Fatima’s birthplace
Mawlid Fatima (Fatima’s birthplace) was a room in lady Khadīja’s house over which they built a dome. This part of lady Khadīja’s house has known and visited at least since the 6th century.[1] This house had two domes. One is the dome that was built over the Prophet’s place of worship and was called the Qubba al-Waḥy, and the other is the dome that was built over Fatima’s birthplace. According to Taqī al-Dīn Fāsī , the historian of Mecca, in the 9th century, Khadīja’s house was known as the birthplace of Fatima.[2]
Other reports show the presence of Fatima’s birthplace in Khadīja’s house until the beginning of the 20th century. According to Muḥammad Labīb Batanūnī, who went to Hajj in 1327 AH/1909, Fatima’s birthplace was a room with a width of 4 meters and a length of 7.5 meters, in the middle of which there was a small compartment, which was known as the birthplace of lady Fatima.[3]
