When Muhammad died in 632, Fatima and her husband Ali refused to acknowledge the authority of the first caliph, Abu Bakr. The couple and their supporters held that Ali was the rightful successor of Muhammad,[4] possibly referring to his announcement at the Ghadir Khumm.[12]
However, this is not the view held in Orthodox Islam and the majority of Muslims around the world. The page should reflect the Orthodox view and if for the sake of completeness it wishes to include the claim Fatima refused to accept Abu Bakr, a note should be made that this is according to the Shia view. 86.26.78.170 (talk) 23:37, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The page is supposed to reflect reliable sources about the matter and that it does well. It is also the view of the "Orthodox Islam" that Ali withheld his pledge from Abu Bakr for some months after the death of Muhammad (per Sahih Bukhari). He did so obviously because he considered the caliphate to be his own right and his wife Fatima naturally supported his claim until her death. Now the Shia view is that Ali never renounced his claim, based on numerous sayings and letters attributed to him, even though he didn't actively pursue it for the sake of the unity of the Muslim community.

In this article it states “Umm al-Aima (lit. 'the mother of Imams') is a kunya of Fatima in Twelver sources,[4] as all the Twelve Imams descended from her” please change “ all the Twelve Imams” to 11 of the 12 imams as the first Imaam was actually her husband. 92.9.61.190 (talk) 22:50, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Caliphinspector! While a few lines about the Alid descent of the Fatimid dynasty might be relevant, your recent edit is clearly out of the scope of this article. Am I right in concluding that you have directly imported this long new section without any changes from Fatimid dynasty or Fatimid Caliphate? The new references are also missing from the bibliography, creating about a dozen harv errors at the end of the article. May I please ask you to summarize your content in one or two relevant paragraphs and add your sources to the bibliography? Thank you for your interest in the topic and for your help. Please also see WP:OOS and WP:RELEVANCE and WP:EXCESSDETAIL. Albertatiran (talk) 07:29, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong info about Sayyidah Fatimah ra and her family
Ahlul bayt never put so much hatred for sahabah. Infact Abu Bakr ra is the best and the closest companion of Rasulullah Sollaallahu alaihi wasalam until forever. how is it possible that those who have the purity of heart and sincere faith like rasulullah saw hate the good friend of prophet muhammad???? 121.121.56.61 (talk) 00:37, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Albertatiran Hello. I have added a painting of Fatima to the section pertaining to her appearance. In my opinion, the lack of such an image might have been a deficiency in the article. Alongside presenting the beliefs of Sunnis, Shiites, and Sufis, incorporating this image by a western painter can enhance the understanding of the topic and contribute to the improvement of the article. But you've deleted this image. I'd be happy to discuss any problem you might have considered. Hosein (talk) 22:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Albertatiran We can say that at least allegorically. Jules Lefebvre has painted his works, drawing inspiration from historical figures, biblical characters with mythological and allegorical themes. For example, in 1892, he painted Judith, inspired by this character. The title "Fatima" alone is also attributed to the historical figure of Fatima, and the Arabic motif in the painting further suggests this theme. Hosein (talk) 17:05, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Albertatiran Clearly, "Fatima" means "Fatima," (especially with the Tasbih of Fatimah around her neck in the image) and if you think Fatima alone is not widely recognized by this name, it contradicts the existing consensus about the title of the article. Otherwise, consensus could have been reached on another name for the article, such as Fatima bint Muhammad.
If this is not the case, you should express your dissent more clearly. Especially since the article lacks any portrait of her, especially from western artists, which is a deficiency in this article. It is worth mentioning that it is true that in traditional culture, drawing images of the Prophet of Islam and his relatives was usually prohibited, but this should not be a reason for not displaying portraits that help readers' understanding. Hosein (talk) 20:25, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am also not convinced that because the necklace is similar to a Tasbih, and because this article is called Fatima (instead of Fatima bint Muhammad), we should put that image in this article.Ghazaalch (talk) 01:03, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ghazaalch Firstly, in addition to the Tasbih of Fatimah around her neck in the allegorical painting, even the color of her dress (ghamis or gamis) closely matches the one attributed to her in the Istanbul museum (described as yellowish cream with patterns of blue in certain areas). I'm not certain if the dress truly belonged to her, but I mean the painter attempted to draw the most inspiration from the historical figure.
Regarding the second matter, I didn't quite grasp your point. I didn't suggest that just because the article is titled "Fatima," it must include this painting. My main emphasis is that this painting contributes significantly to broadening the subject for the reader, in terms of her appearance. However, if you intend to argue that she wasn't widely recognized under the name "Fatima," my question was whether there is a consensus that she was widely recognized under this name (the title of the article), and there's no room for debate on this matter.

@Wiqi55 Usually, images in such articles (including this one) lack support from reliable sources, and I haven't read in WP:IUP that such a requirement exists. However, an auction catalog is also not a reliable source. Such descriptions can often be general and may not fully capture the artist's intended symbolism or historical references. In the case of the painting in question, "Fatima," I think several elements within the artwork strongly suggest its connection to the historical figure of Fatima.
