The General Secretariat of the Imam Ali Holy Shrine has inaugurated the “Dar Fatima” exhibition, showcasing significant episodes from the life of Lady Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon her), including the hardships and suffering she endured following the martyrdom of her father, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family).

Karrar al-Hilou, Head of the Holy Shrine’s Department of Intellectual and Cultural Affairs, said the exhibition represents a contemporary approach to communicating Islamic values to different segments of society. He explained that it seeks to promote patience, steadfastness and the defence of truth, drawing inspiration from the life and legacy of Lady Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon her).
He added that the exhibition incorporates modern technologies, particularly artificial intelligence applications, to present interactive scenes and images, while preserving the historical character of the house through traditional architectural designs, construction materials and building techniques that recreate the atmosphere of that period.
Sheikh Hasnain Qaftan, from the Islamic Culture Division of the Department of Intellectual and Cultural Affairs, explained that the exhibition traces different stages of Lady Fatima’s blessed life, from her birth and upbringing to the events following her father’s martyrdom, as well as the final days of her life and her martyrdom.
He noted that combining historical reenactments with written documentation allows visitors to engage more closely with the events, deepens their connection with the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) and introduces their positions and sacrifices through an approach that brings together historical knowledge and visual presentation.
