another prominent feature of Fatima al-Ma'suma is her birth prediction. This feature has not happened to any of the children of Shi'ite Imams.
There are two reports from two different people that Ja'far al-Sadiq, the sixth Imam of the Shi'ites, predicted Fatima's birth 45 years before her birth. These predictions mention his name and that of his father and his burial place.
Another advantage of Fatima al-Ma'suma, as Ja'far al-Sadiq pointed out, is that (the shrine of Fatima al-Ma'suma in Qom is the shrine of all Shi'ite Imams).
This means that all twelve Shi'ite Imams are present in the shrine of Fatima al-Ma'suma and whoever visits Fatima al-Ma'suma in Qom seems to have visited all twelve Shi'ite Imams.
Another very valuable feature of Fatima al-Ma'suma is the title of her (al-Ma'suma) by Ali al-Rida
al-Ma'suma in Arabic means pure and innocent. Ali al-Rida's purpose in giving this name to his sister was to prove that Fatima al-Ma'suma is a pure and innocent human being, which is very valuable for Shi'ites. And shows that Fatima al-Ma'suma has a degree of infallibility
